Using NGW100′s Root FS & WGET to Load /usr FS

  1. Get booted all the way into the root filesystem on the NGW100.
  2. Run ps at the root prompt. You will be shown a list of all running processes on the NGW100.
  3. We must kill all processes running from /usr. Here is the command I used: killall dnsmasq telnetd inetd httpd dropbear nmbd
  4. Now issue umount /usr to unmount the partition. If it fails, you still have something running for the /usr partition. Check ps.
  5. Now we erase the /usr partition, otherwise known as /dev/mtd3 by issuing flash_eraseall /dev/mtd3.
  6. Once that is finished, we need to make sure we are in root (/) directory. Run cd ~ just to make sure.
  7. Now we download the usr image with

  1. [...] That wasn’t too difficult. Next we will use WGET to load the /usr filesystem. [...]
