jcc10 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) Now let me start off and say this might be user error, if so you may want to update the the wiki. Hardware Version: Mark IV Firmware Version: See Below What the problem is. In detail: See Below If it is repeatable: Yes (Plug one of the listed USB's in) Any error messages or helpful log output: See References What is running on the pineapple at the time of the bug: Differs Any fixes you have discovered: Downgrading firmware has helped some. Now on to the issue: Something that has just happened to me is I got a USB drive and set it up with a SWAP partition a data partition Etc. When I plug it in the device will ether reboot, or not recognise the entire drive, forcing me to reboot, when it does reboot the WPS light just flashes and the power light is on, other than that it is a brick, you can power-cycle it (after removing the USB drive) and it returns to normal operating status, I have no Idea why it is doing this but it is getting annoying quickly. Now what some have done is downgrade the firmware, if I know of a firmware that works for a usb drive I will list it neat to the drive. List of dirves: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Arnap5k8HCLydHdHbnFhbTh0N0FaLXRaU0w3NnIzTWc Google drive so I can make it look nice I have no others to list, but there are others, please tell me what one you have and please (if you can) give wattage/voltage incase that may be the problem, if a mod wants to take control of the document PM me. References: http://forums.hak5.o...usb-port-issue/ http://forums.hak5.o..._hl__+usb +port I will try to edit this when I find out more...

Scanner Martel Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 have you issued the "mkswap /dev/sda2" cmd in the advanced tab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc10 Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 have you issued the "mkswap /dev/sda2" cmd in the advanced tab? Well Dear sir/madam I would really like to do that but cant due to the pineapple rebooting when I insert the USB drive, I have attempted to partition it in quite a few ways one of them having a Linux swap partition when I insert it, It has yet to run proper.

Scanner Martel Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) You may have meant this all as given but im just gona give Occam's razor the credit its due. Have formatted to Ext4? What OS are you using, and how are you formatting? last simple solution i could think of is have you changed the config swap to 1? (don't need USB to be plugged in to do this). if it aint these then we ser are in the same boat. I fixed the reboot problem by going over these features and now it reads the USB ( the light goes on, and it shows the device in the USB section of the web GUI) but its not expanding the disk space in the resources section. And its Mr. Scanner. Edited January 3, 2013 by Scanner Martel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc10 Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) Dear Mr. Scanner. I am using a windows tool called mini tool partition wizard( Home Ed.), it formats in Ext4 and Linux swap partitions (among others) I did three tests if you would like to look at the results (Put in spoilers so I don't kill the page) Test 1: USB: Ext4 12.90GB ; Ext4 2.00GB PINEAPPLE: config global automount option from_fstab 1 option anon_mount 1 config global autoswap option from_fstab 1 option anon_swap 0 config mount option target /usb option device /dev/sda1 option fstype ext4 option options rw,sync option enabled 1 option enabled_fsck 0 config swap option device /dev/sda2 option enabled 1 RESULT: USB on WPS flashes "Reboot" Power & lan on Power on ; wps & USB usage(On usb) flashes Test 2: USB: Unallocated/No Partition 14.91GB PINEAPPLE: config global automount option from_fstab 1 option anon_mount 1 config global autoswap option from_fstab 1 option anon_swap 0 config mount option target /usb option device /dev/sda1 option fstype ext4 option options rw,sync option enabled 1 option enabled_fsck 0 config swap option device /dev/sda2 option enabled 0 RESULT: FUNCTIONS NORMALY (Cant do a swap though) Test 3: USB: Ext4 (2kb block); Ext4 (2kb block) Pineapple: config global automount option from_fstab 1 option anon_mount 1 config global autoswap option from_fstab 1 option anon_swap 0 config mount option target /usb option device /dev/sda1 option fstype ext4 option options rw,sync option enabled 1 option enabled_fsck 0 config swap option device /dev/sda2 option enabled 1 Result: Wont show up, then after a reboot it goes into flashy light mode. Now if you notice I am getting it to run, if it partitions it, tomorrow (Friday) I am going to attempt to run Linux to solve this... Be Back Soon Jcc10 Edited January 4, 2013 by jcc10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcc10 Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 Well that did not work, I ran Ubuntu in a VM, and re-partitioned the USB drive, it refused to mkswap, it would accept the command then freeze the SSH connection, this is turning out to be really finicky so if a DEV would like to come on here I would really like to have some official input here. Really annoyed JCC10 (PS: I have spent over 48 hours lurking the forums looking for fixes for this... still looking.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really annoyed JCC10 (PS: I have spent over 48 hours lurking the forums looking for fixes for this... still looking.) Make swap command is issued on the pineapple. Some issues in the past with thumb drives was some partition programs would create partitions in sda5 and sda6 instead of sda1 and sda2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scanner Martel Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) I was also using mini tool partition and tried it on an ubuntu 11.10 VM. Didnt work. Partitioning went well. But now plugging in the USB brings me right back to a dropped connection and the flashing WPS light. This should not be this flipping tedious/ impossible!
