If uboot is 2013.10-tld-x it should work to set them to the new envs. It is best that you use serial console to populate them (non-destructive test). Let me know when you are ready. Only a few envs change needed to test this capability.

Thanks guys.
Learning a lot here.
I booted up with another USB plugged in up front and everything booted fine. Playing around with that I decided to move around my rootfs usb. It was plugged in the back of the pogoplug in the top slot. I moved it around to the bottom slot and plugged in a couple of other drives including "Hitch" and it boots just fine now. Hitch is the everyday drive - so that is really all I need.
I guess there is a process where it looks for the boot rootfs? It must be happier finding the rootfs in the bottom slot?
Anyway - I'd mark the boot issue solved at this point.
Now the only question I have left - is exfat the best file system for a large usb? If it is should I just install support on the 'plug?
I did N at this point but let me know what you think.
Anyway - I am having some fun with this 'plug now.
Thanks Bodhi and Mike. I really appreciate all of your help.

I have always had the root USB plugged into the front port. I usually use a little mini device, Sandisk Cruzer Fit. It's unobtrusive and I seem to recall a recommendation from the beginning of the Pogo Plug era to use the front port for the OS.
I can't make a recommendation re: exfat. I did not read everything I linked to yesterday. With only circumstantial information, if it was designed specifically for large USB drives and you want to use large USB drives, then you should probably be setup to handle them. Try the install of exfat support, see how it works, if it's a problem, remove it. I'd recommend more research so your comfortable with your decision.

No it does not have such process. The box's behavior in enumerating USB drives is unpredictable. It's really depending on the Pogo hardware that spun up during power up.
With that said, without any envs logic to tell u-boot how to find the rootfs, the best location for the USB rootfs is the port next to the Ethernet port. But it is just a best location when all USB drives are equal. In the future, when you reboot or power up, the first drive to be enumerated might not be that one, and could be any USB that is plugged in at the moment.
To have this configured to boot consistently each time, you would either:
1. Install newer u-boot: uboot.2015.10-tld-2
or
2. Redfine the envs to script the logic. That's what I asked Mike to do a test with serial console so that it would be available for you, Mike and other people with 2013.10-tld-4 u-boot.

Mike,
Download the attached envs file uboot.2015.10-tld-3.ox820.environment.
And reboot with serial console. Interrupt u-boot and copy/paste these envs to execute:
And then
It migh result in some error here, but I need to see it. If there is no error then proceed.
Please post the entire serial console log here.

cd /boot cp -a uboot.2015.10-tld-3.ox820.environment uEnv.txt sync

Mike,
I've modified the post above.
https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,97669,98084#msg-98084
I only want to see it executes the bootcmd_uenv successfully, no need to boot.
Please try again and post serial console log here.

Results: no errors, but nothing echoed, just return to prompt after run bootcmd_uenv. Unfortunately, I didn't look at your last post closely and booted. Note the different environment size the 2 times I printed them, before and after the run bootcmd_uenv command.

I think I know what the problem was. I've changed the logic since I released this u-boot.
Setting device to USB will work around it, I hope.

Hi Mike,
Looks very good!
So with this set of envs, you can plug in as many USB as you want.
Your USB rootfs is already labeled rootfs. All other USB drives have data only, and their partitions are labeled with other names.
At the u-boot prompt, go ahead and adjust the number of disks to 10... or whatever necessary and, boot:

Sorry to say, it doesn't work. I plugged in a random vfat USB, not labeled rootfs, entered boot at the u-boot prompt, and it went into a boot loop. I then reentered the setenv commands, ran bootcmd_uenv and got the importing envs response and then the u-boot prompt. Plugged in the second USB and entered boot. A full serial log below:

Mike,
Ah. We are very close, but I forgot to adjust the load commands. Recall that in the first go round I use "load", which is not supported by this u-boot version. And then I changed the load command to use ext2load in the current envs:
So the default evns inside uEnv.txt need to be adjusted further. Any load command must be replaced by ext2load.
Here is the revised envs to be copied to uEnv.txt.

Testing results:
2 USB connected, rootfs in front USB, vfat USB in one of the back connectors, boot process not interrupted:
Note that USB in back connector gets sda1.
Same as above, but interrupt boot and run bootcmd_uenv:
It looks like bootcmd_uenv is not getting called or not running when called in the loaded environments:
I don't know the sequence of the environment commands execution, so I may be all wet.
I'll try a few other things and report anything interesting.

Thanks Mike,
Right! there is one more env to save.
Power up, interrupt serial console, and
If it boot into Debian OK (whether only with single USB, or multiple USB), then set it permanently:
And reboot. And observe serial console log.
If it has problem with vfat again, I'll take a look to see how to change the envs.

OK, will do and report shortly. It can handle the vfat device if I interrupt boot, run bootcmd_uenv and then boot. It fusses about it but keeps looking for a bootable device, eventually finds it, and boots OK. So, the basic logic is OK, it just needs to run.
UPDATE: Turns out 2 environments needed to be added: bootcmd_uenv and bootcmd_exec, with that it boots with the rootfs and 2 other USBs. I made them permanent from Debian and it booted successfully.
As you noted up-thread, the lowest USB on the back is the first enumerated and the front is last. With the rootfs USB in the lowest port, it gets sda1.
Here's the serial log of a successful boot:
Now that we have the environments in NAND (I guess) do we need to load from /boot/Uenv.txt on every boot?

Right. The idea is that we don't care which drive letter the rootfs drive is assigned to. It should be always be found by u-boot and boot sucessfully. I usually plug in USB rootfs in front port so I can see the small LED light while it is booting.

Not yet.
Now reboot to serial console prompt, run
After this, boot into Debian, and remove uEnv.txt.
But I would like to go further, and make something everybody can use. Boot into Debian, and
Please attach the file uboot.2013.10-tld-4.ox820.environment here.
After that, I will make a shell script and then you do a final test with it, also set the envs to your specific environment (ipaddr, serverip, ethaddr).
And we'll have a script that will work for 2013-2015 u-boot version.

Now reboot to serial console prompt, run
run bootcmd_uenv printenvand then
saveenv
After this, boot into Debian, and remove uEnv.txt.
cd /boot mv uEnv.txt uEnv.txt.saveAnd then reboot a couple times to make sure it always work. After that your box is all set.

All worked OK. Three boots, with and without extra USBs, consistent results each time, serial log looked as expected. It complains about uEnv.txt not found, but keeps going.
In this case the rootfs was usb 0.
Environments file attached.

Cool! let me reformat it in a shell script, with some envs removed and post back.

Cool! let me reformat it in a shell script, with some envs removed and post back.

Re: Best way for automounting external USB drive(s) April 05, 2020 04:15PM |

Hi guys!
I hope everyone is safe and healthy.
I know it is not exactly the answer you guys are working toward - but I have had no trouble boots since moving my rootfs usb plug to the one closest to the Cat5 port.
I am now moving on to my next pogoplug adventure.
I am trying to backup my big 1 tb drive and come up with a regular backup schedule etc.
But I am having troubles with the rsync command.
So my source partition is mounted with autofs at /share/hitch/ and the destination partition is at /share/hammer/
I have tried a bunch of rsync commands....
I bet I am missing something really easy - but I can't figure it out yet. Any pointers are really appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
TC
