Hi pigbone, Please confirm the platform you are executing step 1 on? are you using a system with linux? I used a desktop running Mint 19 Live to execute the procedure to make bootable debian rootfs USB. Step 1 procedure can be done without having the Goflex_home box involved.

Hi Bodhi, Installed Uncomplicated Firewall (ufw) ( https://wiki.debian.org/Uncomplicated%20Firewall%20%28ufw%29 ) on my GoFlex Home Box as follows: (1) Typed this command into the terminal as a super user to install ufw: # apt-get install ufw However, simply installing the firewall did not turn it on automatically.

Hi Bodhi, Just upgraded Kernel to linux-4.20.6-kirkwood-tld-1-bodhi.tar.bz2. (1) after the upgrade, I still see old kernel files! Below is the listing of files in /boot directory. Is this normal? Should I delete old files manually or leave them there? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- root@GoFlexHome:/boot# ls . ..

Thanks Daviddyer for pointing that out. My box is booting and running from the HD, so I guess there will be no benefit from( hdparm -S 255 /dev/sda) command. I was planning to leave the box on 24X and hoping for some HD power/life saving features would kick-in. Regards, Naviby Navi - Debian
Thanks Bodhi, So the second command (:~# hdparm -K 1 /dev/sda) was unnecessary? Is there a way to reverse the changes that happened because of executing it? How to confirm if the changes of first command (~# hdparm -S 255 /dev/sda ) are working? I can feel the drive and it has slight vibration even after 30 minutes. Regards, Naviby Navi - Debian
Hi Bodhi, after installing hdparm I used following command as root to set HD spindown time to 21 minutes on my GoFlex Home Box ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~# hdparm -S 255 /dev/sda /dev/sda: setting standby to 255 (21 minutes + 15 seconds) and then used following command to retain hdparm settings after a softwarby Navi - Debian

Hi Bodhi, Thanks to this forum and in particular due to you, now I have my GoFlexHome Box all setup with more functionality than the Stock OS was able to provide.

Hi Bodhi, That worked. Now I am booting from HDD. Few more questions: 1) Should I upgrade to linux-4.20.6-kirkwood-tld-1-bodhi.tar.bz2 ? 2) Is it possible to use some kind of splitter on Sata port to attach two HDDs to GoFlexHome? Regards, Naviby Navi - Debian
Hi Bodhi, I will have to procure a usb to sata adapter to connect the sata drive to my Laptop for executing above maneuver, which I will order.

Hi Bodhi, Can't seem to figure out how to format the "cp -R Src_directory Dest_directory" command to move rootfs from USB to HD. Should I be using "cp -R /dev/sdb1/boot /dev/sda1/boot" ? Regards, Naviby Navi - Debian
Bodhi, Since I have activated Netconsole, I am skipping rescue system install. I am using cfdisk command to partion the new 250G WD drive. 1) Should the 20G partition that contains rootfs be 83 Linux type? (I have made it Primary and x83 Linux.

Hi Bodhi and Skia, I think there may be a larger issue involved here. In coming days you will see many more users stuck with a box they cannot access after they have factory reset it.

Hello Skia, As I am a new to Linux, I am afraid I wont be of much help. However, Bodhi is the Guru and I am sure your situation can be resolved. To make it easier to understand your situation can you please answer the following questions: 1) Were you running stock OS when you reset your device? 2) How was the device reset? Did you try to install other firmware or did you do manual reset oby Navi - Debian
