    Hacking USB Loader - Multidisk USB devices

    All I have left to say at this point is good luck with that.

    Hacking USB Loader - Multidisk USB devices

    Haha, okay, I see. What he's doing here isn't safe. Most filesystems, including ext4 and FAT32, are not supposed to be mounted in more than one place at once, even if only one of those places is writing. You might get away with it but you're breaking the rules so you get to keep the pieces.

    Hacking USB Loader - Multidisk USB devices

    Okay but there won't be any writes, except when you initially install the games. I believe save data still goes onto the Wii NAND unless you use emuNAND? Come to think of it, none of this will work anyway because g_mass_storage expects a block device, not a filesystem. Sorry, I should have...

    Hacking USB Loader - Multidisk USB devices

    You seem to be confusing concepts. OverlayFS is a filesystem and LVM is for working with block devices. In either case, neither makes much difference to what the console sees. I put my Wii U "drive" in an LVM volume because it was convenient but it makes little difference in practise.

    Hacking USB Loader - Multidisk USB devices

    I've played with a Pi Zero W before, it's fun. I guess you're wanting to serve NFS from a desktop or something, otherwise you'd just connect a drive directly. It's a shame OTG is totally non-existent on the desktop, I don't know why that is. NFS won't work for Wii U games (unless you use...

    Hacking USB Loader - Multidisk USB devices

    I took another look at this in case it was any clearer a second time around. I still can't find any information about the IOCTLs like USB_IOCTL_UMS_READ_SECTORS and why this is totally different to usbstorage.c in libogc. Please could you explain why USB Loader has its own implementation? I'm...

    Hacking USB Loader - Multidisk USB devices

    No, they are presented as entirely separate drives and in many cases, they actually are entirely separate drives. USB can offer more than one endpoint per device. Smartphones can simultaneously offer a drive and ethernet, for example. LUNs are a SCSI concept and predate USB by a long way.

    Hacking USB Loader - Multidisk USB devices

    Necrobump! Did anything ever come of this? I've got an ARM-based Linux box sitting next to my Wii U and rather than waste a whole extra drive on the console, I decided to use USB OTG to offer up an LVM volume from the Linux box as a USB Mass Storage device. This is possibly a world first, I've...
