This works fine on my NSA325v2 with bodhi's 2015 uboot (the latest at the time of writing), but should work fine with anything else as it is mostly a Debian-side configuration. My setup leaves u-boot untouched as it relies on disk labels, I'm labeling the RAID1 "rootfs" and the uboot does not need to be altered in any way, so if you use the automagic "search-and-boot&qby bobafetthotmail - Debian

For the swap file it is better to use another flash drive than the one you use for system. If it is getting used a lot (and it seems to be, from what you say) it will wear out and die within months. Hard drives don't have this issue, and speed should be more or less the same if not better (as hard drives usually don't have the low write speed of flash drives).

Posting some wisdom from wikipedia: RAID 0 (also known as a stripe set or striped volume) splits ("stripes") data evenly across two or more disks, without parity information, redundancy, or fault tolerance. A RAID 0 array of n drives provides data read and write transfer rates up to n times higher than the individual drive rates https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_RAID_leveby bobafetthotmail - Off-Topic

write "help" in the u-boot console and see if there is some explanation about it. If that is your whole envs, it is probably a binary that loads stuff as defined in the other envs with addresses and/or with hardcoded addresses. To boot it needs 2 addresses, the flash address (where is kernel in flash memory) and the ram address (where the kernel is loaded before being executed).by bobafetthotmail - uBoot
@pld I did some tests about using the ADT controller. It works as advertised. fancontrol is inactive but fan speed is controlled automatically. its controls are in /sys/devices/platform/ocp@f1000000/f1011000.i2c/i2c-0/0-002e/hwmon/hwmon0 and it works the same as leds, you read the values in the "files" with cat and you write into them with echo 'something' > filenaby bobafetthotmail - Debian

Thanks for the answer. :) The reason I was interested in such feature is because I was thinking about having the device act like DriveDroid smarphone app. (that is terribly unstable on my hardware and screwed up my firmware, not a major issue since it got fixed at the next cyanogenmod nightly update, but heh) It works by taking a disk image from the internal storage (sd card in the phone) aby bobafetthotmail - Debian

I tend to not buy things I cannot "liberate" (= install Cyanogenmod custom Android firmware on), as I like all the features and privacy cyanogenmod gives, plus the root access, plus the fact that by default it does not suck like most stock firmwares I see on devices I have to fix.

No, he is talking of using a hardware function of the ADT747x itself. pwmconfig sets up the configuration of fancontrol, a script run in a loop, that checks temps and changes pwm speeds if needed. It seems that the ADT747x can do the same on its own, without the script, by just setting up temps somehow.by bobafetthotmail - Debian
> syong, where is the ground wire? In many devices I TTL (this thin client, nsa310 and 325, also my nexx3020 minirouter) there is no need of ground.

(completely unwarranted personal opinion incoming) I'd have opened them and connected a TTL-USB (serial) dongle on their serial connection, then you can see what the heck the bootloader is doing, and reconfigure it easily over terminal from your PC.
