Change Details
| ben-back/README |
|---|
| 1 | ben-back will be a script to back up both user data and settings |
| 2 | on a Ben NanoNote. |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Goals: |
| 5 | back-up /root directory - this will save most programs settings |
| 6 | back-up /data or other internal data partition |
| 7 | back-up user specified directories |
| 8 | |
| 9 | save system information related to: |
| 10 | timezone |
| 11 | automounts |
| 12 | internal data partition |
| 13 | user specified files (advanced option) |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Save backup to: |
| 16 | uSD card |
| 17 | ssh location (scp,sftp,sshfs) |
| 18 | ftp location |
| 19 | rsync? |
| 20 | |
| 21 | notes: |
| 22 | symlinks should be saved as links not dereferenced |
| 23 | must only use programs on stock NanoNote |
| 24 | |
| ben-media-burst/README |
|---|
| 1 | ben-media-busrt will consist of several scripts that live on the |
| 2 | Computer to which the NanoNote is regularly docked. |
| 3 | |
| 4 | one script will act as a cron job monitoring defined folders |
| 5 | and automatically converting media dropped into them into |
| 6 | NanoNote friendly formats. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | script two will be launched manually and will sync the defined |
| 9 | folders over to the NanoNote. A config file will provide |
| 10 | local -> NanoNote mappings |
| 11 | |
| 12 | notes: |
| 13 | Use of rsync would be good to reduce bandwidth. |
| 14 | Have option to remove files frrom nanonote that are |
| 15 | not in PCs folders. |
| 16 | look into auto launching with udev rule |
| 17 | - would be cool if we could pop up a proceed yes/no |
| 18 | alert on the nanonote before begining the transfer |
| 19 | |
| ben-restore/README |
|---|
| 1 | ben-restore will be a script to restore files/settings saved with ben-back |
| 2 | |
| 3 | goals |
| 4 | return all user data to it's proper place |
| 5 | restore timezone if saved |
| 6 | restore internal data partition if config info saved |
| 7 | restore use data to internal data partition |
| 8 | restore custom files/settings specified by user (advanced option) |
| 9 | restore from ftp, ssh (scp,sftp,sshfs), uSD |
| 10 | show progress (detailed or meter) |
| 11 | |
| ben-set-up/README |
|---|
| 1 | ben-set-up will be the.. |
| 2 | "one script to rule them all and in the nanonote bind them.." |
| 3 | So, Tolkien referencees aside, this will be the main "Help me |
| 4 | set-up my NanoNote" script. |
| 5 | |
| 6 | It will do several things: |
| 7 | 1. run at boot and check a flag file |
| 8 | if first boot see if user want to restore from backed-up settings |
| 9 | if not does the user want a default data partition created |
| 10 | does the user want to mount a uSD card at boot |
| 11 | Set timezone, set flag file to continue time set up, |
| 12 | reboot, read flag file run ben-time-set |
| 13 | to finish setting time (clearly we need a skip the timezone switch) |
| 14 | if yes to restore, preform necessary tasks to get to restore data |
| 15 | i.e. mount uSD, ssh/ftp/etc to host |
| 16 | grab the settings for timezone,and data partitions, |
| 17 | automounts. |
| 18 | set those up. Change flag file to continue restore |
| 19 | reboot. read flag file. continue restore. |
| 20 | if all goes well set flag file to all done |
| 21 | |
| 22 | 2. if run manually don't check flag file (unless instructed to (flag)) |
| 23 | instead provide a menu with options to: |
| 24 | set timezone |
| 25 | set time |
| 26 | set-up data partition |
| 27 | set up auto mounts |
| 28 | back-up system |
| 29 | restore from backup |
| 30 | etc |
| 31 | |
| ben-storage/README |
|---|
| 1 | ben-storage will give users a menu guided way to set up the internal storage partition. |
| 2 | |
| 3 | Goals: |
| 4 | by default will only ask for the mount point (with /data suggested |
| 5 | as the default) and will then determine available space and create |
| 6 | a partition using all available nand. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | will have commandline options and advacned menus to: |
| 9 | restore the partition from a saved config (mount point,siz,etc) |
| 10 | manually configure the partition to desired: |
| 11 | start, end, size, type, mount point |
| 12 | Save the current configuration of the storage partition/s to a config |
| 13 | file for later use (say, after a reflash). |
