[TUTORIAL] Native Transmission on asuswrt routers through optware

[LUK]

You already installed wget-ssl, continue with the next step

Thanks for your feedback,

But when I tried to '/opt/etc/init.d/S95transmission start', it displays as attachment.

Actually, I connected new USB HDD before install, is it cause this problem?

ipkg install libiconv

Do you have RT-AC68 or RT-AC87?

Plz check attached result file. I have RT-AC68R.

Should be ok, restart router and go to 192.168.1.1:9091

Hi, friend.

I resolved this problem to do "factory reset". I think it is problem between old HDD with new HDD.

Thanks for your help.

SWAP FILE
If transmission crashes sometimes "without reason", most probably router goes out of memory and this can be fixed by creating a swap partition but it's a little bit to complicated for most users and we will create a swap file instead, 256MB is more than enough:
• cd /opt
• dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1024 count=262144
• mkswap swapfile
• chmod 0600 swapfile
• swapon swapfile
To enable swap file when router booting, add this lines to /jffs/scripts/post-mount script

#!/bin/sh

swapon /opt/swapfile

To unmount add this lines to /jffs/scripts/services-stop script

#!/bin/sh

swapoff /opt/swapfile

chmod a+rx /jffs/scripts/post-mount
chmod a+rx /jffs/scripts/services-stop

I've created the swap file but I'm not sure where to place the commands in the post-mount and services-stop script files. There's already script data in those files. see below for what already exists in each of those files and advise where in those scripts I can place the swapon and swapoff commands. Thanks

post-mount

#!/bin/sh

if [ $1 = "/tmp/mnt/sda1" ]
then
ln -sf $1/entware /tmp/opt
fi

services-stop

#!/bin/sh

/opt/etc/init.d/rc.unslung stop

How can I add a delay in post-mount script in order for the transmission-daemon to wait for USB mounting?
I'm keep getting these errors after cold boot related to ...no data is found. please add a disk...

Does anyone know how to reallocate transmission log files?

It writes way too much data into syslog making it unreadable.

I've searched around, it appears in "/opt/etc/init.d/S95transmission" there is mention of /opt/var/log? But it doesn't look like this constant is intend to be edited.

There are 4 log levels:
0 = no logging
1 = error messages only
2 = info & error messages
3 = debug i.e. all messages

I guess you have "3" enabled.

 

[wuyanxu]

I have not seen or edit anything relating to logging levels...... where can I change logging levels?

I would also like to not have transmission write to syslog.

I tried changing this but log still ends up in syslog.

#  DIR_LOG="/opt/var/log"                       
DIR_LOG="/mnt/dl/logs"

many thanks

I'm not sure you can change log path but you may decrease log level to 1
Stop transmission

/opt/etc/init.d/S95transmission stop

Edit settings.json

nano /opt/etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json

Change

"message-level": 3,

to

"message-level": 1,

Save and start transmission again

/opt/etc/init.d/S95transmission start

 

[wuyanxu]

thank you very much.

I had copied my settings.json file from my NAS, which seems to have set that setting to 2.

Post-mount is triggered only after usb disk are mounted, I think your problem is another.
Do you have another scripts maybe?
Post here output from:

mount
df
free
uname -a

All seams ok, you have 2 usb devices, try with only one, probably you need a script to mount devices by "uuid"

 

[thealphonso]

The thing is, I get this message only after reboot. I have to manually start all torrents and after that, until next reboot everything is OK
