You can mount them with –bind or for some of them using -t. /mnt/array1 or /mnt/disk1 or /mnt/disk2 depending on how you set up your NAS.You can unpack them using ar and then unpack the file from within. I unpacked the latest Plex server in there and ran it using chroot. After downloading the packages (there were a few dependencies) I added some of the local binaries (like bash and the dev folder structure) to create a jailroot environment.
(Version 2.13) This way I didn’t have to compile my own version. Details of implementationįor the purpose of integrating Plex onto the Linkstation, I used a version of the EGLIBC library from the Debian repository. It strived to stay source and binary compatible with GLIBC and eventually the GNU community merged the whole project into GLIBC.
The EGLIBC project was another implementation based on the GLIBC project targetting embedded systems. For example the uClibC implementation is a much smaller implementation than the GNU glibc version which is a plus for embedded systems. The library is supposed to be compatible with the POSIX standard but different implementations do things differently. GLIBC stands for the GNU libc implementation of the C libraries which is maintained by the Free Software Foundation. In any other case you would be able to redirect your application to look for glibc in a different folder, so multiple versions of glibc could coexist. Adding insult to injury Plex Media Server is hard wired to look at the /lib folder for glibc first, which is the standard folder for system component libraries too. Although GLIBC versions are supposed to be backward compatible it’s much harder to test each and every feature of the NAS against the new glibc than somehow telling Plex to run against new versions. If you rip it out and replace it with a different version you might end up killing random applications on your NAS or even the kernel which also relies on GLIBC. The real issue is that you can’t just upgrade GLIBC as it is a core component of the linux system and all other applications use it. The Buffalo Linkstation uses GLIBC 2.5 hence when you try to run Plex on the NAS, it will fail. Starting with PMS v0.9.10.3 all versions require GLIBC 2.9 or above. This is a quick introduction on how I implemented Plex Media Server v0.9.11 on the Buffalo Linkstation Pro Duo. It is not meant to be a full description with step-by-step instructions but a summary of to-dos for developers.
