Quotesqueezeplug I tried to boot from SATA, but that don't work for me. Do you have any idea? If you are using Jeff's uBoot, by default it will not boot from a SATA drive even if you have installed a kernel which supports the SATA ports. You need to change the uBoot settings so that it can initialize the SATA ports and load the Kernel and Initrd from the SATA disk. These are the cby varkey - Debian

You can install Jeff's Rescue System to the NAND on the GoFlex too, but for some reason the default memory location where the kernel image is loaded doesn't work, so I had to alter the rescue boot command as given in this post to make it work -- http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?4,3896,5126#msg-5126by varkey - Debian

Yes, just switch to ext3 and all these problems will be automatically solved. To convert to ext3, connect the hard disk to another linux system or the rescue system. Then Quotetune2fs -j /dev/sda1 After that edit the fstab file to mount it as ext3. One additional step you need to do is Quotefw_setenv usb_rootfstype ext3by varkey - Debian
The GoFlex Net supports Port Multiplier function, so I have attached a 4 Bay eSATA Enclosure -- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816132029 and connected it to the GoFlex using these cables 1. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150489406000 2. http://www.chinabestmall.com/15-7-pin-male-to-male-serial-ata-sata-22pin-data-extension-cable.html So yoby varkey - Debian

I think its because the SATA ports gets initialised first and gets assigned sda and in case of Jeff's uBoot the root partition is explicitly given as /dev/sda1 I think if you use the LABEL option it might work. Try this -- http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,5233,5334#msg-5334by varkey - Debian

I am using USB Hard Disk and formatted the data partition as ext4. I am easily getting a read speed of about 20 MB/s on a Gigabit network. I have a GoFlex Net in a similar config and with a SATA hard disk I get about 30-35 MB/s :) Both using Samba and on a Windows client.by varkey - Debian
The models sold on Buy.com seems to be POGO-E02 & POGO-E02G which are compatible with Jeff's uBoot and the current installation method. They have the normal armv5 CPU and has 256 MB RAM and 128 MB NAND. Its the new Pogoplugs with model numbers POGO-B01/02/03/04/P21 which have the armv6 CPU and is not supported properly. http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5/pogoplug-v2-pinkgrayby varkey - Debian

Jeff's uBoot already has support for the SATA port. You just need to use a kernel with the SATA drivers enabled and with the necessary GoFlex patches. I have written a small how-to on my blog, which might be helpful. The installation process is the same, but after installation it will not boot the stock Pogo OS only USB so you will have to setup recovery system asap.by varkey - Debian
On the GoFlex Net, the original Pogoplug OS doesn't boot once you update the uBoot. Best option is to load Jeff's recovery system and change the memory address as I mentioned in the other post.by varkey - Debian
AFAIK the PogoPlug Pro is *not* supported. So do not try to update the uBoot or you may brick the device. You can however try PlugBox, the installation guide is available here -- http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv6/pogoplug-provideov3by varkey - Debian
QuoteI notice, btw, on Ebay, adapters that seem to include thingys that seem like they're designed to connect to pins, e.g.: Yes, but it won't fit the pins on the GoFlex as the pitch is different. Atleast the one that came with my adapter didn't work. And the rescue system should have booted from the USB drive on a Dockstar but on the GoFlex there seems to be some issue withby varkey - Debian
You don't have to do any soldering to attach the wires. Its very easy to attach it using the hooks. Btw I forgot that you already installed debian to the sata disk, did you try connecting the hard disk using USB?by varkey - Debian
What I meant was to use a usb stick with debian already installed, maybe from a Dockstar, but then if this is your first install, that won't work. If you can get serial access then you can fix it easily. You can then load the rescue system and run the installer again.by varkey - Debian
QuoteThis seemed to work fine; I installed to a HDD plugged into one of the unit's SATA ports, instead of an external USB drive (it showed up as the standard /dev/sda) - I hope this was not a fatal mistake?

To run the Rescue System on the GoFlex Net you need to change the memory address from 0x800000 to something else. I don't know the reason but when I changed it to 0x500000, it booted into the Rescue System perfectly. So you need to run the following command to make that change fw_setenv rescue_bootcmd 'if test $rescue_installed -eq 1; then run rescue_set_bootargs; nand read.e 0xby varkey - Rescue System
