local-mac-address is not set ?!?

Yesterday i saw on my nsa320 this message on boot

[Firmware Info]: /ocp@f1000000/ethernet-controller@72000/ethernet0-port@0: local-mac-address is not set
and
EXT2-fs (sdb1): warning: mounting ext3 filesystem as ext2

I have Linux version 4.1.0-kirkwood-tld-1 (root@tldDebian)
U-Boot 2014.07-tld-3

is there a problem with my u-boot settings ???

please set so this log message should go away.
if not, please chack the "ifconfig" output

please change

to: usb_rootfstype=ext3
your ext3 partition is then mounted as such

sz3bbylA,

- Ignore the local MAC address warning. No problem there. But don't change anything related to this ethaddr.
- rootfstype is what pengu said above. Your USB rootf is using Ext3 file system. But your usb_rootfstype is Ext2, so to fix:

fw_setenv usb_rootfstype ext2

These are OK. They are not errors, only for information.

when the mac adress is set via U-Boot and "ifconfig" shows the same, then you can ignore this message.

otherwhise set it here: /etc/network/interfaces
