MF591 SD Card Access

[sUbZeRo]

When I try to use the swap partition on the SD card in the MF591 the data partition gets mounted as /mnt/sdb1 but when sawp is set to 0 it mounts the data partition as /mnt/sda1. The same with the swap its either sda2(swap off) or sdb2(swap on). Has anyone been successful getting the SD card in the MF591 working with data and swap partitions?

I guess I should have mentioned this before. I read that post and tried that with the same results. I'm using a 16GB class 2 sd card so maybe its slow and needs a longer sleep. I will try that now. Also here is my fstab:

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

With sleep 15 it looks like below. and i see this in the log : 14:54:03 Pineapple kern.alert kernel: [ 176.440000] Write-error on swap-device (8:0:8)

I tired "sleep 25" and still got the same result :( I'm not sure what else to do other than to leave swap off.

After reading those posts i got this working by disabling them both in fstab and making my /etc/rc.local look like this..

wifi
hostapd_cli -p /var/run/hostapd-phy0 karma_disable
#Don't touch anything above this line


#Add your commands above this
/pineapple/3g/3g.sh
sleep 15
mount /dev/sda1 /usb
swapon /dev/sda2
exit 0

Glad you could get it working!

Thanks for your responses. Unfortunatly my pineapple still has terrible range. I dont know if i should order another or keep using my raspberry pi.. Only thing is the pi lacks the web interface.
