Re: MacPlug & SMBPLug : Mac/AFPD or Windows/SMB + Print services in a flash/NAND image - 12 years ago
I'm thinking that space was _really_ limited, ie. that the needed modules and nfs support binaries wouldn't fit in SMBPlug ... (IIRC). The binaries for NFS are in MacPlug, but by default they aren't running. IIRC, there is a startup script for them in /etc/init.d/ that would need to be activated.by davygravy - Rescue System
Re: Does any version of uboot support EFI and GPT? - 12 years ago
That's distressing to see. I find it difficult to believe that they'd have let stand so substantial a problem. Have you considered emailing the uboot mailing list for confirmation of this problem ?by davygravy - uBoot

Re: Newer uBoot as workaround to 3.2 kernel problem? - 12 years ago
Replying to my own previous post here, and to Handy1 who PMed me regarding this... I will re-research the issue of GPT and 64bit support. IIRC, it requires at least two settings changed on the config.h file... CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION (which may be a misnomer - perhaps GPT would be a better name for it) and CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA . Once I roll some trial uboot images, and test that they willby davygravy - uBoot
Re: MacPlug & SMBPLug : Mac/AFPD or Windows/SMB + Print services in a flash/NAND image - 12 years ago
Still no idea RE luks or cryptsetup... The email stuff included is sufficient to send email to say gmail... I've tried it myself... a short tutorial or example wouldn't be that tough... OK Putting a disk to sleep may be possible via sdparm - which I included, but haven't tried w/ a harddisk.by davygravy - Rescue System

Re: MacPlug & SMBPLug : Mac/AFPD or Windows/SMB + Print services in a flash/NAND image - 12 years ago
This is a static setup - there is no intent for adding more packages/binaries. As far as luks and cryptsetup, are they in Buildroot's recipe/package repository? If not, perhaps you could add them in... how large are the binaries? Do they compile under uClibc?by davygravy - Rescue System

Re: GoFlex Home uboot update/mac address problem - 12 years ago
The GoFlex units are hard to completely bork/brick/bone. Hard, but not impossible, I guess. That being said, I've never bricked one - I've always been able to recover by JTAG or easier yet, by kwboot tool. Yes, now is the time to get a tried and true serial cable and hook it up. I don't know where the pinout diagram is, nor do I know where the links for the best serial coby davygravy - uBoot

I have rerolled it as 2.8.2 and reissued it w/ the Pogo E02 enabled, as I had supposed/believed it was. Thanks for your attention to detail and patience.

Re: Rescue V2.8 : many enhancements + full kernel support for GoFlexNet/Home, Zyxel NSA3x0 and many others - 12 years ago
Yes, I've found the problem. The UBoot that I uploaded for Jeff to distribute to the community is a completely functional/tested/working kwb image - save for one detail : the arcNumber setup is not correctly implemented (this is my oversight, not Jeff's). I have a newer one that does correctly implement it here : https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1015928/Kirkwood/uboot/newer-uboots-nonby davygravy - Rescue System
Re: Newer uBoot as workaround to 3.2 kernel problem? - 12 years ago
This looks like a very old kernel that doesn't have any support for the Dockstar. That appears to be the problem - perhaps the only one.by davygravy - uBoot

Re: ZyXEL NSA320 install from scratch - 12 years ago
Hi @ both eas and r9brian... Installation by my method: 1. requires a serial cable, 2. replaces the stock uboot w/ one that I created 3 removes (perhaps permanently?) the stock firmware (I've never tried putting the stockware back in flash, it might be possible - but I have no interest in it) 4. requires you to know some Linux and command line basics... 5. requires you to assumeby davygravy - Rescue System
Re: Rescue V2.8 : many enhancements + full kernel support for GoFlexNet/Home, Zyxel NSA3x0 and many others - 12 years ago
I'm not sure whether it would interact poorly w/ what is already there in terms of daemons and udhcp* stuff. I'll take a peek at what is there right now & post back.by davygravy - Rescue System
Re: new uboot for nsa320 - 12 years ago
I'm not sure ... are you both looking for a newer UBoot for the NSA320? I made one back in Spring of this year (2012), and it boots from USB, from SATA, from TFTP and from NAND. If you are already aware of this and want something newer or with a wider feature set, then disregard, and good luck to you. If you do want to use the one I already created, then see this : http://forumby davygravy - uBoot
Re: Trying to install rescue system on new GoFlex Net - 12 years ago
Wheezy is still formally in "Testing" designation, is it not? It is discouraging that there are still so many bumps in the road, but I guess that is why they call it "Testing"...by davygravy - Rescue System

Re: Bricked goflex home --> Problem with JTAG - 12 years ago
Wait a moment... maybe I'm forgetting something important here... but... Isn't the entire GoFlex series capable of something easier than JTAG?
