NTFS after kernel mod

Post by yankrlangas »

Has anyone tried to enable the ntfs reading? I would like to try it but I dont have a logitech revue to take the files form it. If anyone have the files it would be nice if you can share it.

I too would like to know how to add NTFS to my rooted GTV. Being limited to 4 gig files is bumming me out a bit. Any help would be appreciated by many, as well as myself. :)

so I had to create the /bin directory in /usr/local

#mkdir bin

then I adb pushed everything
then i set permissions
then i created the symlinks... had to do it in adb shell.

rebooted and it still doesnt work... what am i doing wrong.... btw changed the line in the vold.fstab file as well.

trying to get gtv player to recognize the usb drive... but i keep refreshing shares so its not working.

buggin64,

It looks like wonger was in adb shell, which is why there is a # instead of a $.

After you are connected to your GTV (adb connect ip address)
Type "adb shell" (without quotations)
That should give you the # prompt and you should be in the root directory.
Next you can change directories "cd usr" and then "cd local"
Then try "mkdir bin" (however, I would check to see if the directory is there first using "ls" while in the local directory)

Useful commands while you're in shell:
"cd" to change directories
"cd .." to go up a level
"ls" (lowercase LS) will list the files and folders in a directory
"pwd" will tell you where you are in the directory tree

The file was called vold.conf in previous android releases, but is now vold.fstab in 3.2

So the command is:

adb pull /etc/vold.fstab vold.fstab

That will copy the file to whatever directory your adb is in. Then you just do the edit and push it back the same way.

There's a little more information in this thread I posted when I was having some trouble:

Good luck.
