how to see and use sdhc storage from modem

[dutchdog]

Hi. Have an e392, working on pineapple. For some strange reason it lists as e398. But that doesn't bother me.

I inserted an 8gb sdhc card and want to use that for storage and infusions.

However the it doesn't show or is usable.

How do I get it to work? Thanks

Anyone?

You will find a lot of information to be able to mount your sd-card in this thread.

I was able to get my MF691 ZTE modem to work with my sd card, all I had to do was add sleep 15 to the fstab file. No other changes were made.

towards the bottom it shows you where you need to put the file.

Thanks I will try and revert back.

I tried to add that line to fstab

Sleep 15

Got error. No space on device?

[deathdealerxx]

Go into the fstab file and look for this and add the sleep 15

start() {
. /lib/functions/mount.sh

sleep 15

config_load fstab
mkdir -p /var/lock
lock /var/lock/fstab.lck
[ -e /tmp/fstab ] || {
echo '# WARNING: this is an auto generated file, please use uci to set defined filesystems' > /tmp/fstab
}
lock -u /var/lock/fstab.lck
config_foreach do_swapon swap
config_foreach do_mount mount
config_foreach do_swapon swap # do swap a second time so that swap on filesystems is enabled
}

As I all did it in windows, this is the howto guide and what software I used:

1. I formatted the SD card to EXT4, using 'MiniTool Partition' (free download supports EXT4)

2. I edited the Fstab file on the pineapple to include the 'sleep 15' ( Location -> ETC/init.d/Fstab)

I used WinSCP. The modem needs to be disconnected from the pineapple. (else you could get a 'no space error')

http://download.cnet.com/WinSCP/3001-2160_4-10400769.html?spi=5160a98b332d0ba7c7c883ead353902b

to easily edit it. It should look like this:

start() {
. /lib/functions/mount.sh

sleep 15

config_load fstab
mkdir -p /var/lock
lock /var/lock/fstab.lck
[ -e /tmp/fstab ] || {
echo '# WARNING: this is an auto generated file, please use uci to set defined filesystems' > /tmp/fstab
}
lock -u /var/lock/fstab.lck
config_foreach do_swapon swap
config_foreach do_mount mount
config_foreach do_swapon swap # do swap a second time so that swap on filesystems is enabled
}

3. Succes!

Hope this helps other people. Thanks deathdealerXX.
