Problem mounting µSD with Huawei E303F

[firewall1]

Hi to all.

i want to use my USB 3G modem on pineapple MK4 box.

i succeeded to use the modem by this script :

*12d1:1506*)    echo "Huawei E303F detected. Attempting mode switch"
                uci delete network.wan2
                uci set network.wan2=interface
                uci set network.wan2.ifname=ppp0
                uci set network.wan2.proto=3g
                uci set network.wan2.service=umts
                uci set network.wan2.device=/dev/ttyUSB0
                uci set network.wan2.apn=myapnname
                uci set network.wan2.username=myusernameoperator
                uci set network.wan2.password=mypasswordoperator
                uci set network.wan2.defaultroute=1
                uci commit network
                usb_modeswitch -v 12d1 -p 1506
                sleep 10; rmmod usbserial
                sleep 3; insmod usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1506
                sleep 5; /etc/init.d/firewall disable; /etc/init.d/firewall stop
                logger "3G: firewall stopped"
                iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 172.16.42.0/24 -o 3g-wan2 -j MASQUERADE
                iptables -A FORWARD -s 172.16.42.0/24 -o 3g-wan2 -j ACCEPT
                iptables -A FORWARD -d 172.16.42.0/24 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -i 3g-wan2 -j ACCEPT

                ;;

Ok now i would like to mount the 4Gb µSD that i have inside this key.

So my card is Ext4 formatted with 1Gb for Swap (Ext4) and a 3Gb for data (Ext4) (i follow instructions i found in forum).

Now is the problem:

1) in /dev , the name of Sdcard is sdb.

so i modify the fstab with the following options :

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/sdb
       option fstype   ext4
       option options  rw,sync
       option enabled  1
       option enabled_fsck 0


config swap
       option device   /dev/sda2
       option enabled  0

if i do that, i can see my 3Gb partion on ressources

/dev/sda1                 2.9G     68.4M      2.7G   2% /mnt/sda1

But at this step i can not use USB storage (look like not found by pineapple).

if i check in /mnt at this step i have

sda1 and sda2 present.

now i try to mount swap on sda2, so i change config swap to:

config swap
       option device   /dev/sda2
       option enabled  1

i update FStab and i "mkswap /dev/sda2"

i reboot

now i can see my swap :

Swap: 787180 76 787104

but i can not see my 3Gb partition.

Can somebody help me with this pb please ?

Thanks in advance

I spend my day on this problem so with the result maybe some master can help me :

1) factory reset => paste 3G script : can see swap mounted and sda1 mounted for few second after reboot.... after few second, sda1 diseapear.

2) format scard for remove swap. make 3.9Gb partition => factory reset : sda1 mounted for few second after reboot.... after few second, sda1 diseapear.

can thishelp people forhelp me ?

Thanks

Try this Fstab

config global automount
       option from_fstab 1
       option anon_mount 1

config global autoswap
       option from_fstab 1
       option anon_swap 1

config mount
       option target   /usb
       option device   /dev/sda
       option fstype   ext4
       option options  rw,sync
       option enabled  1
       option enabled_fsck 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

Thank you for your answer.

I try with your FStab and it is the same.

Mount for few seconds and then disepear.

I think maybe a problem when mounting the 3G connection.

Any other ideas ?

thanks in advance

I think you cant mount 3g and musb at the same time. You have to use switchmode

@Boba Fett

Thank you for your help.

Yes this is what i was thinking but i try without mount 3G on boot and the problem is exactly the same.

Any other ideas?

Did someone already mount µSD inside 3G modem ?

Did someone use USB Hub ?

For me This fstab works on all firmwares up to 2.8 for some reason it won't auto mount on 2.8, it seems to ignore fstab on boot, I have to issue mount /dev/sda /usb I get an error message in putty but it mounts ok to USB

[firewall1]

I try both with 2.7.7 and 2.8.0 and i have same problem.

But like you if i "mount /dev/sda /usb" it mount the card (with error message).

Hello there.

So i found a acceptable solution.

It look like the Fstab mount the Sd card and the 3G script is disturbed by the Fstab ....

What i do is :

disable the option enable in the fs tab :

 
 option enabled 0

Both for sda1 and sda2

now i put this in WPS button script :

mount /dev/sda /usb
mount /dev/sda1 /usb

Now after booting, i wait untill del stop blinking.

I push the button ( i push two times because maybe i should put some tempo...)

Now i look in my ressources and my Sd card is mounted on /usb.

Everything works fine after that .

But i can not enjoy Autostart from SSLstrip...

Maybe a master can found another, better issue to this problem.

Best Regards
