One thing to try is to copy the file to your internal HDD in stead of the usb device:

1. cd /tmp/
2. wget tinyurl.com/createhdd
3. chmod a+x create_hdd_region.sh
4. ./create_hdd_region.sh auto

Other thing to try is to unmount the usb device and mount it with read/write privileges maybe ...

Cool, i will try it from other device. Just to ask wget is to down load the script online? How to mount my usb with write access?

If you have the PS3 wired connected it will work...

Otherwise copy it to /tmp with the "cp" command ?

@xerxesrex busybox mounts stuff read only...

you can run it using without the need to chmod by directly calling the interpreter:
sh "script_name.sh" <- without the "

or:
copy the script from the usb thingy to '/' or '/tmp' then chmod and run

PS: oh If you mount your usb with rw access and it is formated in fat or ntfs you can't chmod the file since these fs are not posix compliant.

if that is the case, how should i get my fs to be posix compliance? mine is a fat fs. iirc ntfs is posix compliance :o

going to try it now. thanks mate

changing a flash drive to other thing than FAT32 is a bad idea in terms of compatibility...

good luck! any doubts feel free to ask!

i think i am close to it.

from the root directory, downloaded createhdd from tinyurl, run using:
sh create_region_hdd.sh

the output as follow:
number of storage devices 4
searching for disk storage device..
found disk storage device
device index 3
device id xxxxxxxx
number of regions 3
total number of blocks xxxxxx
last region start sector xxxxxx
last region sector count xxxxx
number of free sectors xxxxx
creating new storeage region (xxxxxxx,xxxxxx)
new storage region id xxxxxxx


u guys rock!
