but i cant use ssh and webui pyload and transmission anymore after doing this work so i'm sticking with ext3 drive. it's seem that many user apps has not been configured to work with app on USB.
The same problem with you

I don't understand this tutorial. If I want to use my internal HDD for storage and the NMT Apps on a separate USB Stick I can just install the NMT Apps on that stick and then select the internal HDD as download destination for Transmission, right?

Thank you this helped allot, but to be sure it is not possible! to seed torrents from 2 drives??

Forgot to mention, you need to stop the application (for example Transmission) thru CSI before editing settings file and start it again after you finish and save the file. It won't work otherwise.
P.S. I also changed this line from daemon.sh:
if [ ! -e /sata_disk_a1/Download ]; then
mkdir /sata_disk_a1/Download -m 777
to read:
if [ ! -e /share/Download ]; then
mkdir /share/Download -m 777
Seems to work either way with no difference whatsoever

Good guide for those that may need it.
For those thinking why cannot I simply go into NMT Setup Wizard and specify the SATA HDD as my Media Drive. Thereby making download folders on the SATA HDD for torrent and usenet downloads.
Answer is yes you can simply do it via that way, however if you use some CSI Apps then they are required to be on a standard setup where the Media Drive is also the location of your NMT Apps install. Thereby the need for a Guide.
We have had a guide that explains how to format the large storage partition from ext to NTFS and still allow CSI Apps to work but this one if for a different scenario with separate locations for the NMT Apps install and a NTFS formatted HDD.

HI! First I just wanna say that I am not an expert and I did this thru a lot of trial and error. I'm not 100% sure about what I did but it all works now on my C200 and it is very stable. NMT APPS & CSI are on a USB drive, all my files are on a NTFS formatted SATA HDD. Transmission downloads directly to SATA. You need Notepad++ text editor to do this(do not use wordpad or notepad);next, enable viewing hidden files( go to Folder options in control panel on Windows PC); make sure ftp&samba are enabled and you can connect with your PC; make backup of your files just in case...
First, I did as was written in this post (http://www.networkedmediatank.com/showth...tid=46463) and it worked until I had to restart NMT because it kept crashing.
It is very important that you go thru the lines of code I'll put here and change the appropriate lines to correspond to your settings(for example, my HDD is named "sata_disk_a1" and that is what is written im my daemon.sh file. If your HDD is named sata_disk_A2 or different you need to go thru it and change the names)
1. Unplug HDD and plug an USB key.(delete Application files and folders from HDD if you have them from before you take it out)
2. SETUP -> Maintenance -> NMT Setup Wizard menu.
Chose USB Update (which you need to download and place in the root of your USD) and Fresh install.
3. Download CSI, configure your device Popcorn Hour *200 (USB), and use CSI. Install transmission 2.50 and torrent expander and other programs you like and then turn the NMT off, put the HDD with your media back in.
4. On your PC, go to MY COMPUTER, then NETWORK(on the left side), then PCH200. Look which two links(folders) you have there. In my case, there are sata_disk_A1 and share.
4.then with notepad++ open start_app.sh which is located in the share folder.
5.Copy paste this on line 1
Code:
# symlink SATA to USB ! Artifex14
## Values to change
for folder in Download Music Photo Video;do # you can change these values, they correspond to the HDD folder.
NUMBER=1 # Your HDD number, you can see it in the FTP or the samba share.
##
filecount()
{
[ -e "$1" ] && numfiles=$# || numfiles=0
}
rm /share/${folder} # It removes any old symlink.
if [ -d "/share/${folder}/" ]; #it tries if the folder exists.
then
cnt=$(ls /share/${folder} | wc -l) # It exists then it verify if it got any folder/file in this folder.
if [[ ! $cnt -ne 0 ]] ; then
rm -r /share/${folder} # It doesn't got anything in the folder, so it deletes the folder (using rm -r).
fi
fi
if [ -d "/opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/SATA_DISK_A$NUMBER" ]; #Verify if the HDD was plugged after or before boot
then
SATA=SATA_DISK_A$NUMBER # Before
else
SATA=SATA_DISK_B$NUMBER # After
fi
ln -s /$SATA/${folder} /share/ # Now it links the folder of the HDD to the share !
echo "All right"
done
6. in the share directory, delete the Download Music Photo Video folders
7. on your NMT GUI, access your USB drive, restart the NMT and wait for a few minutes. Your Download Music Photo Video folders should be seen in the share folder looking on your PC. If they are not, restart the NMT again until they are. I am not sure why it happens.
8. open the .transmission folder on your share folder(it's hidden) and open settings.json with notepad++ and change the line to read "download-dir": "\/share\/\/Download",
save it and exit
9.open Transmission folder on share/aps and edit daemon.sh with notepad++ Change the appropriate lines to read like in my code or just replace the whole thing if you have c200 but make sure you change to correct names if yours are different(like sata_disk_A1 or A2 or A3 or share or Download etc.). This is my daemon.sh:
Code:
#!/bin/sh

12.restart the NMT and then open the start.app again.
Replace the whole thing with this code if you have c200 or edit appropriately. This is my start.app code:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
#
PATH=/share/Apps/Telnetd/bin:/share/bin:/share/Apps/AppInit:$PATH
HOME=/share
export TERM="xterm"
alias mc="mc -c"
#Copy waitimages when they are available

cp /share/Photo/_waitimages_/* /bin
fi
#For some NMT hardware (like Popcorn B-110) compatibility may go up when creating a
#symbolic link HARD_DISK to SATA_DISK
if [ ! -d "/opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/HARD_DISK" ]; then
ln -s /opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/USB_DRIVE /opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/HARD_DISK
fi
#cleanup old files
rm -f /share/busybox 2>&1 >/dev/null
rm -f /share/commands.cgi 2>&1 >/dev/null
#M_A_R_K_E_R_do_not_remove_me
exit 0
I'm not sure whether you need to edit the start.app.bak too but anyway, mine is exactly the same as start.app file.
restart the nmt and it should all work. CSI can install apps, torrent downloads to HDD and all media is on HDD
If you use nzbget, I think you should edit its settings like you just did for transmission and torrentexpander for it to work and to download to HDD.
Once again, I am not an expert, I did this thru trial and error and I'm just posting how I did it. I hope it helps everyone who wants to use CSI and APPS and MEDIA as I do. And please, If someone has a better and easier idea, please share. Ciao
