anyone is using netdisk nowadays?porting to kernel 4.x 5.x?

[rhermsen]

Was using it on a Fritzbox (a German made xDSL-router/home-gateway) with Freetz until a few years ago.

The last kernel versions for which a patch is available is some of the early 3.x kernels. They are listed here:
https://github.com/iocellnetworks/ndas4linux

One of the developers of Freetz made is work on also on big-endian devices (still only on early 3.x kernels):
https://github.com/Freetz/freetz/tree/master/make/ndas

[Sewie1]

Would there be a way to make it work on the newer kernels? Sewie

is there technical barrier in porting? such as linux kernel driver architecture changes?

[Sewie1]

I would not think there would be. I would love to see this through. Sewie

Is there technical barrier in porting?yes. first thing I met is Kbuild vs Makefile.
1.maybe linux kernel building changes. the makefile could not build .ko however the ndas-admin is ok. need I fix makefile?
2.what is different with ndas-cc-usermod(um) and ndas-cc?

[youxiaojie]

dear sewie, thanks for your replying, the iocellnetwork is dead, I thought nobody answer me, but you reply me anyway. thanks! are you in charge of this product?

[Sewie1]

I am not, unfortunately. I am still using NDAS in Windows 10. I know many have issues with it, however I found that most startup issues were when lpx was bound with adapters like Bluetooth or others (non wifi or wired) and cause a crash. I typically only mount when necessary, and once things are accessible it runs OK. I typically stick with read only too. I would think there are others here that may be more familiar whether it is impossible to make for a current version of the kernel. Sewie

it works in win10? can you share me with the drivers?

[Sewie1]

I think the latest version is 3.72.2080.1456. I can check my system once home and get back to you. I would like to get something working in Linux though. Louis

That is the version I had installed and is available on a few websites. Have you tried it?

Thanks! the biggest challenge is block driver part of it or maybe scsi also. the other part just fixed easily, most of it is the definition of function is changing, so fixed easily. the block changed a lot since 5.3, and I am not confident to port it successfully.
the other part I am sure. searching similar code and workaround in github, or analyses source code to find new function instead. it is not so complex . let me try but this part is most dangerous part in case of build failure.(maybe adding another source beyond me)

Thanks so much for looking into this! Sewie

Due to block device's driver transferred from single queue to multi-queue,blk-mq, which is beyond myself, so the porting maybe failed, I want to delay it first. the other part I have ported. the main part is block and scsi controller.

[youxiaojie]

damn 5.0 kernel, remove single queue support, even if you keep it for compatible and set multiqueue as default!
hopes other export will do it. thanks.
https://prog.world/linux-kernel-5-0-we-write-simple-block-device-under-blk-mq/
https://olegkutkov.me/2020/02/10/linux-block-device-driver/
this maybe helpful for block part, but scsi and proc part, I have no ideal

[Sewie1]

Okay thank you!
