| - | -hier sollte man sich die autorun.key-Datei herunterladen. Diese enthält den Hash-Wert des Passworts, mit dem man sich auf dem Router angemeldet hat; sie ist also notwendig, um den Besitzer des USB-Sticks als zum Ausführen von Aktionen berechtigt zu identifizieren. | ||

| - | :!: FAT16 oder FAT32 | + | Next, go to "Autorun" and again set the Administrative status on "enabled". Also, download the "autorun.key" file from this site. |
| + | {{ :virtualisation:usb_2.png?nolink&600 |}} | ||
| + | This file contains the hash values of the password the user uses to login to the router. So this file is necessary automatically run actions with root level access. | ||
| + | |||
| + | In the next step you have to create the "autorun.sh" file. This file contains the tasks which are run when the stick is plugged into the router. To create this file under windows, open the Editor, create a new file and fill it with the code you want it to run. Then, go to "Save As", enter "autorun.sh" under "File Name" and make sure you choose "All Files" under "Save as type". Also, make sure u select "UTF-8" in the Encoding drop-down menu. Now click on "Save" to save the file. | ||

| + | In this example, files located in folders on the stick (Video-trans, Audio-trans, Bilder-trans) are copied to folders inside of the LXC Container (/home/Media/Videos Bilder Musik). Existing files are being ignored. The /mnt/media/autorun path is the path where the USB stick is mounted to; be aware that this path is not changeable. | ||

| </konsole> | </konsole> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Now format an USB stick to the FAT16 oder FAT32 file format. Copy to it the "autorun.key" file together with the "autorun.sh" file and the files/folders you want to transfer. | ||
