I use this version "DD-WRT v24-sp1 (07/27/0 mega - build 10012"
Step 1 - OK
I have the HD 500G, I use gParted to format
Partition one: 2Gb - ext3 as the format
Partition two: 2Gb - format it as linux swap file
Partition three: FAT32 as the format
Step 2 - OK
Step 3 - I think OK, I see the same information on the page.
Step 4
I use this:
mount /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /opt
mount /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3 /mmc
Step 5 - I try option a and b and 5.1, I do not know what is ok.

First off, I suggest upgrading from SP1. As everyone else will tell you, bugs bugs bugs. Find the TNG versions and use svn 11028. I'm not having to use any gpio tricks to get usb 2.0 working. I'm using mini with usb, but you can use the mega. Your choice...
Unless you plan on removing the drive from the router and connecting it to a windows machine I strongly suggest changing the third partition to ext3. Also, you really don't need a 2GB swap partition and 2GB /opt partition. I have my swap at 512MB and probably use a total of 4MB at the most. But I think 512MB is the smallest you can go. I have 1GB /opt partition, even this I think is a little overkill. I probably use a total of 15MB. (Samba rsync, P910nd, nano, busybox, and e2fsprogs installed).
For my startup script, I used the jffs to store it. That way I can install openwrt's swap-utils and e2fsprogs so I can check the HD's partitions health, treat it, and mount the swap with out mounting any HD partitions. You never want to run e2fsck or fstune on a mounted partition, so this sounded like the most logical solution to use the jffs.
When you mount, cd over to that directory and run "ls" with out the qoutes. You should a folder called "lost+found". If you do, then the partitions mounted correctly.
With installing optware, I did it a little differnt. I cd over to the temp folder, ran "wget http://www.3iii.dk/linux/optware/optware-install-ddwrt.sh" and then I ran "sh optware-install-ddwrt.sh" both with out qoutes again. For me it was hit or miss on getting what they had in the wiki running.
Before I continue, lets make sure that you are able to get this far. I'm sort on time right now, so I'll come back and finish after we get you this far. The rest is basicly getting your startup scripts to make things start automaticly when you reboot the router, editing the profile so we shutdown cleanly, and installing the optware packages that you want.

Okay, I'd figure I'd post my scripts that I am using. You'll need to modify them to your installation, since I have different partitions mounting in different places and I'm running software that you might not install.
My main startup script. In the GUI I tell dd-wrt to load this script and this script only. I recommend installing e2fsprogs and swap-utils using dd-wrt's built in ipkg system. This will save it to the jffs partition that way we are not dependent on the HD. (Plus, should never run e2fsck on a mounted partition and if e2fsck is installed on said partition... You get the point).
http://downloads.betaserver.org/ddwrt/scripts/begin-here.startup
After that script detects the drive, runs tune2fs, and mounts the partitions, It calls for this script. I placed it on the HDD so I don't do any unnecessary writing to jffs when I'm tinkering with things.
http://downloads.betaserver.org/ddwrt/scripts/boot.startup
The default profile in ddwrt is not optware\removable HD friendly. This on is, I recommending to save it to /opt/etc. The boot script above will replace the default on with this one.
http://downloads.betaserver.org/ddwrt/scripts/profile
Since, I do not run e2fsck on every boot. I have a script to unmount the partitions and run e2fsck. I'm working on a script that will automatically run this when the mount count has reached it's max.
http://downloads.betaserver.org/ddwrt/scripts/hdd-check.sh
Like I said, you'll might have to modify the scripts to your installation. You can place all but the begin-here.startup and hdd-check.sh scripts anywhere you want, just make sure you change to locations of the scripts being called in the boot.startup script
I have a question about some of the commands you (kjbuente) use in your scripts.
Like "tune2fs", "swapon"
It seems like they come from somewhere else. Where did you load them from?
I format again HD
Partition 1 - 1,95G - EXT3
Partition 2 - 996,22M - Linus-Swap
Partition 3 - 462,82G - FAT32
I use this this in Windows network for share my files and my Media center, I undetend need use the FAT32
its ok ??

@MrAlvin
Yes, You have to install openwrts e2fsprogs and swap-utils. You can do this but running "/bin/ipkg update" followed by "/bin/ipkg install e2fsprogs swap-utils" This is not optware, they will install in the jffs folder.
@emersonvier
Yes, you have the newest version it is what you want. If you are just going to share partition three though the network, you want to use Ext3. Windows only needs it as FAT32/NTFS if the hard drive will be connected to a windows machine though the usb connector physically to the computer. If it is going though the router (Like what I am doing, and sounds like what you are wanting to do) then you want to use Ext3. There are two big reasons why. One, it is not limited to 2GB file sizes. Two, it is a journalised file system. Meaning it is easier to fix error on the hard drive and recover your data.
Now, enable Jffs2 in your router. The wiki has instructions on doing so. Once you have it enabled and have free space, you want to install some optware packages. You want to run with out the qoutes "/bin/ipkg update" "/bin/ipkg install e2fsprogs swap-utils". You might have to reboot the router to get these to install after you enabled jffs, I know that I had to.
Then copy begin-here.startup and hdd-check.sh into the jffs folder. Now, I have my partition 3 mounting to /mnt instead of /mmc. You can either change the script to mount to /mmc, or you can use /mnt instead. If you decided to keep /mmc instead of /mnt, then you need to change were it calls the next script from /mnt/scripts/boot.startup to /mmc/scripts/boot.startup. You WILL have to edit the scripts to change the partitions. I have parition 1 as swap, were yours is partition 2. Nothing wrong with that, it's just how I did it. Just look for were it is mounting /opt and change the "part2" to "part1". One this is edited to your needs, go ahead and run the script by (with out qoutes) "sh /jffs/begin-here.startup"
Now, were ever you mounted the third partition. Change directory to get there and create three directories, do so by running with out qoutes "mkdir scripts" "mkdir logs" "mkdir share". Scripts is were we are going to store the rest of the scripts, logs is just for trouble shooting the scripts, and share is what your actually going to share to the network.
Now change directory to scripts, and copy boot.start, firewall.sh, and optware-install.sh (ad-block.sh is broken so don't bother with it). Now lets install optware. Run with out qoutes "sh optware-install.sh". You should see some text scroll though the screen and then report that it was successful. To make sure change directory to /opt and type with out qoutes "ls". You should see some folders in there like etc,bin,sbin,and usr.
Let me know when you get this far.

Now you said that you edited the script. Did you also change were you are going to mount the third partition? Or do you want it to mount to /mnt? If you want to change it, do so now.
After that is said and done. I relised that I skipped a step. You are probably going to have to run "chmod +x /jffs/begin-here.startup" so the script will run.
Once this is done, my previous post says what to do...

I only modified the part1 to part2 a reverse

Oh cool, I did not understand that you got all that done.
I am assuming that the optware-install.sh script went okay and had no error. All the other scripts that you downloaded, you might have to run "chmod +x" on them to execute.
Okay, now copy (using wget) the profile that I linked above to /opt/etc.
Then in the command section of the webgui (under administration), you want to enter sh /jffs/begin-here.startup and save it as a startup script.
Now you should be able to run "/opt/bin/ipkg-opt update" "/opt/bin/ipkg-opt install xinetd samba2"
Were isntalling samba2 since the newest version is just to much for the router. You should be able to reboot the router now and it should run the scripts for us automaticly now. Try pointing you web browser to http://192.168.1.1:901
You should be prompted for the router username and password, enter it and it should load a page titled SWAT
If you get this far let me know. I'm running short on time again so I'll be back soon with more...

I need run all scripts after each download eg:

Were you able to get the page to load and did it ask you for a username and password? If so now all we have to do is configure SWAT to configure the share.
Just go to shares, and then create a new share. Call it media or something that you want to call it. For the path, you want to point it to /mnt/share. There are two drop down option just below were you enter the path for the share. You want to set read only to no, and quests to yes.
Now, you should be able to see the share from your windows machine. If so, then your all set!
If not, please attach the output of /tmp/usb.log and any logs in /mnt/logs.
