Here you have some Tutorials and faq

[FAQ] Install E2 on a DOM replaced with a SD or CF adaptor

Code:
SDHC / SD adaptor or CD adaptor doesn't like at all the partition change!

[B]So when you use such device ALWAYS do this:[/B]
- start the upgrade / downgrade procedure and finish it.
- Power OFF / Power ON your Azbox (not a reboot, the DOM needs to reinitialised and a reboot doesn't do it!!!)
- Start again the same flashing (this time the partition will already be created, so the file copy will work properly).

Then you won't have problem, otherwise for sure the file copy procedure gets corrupted.

Ideally Azup.exe should ask to power off / power on after it change the partition, before starting to copy the new files.

This works fine with a true DOM (original or Transcend one) but not at all with the SD(HC) or CF adaptor.

In the adaptor it is clearly mentioned that the card is not hot swappable, but it seems that for this kind of adaptor, the fact to change the partition is like if you swap disk!


[TUTO] How to mount a NFS shared directory

Code:
If you have somewhere on your network a shared folder using NFS, you can mount it on your Azbox.
NFS is the standard Linux/Unix sharing method.

In windows world they use CIFS, so don't confuse NFS and CIFS.
[CODE]mount -t nfs IP_server:/share_server /where_you_want_on_Azbox_local_directory -o rw,nolock,intr,udp
IP_server = IP address of your server (example: 192.168.1.100)
/share_server = the NFS share that you create on your server (example: /Media)
/where_you_want_on_Azbox_local_directory = the mount point in your E2 Azbox (example: /media/MyServer)

For example:

We will create on the E2 Azbox a folder /media/MyServer where we will mount a share called Media on a server with IP: 192.168.1.100

In telnet on your E2 Azbox:
Code:
mkdir /media/MyServer
mount -t nfs 192.168.100:/Media /media/MyServer -o rw,nolock,intr,udp
To automount at each reboot your share please add the command line at the end of the: /etc/init.d/rcS file[/CODE]

[TUTO] Auto-mount internal HDD with E2 image

[TUTO] Auto-mount internal HDD with E2 image

To automatically mount your Premium internal HDD please:

Edit file: /etc/fstab with an editor valid for Linux/Unix (so please don't use Windows Notepad but you can use Notepad++).

and replace the line:
/dev/sda1 /media/hdd auto defaults 0 0

with
/dev/hdb1 /media/hdd auto defaults 0 0

For people that prefer not to edit a config file, copy the fstab.tgz into the /tmp directory of your Azbox and connect with telnet and type:
cd /
tar -xvzf /tmp/fstab.tgz
sync
shutdown -r now

[TUTO] - Mount cifs share to a Windows PC

[TUTO] - Mount cifs share to a Windows PC

This info was taken from onzifonzi . So thanks onzifonzi!

Here is syntax for mount windows share:
mount -t cifs \\\\IPofWINDOWS\\sharename /media/net -o username=user,password=password

\\\\ 4 backslash's are needed (backslash means that a special character is coming)
IPofWINDOWS = The IP address of the windows PC you want to connect to. It's better to set a static IP for your windows PC because linux isn't too good at using Windows computer names.
\\ 2 backslash's are needed
sharename = The share that you have shared out of your Windows PC.
/media/net = The location that the mount will be accessed.

Example
Make the new directory in media by

mkdir /media/movies

To mount the share
mount -t cifs \\\\192.168.0.8\\movie /media/movies -o username=roger,password=creamcake
My real password contained a special character a dollar sign $ eg pas$word and I was getting permission denied each time.
The way to fix this is by using a backslash \ So it worked when I used pas\$word

Also (taken from the nfs tutorial)
To automount at each reboot your share please add the command line at the end of the: /etc/init.d/rcS file
