ASUS WL500W Wireless Router Instructions
Journalling_Flash_File_System
• Folder /jffs appears locally, while
Content actually saved remotely, on
◊ NAS (Network Attached Storage)
◊ Server (PC or some type of file server)
• To use ipkg also create folder /jffs/tmp/ipkg
mkdir /jffs/tmp
mkdir /jffs/tmp/ipkg
Costs:
• ! Setting up a NAS or Server only for router maybe not economical.
♦ Equipment Costs: Requires existing NAS or PC Server
♦ Electricity Costs: if entire Server is only serving router
• Availability Demands: CIFS share must be available
♦ 24/7, or whenever the DD-WRT Device is on, and
♦ Storing JFFS Share on quality equipment is required (i.e. Raid, Power Backup)
◊ ! Remote storage down means /jffs down, could mean DD-WRT Device down
(increases the weak points).
• Security Limitations: CIFS is limited to Microsoft's SMB protocol, offering up to only 128-bit
security.
♦ Poor Microsoft Protocol Security is not a problem if the LAN is physically and electronically
protected from outside or inside intrusion (i.e. Guards, Guns, Locks, Dogs, Mines, Cameras,
Firewalls)
• LAN Connection Required: NAS cannot be wirelessly attached to DD-WRT Device.
• Hassle: Using Microsoft Windows as the jffs Server
♦ ! Symbolic links in /jffs may not work.
♦ ! Rename (mv) commands on the /jffs mount may not work.
Most people only own an (inexpensive) Windows PC. A common Desktop PC does not a 24/7 Server
make.
The following non-updated (as of 20080520) examples may be out of date:
• CIFS was broken on many builds this update author tried. Although other people have reported it
working - It may be a limitation of BusyBox CIFS when using NTLMv2 and 128-bit encryption.
• (Mostly) only structural and spelling mistakes were corrected below (20080522)
Use a Startup Script: Example 1
1. Read how to use Startup Scripts. Then place the following into your startup script to mount the JFFS
partition:
umount /jffs #unmounts existing /jffs if existing
mount.cifs //<server's IP>/jffs /jffs -o username=<the username>,password=<the password>
nvram set sys_enable_jffs2=1 # fake-enable JFFS. Enable but do not commit. Makes ipkg think jffs2
Using CIFS (Client Samba): Storing /jffs content remotely
