RUT955 USB Tools
Summary
This chapter is an overview of the USB Tools service in RUT955 routers.
The Network Shares section is used to manage Network-attached storage (NAS) such as USB drives, SD cards and hard drives. The router supports the following file system architectures:
- FAT32*
- NTFS**
* supports SD cards with a capacity of up to 32 GB
** NTFS support available from FW version RUT9XX_R_00.05.02 and newer
Mounted File Systems
The Mounted File Systems tab displays information on mounted USB drives and SD cards. To view an attached drive, connect it to the router and click the Refresh button:
| field name | description |
|---|---|
| Filesystem | Name of the Linux filesystem. For better clarity, lets take a closer look at the filesystem name from the example above:
* SD cards will be identified as MultiMediaCard (MMC) devices and the identifier will begin with the mmcblk string instead of sd |
| Mount Point | A mount point is a directory in the currently accessible filesystem on which an additional filesystem is mounted (i.e., logically attached). The /mnt directory and its subdirectories are intended for use as the temporary mount points for mounting storage devices. The mount point becomes the root directory of the newly added filesystem, and that filesystem becomes accessible from that directory |
| Available | Amount of available memory in the mounted drive. This column also displays the total capacity of the drive |
| Used | Amount of used memory in the mounted drive |
| Safely Remove Disk | Unmounts the drive so that it becomes safe to disconnect from the router |
SSH commands
Devices can be mounted or unmounted manually by using SSH commands.
The mount command can attach a filesystem to the file tree. The basic syntax for the command is:
mount -t type device dir
Where:
- -t - the filesystem type. If this value is omitted, the command will try to determine the type automatically
- device -
- dir -
