As i already wrote if you remount read only a reboot -f -n does the job nicely.

 

You can't really switch the root filesystem while you are fully running on it, but with single used mode and a read only mount the IO stops (and a ready only mount triggers also a sync), so you can write the flashfiles it while still running. But then you have to reboot instantly and without any filesystem flush to prevent corruption, but this is feasable. But is would not spend too much time on the scripts as I wrote above a single static binary would be better, believe me.

 

PS: For me it is not a few hours work, because i did all the work for my nfwrite binary already, it is ess the 1h to add the image and box detection

Done

[pieterg]

that was a very long hour though

[Lost in Space]

Do your just want just the binary or also a Plugin ?

 

And I don't have such boxes, so it needs some testing from users of such boxes too ...

Now I integrated gutemine's Flash Gordon (over fgwrite) on MQB:

 

		<content>
			<name>restore Vu Image PLIfull -as script</name>
			<module>Screens.Console</module>
			<screen><![CDATA[Console, "restore Vu Image PLIfull", ["/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/FG/bin/fgwrite /media/hdd/backup/IMAGENAME/vuplus/solo2"]]]></screen>
		</content>

 

 

Example.

After important changes/updates I have to backup the flash image. I use Pedro_Newbie's 'BackupSuite' (Full back-up on HDD/USB) which creates 'vuplus' backups in /media/hdd/fullbackup_solo2/DATE_TIME. Then, using 'DreamExplorer' I copy (overwriting) the content of 'vuplus' from /media/hdd/fullbackup_solo2/DATE_TIME/ to /media/hdd/backup/IMAGENAME/.

All this operations can be made over GUI.

 

So I can "switch" my backup images (PLi, VTi, ViX and BH) over MQB  

[rtzhjgg0]

There is a second script by scope34 (_backup.sh) which can create image backups on Vu boxes. I adapted it to my needs. The original creates every time a new dated folder. I changed it to overwrite existing backup in /media/hdd/backup/

 

Concretely I use now 4 of this scripts - one for each image/folder (PLIfull, VTIfull, VIXfull and BHfull).

 

The difference between Pedro_Newbie's 'BackupSuite' and and this one is the same: BackupSuite creates every time a new dated folder in 'fullbackup_solo2', this one overwrites existing backup in /media/hdd/backup/.

Je zou kunnen overwegen om het script wat in te korten, je zou de regels 70 t/m 124 kunnen vervangen door

DIRECTORY=/media/hdd/backup
MTDBOOT=2
MTDROOT=0
MTDKERNEL=1
ROOTFSNAME="root_cfe_auto.jffs2"
BOXTYPE=vuplus
OPTIONS="--eraseblock=0x20000 -n -l"
UBINIZEARGS="-m 2048 -p 128KiB"
MKUBIFSARGS="-m 2048 -e 126976 -c 4096 -F"
STB=$( cat /proc/stb/info/vumodel )
DEFAULTDIRECTORYSHORT=$BOXTYPE/$STB
 
if [ $STB = "solo2" ] || [ $STB = "duo2" ] ; then
    ROOTFSNAME="root_cfe_auto.bin"
    MTDKERNEL=2
    MKUBIFSARGS="-m 2048 -e 126976 -c 4096"
fi

 

Dan blijft er dus over de regels 70 - 86

Sorry I answered in Dutch, forgot it was the English section.

In short: You can shorten the script by replacing the lines 70-124 by the shown code above leaving the lines 70-86

Thanks for shorting it
