Thanks Bodhi! Adding those conditionals to the startup script managed to get 2 of the 3 drives (I added another) to mount automatically and be available via SMB. The one that failed to auto-mount was /pogo1 which was first in the list. Maybe it just needs a little more time. Can you explain how the conditional works? My understanding is that it's saying ...

That's what I thought and then a Pogo mobile showed up in the mail. I can't really complain because I ended up getting it for free :) I wanted a V4-A3 for a while, and am still tempted by this one, but at this point I've got an E-02, 2 Pros, and 1 Mobile (grand total for all ... $40). Can't really think of another use for one.by cdlenfert - Off-Topic

In the past rebooting the Pogo and getting back to where I want to be in terms of the SMB setup has involved ejecting the drives unplugging the drives rebooting the pogoplug plugging the drives in 1 x 1 so they get mounted on the right location A while back I remember seeing this gby cdlenfert - Off-Topic
I'll also add this one to the mix. http://amzn.to/2wG090i I don't know if you'll get a true V4 with 3 USB ports (1 hidden under the top case) but if not (like in my case) the seller could send you a mobile by accident and then give you a refund when you point out the error and tell you to keep the device. That's right, I got a free Pogoplug Mobile. Good times!by cdlenfert - Off-Topic
I was able to do the fw_setenv command and see it was entered by running fw_printenv. However now when I reboot I can no longer get SSH access. I thought it was my other connected USB devices causing issues (sound card, 512MB flash for swap, mircroUSB charger cable) but unplugging those and rebooting still gets me nowhere.

Hey Bodhi, yeah, I should have mentioned I'm trying to do this on a Pogo Pro based on feedback from Alamaz. Sorry for the confusion.

The uboot thread only shows 2015.10 as the latest version. Seems like it also supports the uEnv.txt I'm on 2013.10 I believe. Is there a command I can run to check the current version of uBoot on Wheezy? If I get on the 2015 version that should work right?by cdlenfert - Debian
added the uEnv.txt file to my root. with contents zswap.enabled=1 however cat /proc/cmdline shows only: console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda1 rootdelay=10 Also noticed this in dmesg, where I made an initial swap before realizing size was in bytes.

Thanks Bodhi. So far (I thought) I managed to get a 512mb USB (it's old) formatted to EXT4 and created a 384mb swap file (called swampfile.img). After I formatted the USB and replugged it it auto mounted to /media/usb0 It took a very long time to build the swapfile.img file.

I've managed to install and log into Plex running on the Pogoplug Pro thanks to Almaz's deb file and instructions. The problem for me is that it's not running for very long before it apparently crashes. I know swap disk is recommended, but I'm honestly not sure how to set that up.

check out this page - http://geekyschmidt.com/2013/12/17/serial-port-on-the-pogoplug-v2 When you get to the point of editing the /etc/init.d/rcS file you can comment out an if/fi statement before and after the drobear telnet lines. Then save and reboot and you're good to go.by cdlenfert - Debian
Thanks Ray! That would have been nice to know when I set it up on my Pi Zero. On the main git page it says it would be back ported to Jessie if there was enough interest. I guess they had enough interest.by cdlenfert - Debian
Thanks bodhi. Good to know. Here's my guide for shairport-sync A majority of the steps are available at the github page (link below), but steps for multiple platforms are provided and it can get confusing on which ones to follow.

Oh nice. I didn't know you could set up a read only mode for Wheezy. For a dedicated device like an airplay speaker that makes a lot of sense. I managed to tweak settings a bit and make the volume control a lot better.

Has anyone managed to do something like this except using the newer and supported Shairport-Sync? I'd like to be able to use the Pogoplug Pro as an airplay receiver amongst other things. Edit: I've got this working at least at a base level. There are a lot of options in the settings and compiling stage for shairport-sync. I'll try to write up a tutorial.by cdlenfert - Debian
Well I greatly appreciate all the help getting the boot botch sorted out. Edit: Please ignore the stuff below. The reason I couldn't SSH into the Pogo was that I hooked up another external drive and I'm guessing it didn't know where to look for rootfs. I'll have to see how to remedy that later. For now, all is good with the wifi connection. I am still curious if I need to cby cdlenfert - Debian
Edit: Please skip this post, I got the PogoPro to boot into Debian on the USB by re-entering the u-boot setenv commands. The only difference in getting it to work was updating the pogo IP in the envs settings, and the server IP, and then I did a 'saveenv" so I wouldn't have to put in all these commands again.

I don't think I can work through the instructions (at least I'm not sure how I would) because I'm only able to access the u-boot console when connected via serial/UART.
