this can occur if some Windows client has a samba share mounted and does not disconnect automatically. Or did you enable UPnP autosearch?

Thank's for the hint schufti! Though I can surely tell that no samba client was active at the time of the happening i did not at all think of an automated procedure to update the upnp thing. I have disabled it and hope that the issue is gone now.

It's great that there finally is some source for this thing. Though i think i won't be able to compile my own version I strongly hope that anyone of you will create a telnet-enabled version Wink

Big thanks to all of you for your efforts

greets

Michael

@ ciko :

Telnet enabled has allready been done wih older FW, probably will be too with new one ;o)

Hope my device will work this evening, i'll backup my datas and format the drive... maybe the SMB problem is due to some mess with the directories attributes and rights management... i dont think this is an hardware problem, what do you think about this Schufti?

Soon the device works, i'll check the uploaded source file, if all is ok, we can put it online.

Edit : Files checked, all is ok, i'll see with Stylesuxx to host it and to put a link here. I had to erase all datas on MGB and reset it fully to make it work again, now seems ok.

Hiya i've just bought a MGB111.

So ive got a few questions.

1)Whats the maximum capacity disk it will take?
2)Can anyone point out any major problems that i may encounter with this device?
3)What firmware should i ensure is on it before i start to fill my drive with files?
4)Can the AMIT MGB111 support multiple users logining in at the same time sharing different access rights?
5)Can i upload and download to this drive across a network? or are the uploads only by the USB option?
6)What file type do you recommend i stick to when formating this device? (NTFS, FAT32?) i may at some point use this with linux.
7)Whats this device like for streaming across the wireless option?
Cool Is there any particular way i should set this up on my network to get the most benifits from it?
9)Does anyone have any screen shots of the menu?

Id really appreciae any input any of you can post to me regarding the above, many thanks in advance! Grin

Hi ukez

About this device, you may encounter problems with download managers, stabilty, bug with firefox and size limitations, to fix all of theses and add functionality, you may update it with the FW described and linked a few posts before, but be sure your MGB111 is a PEARL PE4088 one, or it may not work .

Downloads and Uploads can be done at the same time via network, easily, dont have to use USB.
Users can log at the same time on the network.
The admin interface is easy but take some time to look at all options.
Read carefully the manual...

For your fat / ntfs question... well you dont have to do this, your driver will be totally formatted by the MGB111 as it uses ext3 filesystem, the MGB11 is a linux based device.

For the streaming, with the latest FW provided here, you can use upnp to stream medias accross your network.

I use the MGB111 as a Wireless router / access point, no problems, got many options for security.

As i allways say, Read the manual... especially if you don't know how to use, and how it works...

hmm, you should see if thats an Airlive device or not... on the box or in the webadmin, due to the look and feel of the webpages.

As you know Kael managed to obtain the SourceCode from Amit.
Here you can find all files provided by him if you are interested to modify your firmware:


Best regards

Michael

Edit: According to Kael the files have to be extracted as root to prevent errors

Hi,

a modified (hopefully enhanced) bin file for the device can be found here

http://style-o-design.rivido.de/mgb111/upgrade-r400b2.bin

What's new?
autoexec script (on 1st hdd partition or usb) execution à la schufti
printserver function
more busybox options (commandline editing + tab expansion, dmesg, vi, free, ...)
telnet

have fun, chimbo

@chimbo

Hi chimbo,

what can I do now with the upgrade-r400b2.bin ? Huh
Can I just load it up with the webinterface? Huh

I'm a little confused because the last FW update was something about 4MB and your update is just
something around 220 KB.  Tongue

Did someone already try to install this to the mgb-111? Cry

cheers

I've tried the file, seems it does not work for me... the admin page to load it doesnt load anything, or maybe i've got a crash somewhere in my MGB111... the update procedure just give me "cannot load webpage"

Looks like something went wrong with the download. Size should be 3.659.716 bytes. Just try it again and update with web interface.

Some people experienced loss of user configuration and user data on disk after installing this firmware. So be carefull and backup your user data and configuration if any before updating.
