Hi bodhi, First, I need to say this kernel patch stuff is way above my knowledge. Most of what you replied is also over my head. Is NDA non disclosure agreement? If this is the case, I am amazed by the lengths a company will go to to guarantee income from non value related stuff. My Google-fu says Oxford Semi was bought by PLX Technology in 2009, who is currently owned by Broadcom. And ARMby JeffS - Off-Topic
bodhi, Are there any existing oxnas xhci Linux patches to try that are not already in kernel? I did a oxnas xhci search and came up with a few hits. Is it possible for this hardware to contain bugs / problems, or is this more a documentation issue? I recall reading something about problems with the implementation of dual processors or related issues. Just curious and trying to get a betterby JeffS - Off-Topic
Joey, you might try using chown if you think there may be permission issues. chown is used to change the owner of files and directories. Example: chown -R joey /mnt/media change owner, recursively, from root to joey, filepath= root, mnt, media The recursive option means media and everything under it is changed from root to joey. This also assumes you have set up a user other thanby JeffS - Off-Topic
Hey Bodhi and Joey, Does this device use the Renesas uPD720202 chipset? It says "based on". Isn't the driver available in kernel for this for x86? Is there an ARM specific version or do you have to recompile it from source? Have you guys ID'd the new hardware in dmesg yet? Joey, without reading all the details so far on everything, have you ran or tried running # lsblk aby JeffS - Off-Topic
Hey Joey, bodhi, Just wanted to pop in and check things out, wow some awesome stuff going on here guys. I've got a new v3 pro still in the box. It's just waiting for me to get some free time! Back to work (wage slave) and nursing a cold = lots of nap time for me lately. I hope to regain more energy moving forward so I can get involved in this stuff again.by JeffS - Off-Topic
OK and thanks for your patience bodhi, Not being familiar with Debian package management and kernel installation is causing much confusion on my end. I really need to spend some time familiarizing myself with it and understanding the commands rather than just copy paste.

Hi bodhi, Yes the system is up and running with a working network connection. It seems the issue may be with DHCPDISCOVER. I have not looked into my router settings but it might have a setting that is not getting along well with DHCP in Debian. It's really not a big deal, it just takes a little extra time during booting up. I'll look into it more and report back if I come up with anyby JeffS - Debian
Hi Bodhi, First thing, Thanks for all your work Bohdi! Without it, we'd no longer be able to enjoy our Pogo's. My Pogo v3 Debian system running on a hdd became very unstable after running very well for over a month. I had it set up and just left it basically idling 24-7 next to my other Pogo's. I noticed it was no longer available on my local network after I read the post abby JeffS - Debian
Thanks bodhi, I'll give it a shot and work with you with testing, feedback, etc. if you have time. Do you currently have a printer and if so, whats your setup? I hate to admit it, but printers on Windows were much easier to setup and more reliable than on Linux, for me anyway. With that said, it's all about Linux driver quality (or lack of) and I believe API stability (remainiby JeffS - Off-Topic
I've been thinking about this very subject for some time now. Just never got around to it. Keeping a USB printer working has proven the most challenging aspect of running Arch for me.

Habibie, that pic of the cable routing looks like a really sanitary way of mounting it. Do you have it installed yet? Can you put up a pic from the outside? I did a notch in one side for clearance, for of a long 90 degree internal SATA cable. I like the idea of a female eSATA socket mounted on the pogo.by JeffS - Off-Topic

Pretty much what Joey said, with a few clarifications. It looks like a remote mount adaptor to go from PCI Express ×1 to PCI Express ×16. Used for I dunno?

I duplicated this test procedure, http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,28829 except I'm not using samba, for benchmarking my pogo v4 mobile. I agree with the referenced post, for benchmark numbers to be meaningful for comparison purposes, the same procedure should be followed. I ran this several times, and came up with VERY close numbers. That seems to indicate a sound, repeatable process.by JeffS - Off-Topic
You have a good point I had really not thought about with that bodhi. I'd honestly be scared to store any entertainment media (music and movies) on the "cloud" for fear of potential issues....

It just might just cost more if it becomes really uncommon and low volume production.by JeffS - Off-Topic

I've put trying to speed up sftp and scp, which utilize ssh, on the back burner fo now. I read, "If you want fast network file transfers, don't use ssh". The fact is, ssh, or secure shell, was designed to be secure, not fast.

OK, I got the encryption hardware working in Arch, but have not been able to connect via scp when using it from the command line of my x86 desktop.
