Yes, you can boot from any partition, providing the u-boot env is set correctly to boot that specific partition. The device in ext2load command to load uImage, and the root parameter to the kernel. Those 2 envs are where you would specify the info.

I couldn't find much from fw_printenv. I have no idea what I can modify here
What if I change here from SDA1 to SDA2? Would it work?
usb_boot=mw 0x800000 0 1; ext2load usb $usb_device 0x800000 /boot/uImage; if ext2load usb $usb_device 0x1100000 /boot/uInitrd; then bootm 0x800000 0x1100000; else boot
What if I change here from SDA1 to SDA2? Would it work?
usb_scan=usb_scan_done=0;for scan in $usb_scan_list; do run usb_scan_$scan; if test $usb_scan_done -eq 0 && ext2load usb $usb 0x800000 /boot/uImage 1; then usb_scan_do ne=1; echo "Found bootable drive on usb $usb"; setenv usb_device $usb; setenv usb_root /dev/$dev; fi; done usb_scan_1=usb=0:1 dev=sda1 usb_scan_2=usb=1:1 dev=sdb1 usb_scan_3=usb=2:1 dev=sdc1 usb_scan_4=usb=3:1 dev=sdd1

@Almaz,
First, do you have 1 partition where your rootfs resides and no separate /boot partition? and do you have only one disk or multiple disks?
What ever partition that contains /boot/uImage is the device being detected by usb_scan. If /boot is the 1st partition in the 1st disk then usb_device is 0:1 (if there is only one device).
So if you change the /boot to sda2 then usb_device will be detected as 0:2.
Rootfs is a different issue altogether, to ensure it is selected as rootfs, no matter how the disks were enumerated, then label it "rootfs" and define env (usb_root must be in the bootargs):
If you're not sure. Then list your u-boot env, how nay disks, how many partitions, and where is the rootfs, here and I'll show you how to set them. It does not matter what letter being assigned to partition during boot, we'll just need to script them in a foolproof way.

BTW, I'm creating a new scan script that will be a little bit more resilient for multiple disks types. I was planning include it in the default envs for the next u-boot release.

I'm using main rootfs on a physical drive as a daily server and a second usb stick rootfs for compiling only. Usb stick for compiling doesn't have enough capacity to load all the apps. I need somehow extend it. Since I'm using the main rootfs on a physical drive, I'd like to create a second partition and to be able to boot from one partition or another one. Another option to setup VmWare with toolchain for PogoPlug but I didn't find a good tutorial how to properly cross compile for pogoplug. If you have any better suggestions, please let me know.

Thanks bodhi, as usual you are the first to help and always hit the target :). I just tried with a second usb. I put rootfs in second partition and changed uboot to fw_setenv usb_scan_2 usb=1:2 dev=sdb2 and it booted up. It looks like I can install rootfs on second partition of a primary hard drive. I should be able to switch OS with

Cool!
However, one more thing to keep in mind is: If you have multiple drives plugged in, then the boot drive is not guarantee to be 0: it could be 1:, because the way the Pogo E02 starts the drives, whichever come up first will be 0:, then 1:, … so on.
A very good way (but not foolproof) is to plug that boot drive into the USB port right next to the Ethernet port. All things equal (speed,…), that USB will get to be device 0:
So as I've mentioned above, the ultimate solution is to use a better mechanism to do this so that it does not matter about what brand, speed,… the drives are. We will have that in the next u-boot release.

boot from raid (only mirror - raid1) is possible from uboot.
Confirmed working for my Lacie NS2MAX unit:
https://github.com/davidedg/NAS-NS2MAX-mod/blob/master/install/install-on-hdd_mdadm.txt#L61
Basically, you create a small md volume for /boot, with the old metadata format (0.90), which means that fs can look almost like a normal fs to u-boot, being able to read from that the kernel.
You can create other MD volumes (for / or data volumes) with recent metadata format, or even use lvm then.
I don't think lvm can be used for /boot, though.

Kernel 3.17.0-kirkwood-tld-1 package was uploaded. Please see 1st post for download link.
This is the first FDT kernel in my continuing release series for Debian Kirkwood boxex. So please read the new installation instruction even though you've installed these kernels before and familiar with the installation.

jst818,
Which rootfs are you running?
If it is not in your current rootfs, install with:
apt-get u-boot-tools

@robert,
Please refrain from changing the subject of this thread. It's a kernel release thread.
The reason your SATA boot failed was because you have not adapted the DTB booting syntax (the instruction is for USB) in to your SATA boot commands. I will respond in detail in your new thread when I have time to post again (if you have not solved it by then).

Hi Bodhi-
I am on a Pogoplug V4, which has been successfully running Debian or Arch according to your and Quis previous instructions.
I have attempted to make a new ROOTFS with the new kernel 3.17. I followed all of your instructions, but I am unable to get the SD card to boot the file system. I am getting both the green and the red LED lit up at the same time and hanging there.
Do you have any advice, or is this not enough information to help?
Thanks
Peter

@Peter,
It's best to trouble shoot this with netconsole or serial console. However, if you post the log of what you did, usually we can spot a wrong setting some where.
Both green and red LED is orange LED. It means that u-boot did not find one of the 3 kernel files that it tried to load (depending how you set the envs). In this case, probaly the envs were not set properly. So check your rootfs first, if these files are there, then problem is probably with u-boot envs.

You can find some performance figures for different OS für Zyxel NSA325v2:http://www.zyxelforum.de/openmediavault-1-0-ist-da%C7%83-anleitung-zum-installieren--t7787s27.html. It seams to depend on the OS or optimization of its kernel which throughput can be reached. Archlinux and Freenas seam to deliver very good speed but Openmediavault is less than half of this speed. What throughput can be reached with the Debian Kernel on the Zyxel NSA325v2? Could it be improved if the same or similar optimizations are used for the Debian kernel?

I'm not sure what optimization done were done on Arch and FreeNAS. Do you have some benchmarks that indicate there are differences in performance between Debian & Arch?

I'm running Debian and more than happy with performance. I don't know where you got your info but without benchmarks, it's nonsense. Everything is running here at max speed from what I can see.

I'm using usb drive with PogoPlug E02. You can't get higher speed than that because it's USB limitation. I don't use NFS so can't comment on it.
Samba
write to PogoPlug = 27-28 MB/s
read from PogoPlug = 29 MB/s

I don't know where you got that info but no physical hard drive can achieve that kind of speed. Just maybe the most expensive ones but I've never seen one yet. From zyxel you should expect 37MB/s Here are some benchmarks http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/storage/2012/01/25/zyxel-nsa310-review/2

If you look at my comparision of device performance at http://pogoplug.square7.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=13#p75 you will see that you don't reach the highest possible speed with your Pogoplug E02. Moreover you can see that the Goflex Net device can read data from harddrive with 100MB/s from a 2.5" harddisk but reaches just 32MB/s Samba troughput and that this speed limitation doesn't depend on the network or drive speed. The kernel and system configuration seams to have a high impact on the reachable speed. Please regard, that 4TB harddrives with 7200 rpm can reach up to 180MB/s and are not expensive compared to their size.
With the original Zyxel OS I reach up to 93MB/s read speed and 63 MB/s write speed with Samba and single drive configuration. The NFS speed is less than the Samba speed. The used harddrive reaches up to 130MB/s. I was impresse to read that with Archlinux and Freenas up to 120 MB/s can be reached - either with RAID or single drive configuration.
