You didn't have to reformat the drive, it's just that UBIT v0.6 on the GoFlex Net has a bug: Whenever a SATA HDD is attached, UBIT tells the kernel to look for the rootfs on /dev/sda1, which is not necessarily the right rootfs. The only known workaround (for UBIT v0.6) is to label the rootfs as "rootfs" and hardcode it into initrd. Check out the section "Finding the rightby Vlad - Debian
Looks like I was the first one to learn it, and I learned it the hard way. mv_cesa doesn't work with newer kernels (for instance 2.6.38.8 and 3.0.0). It compiles fine and the module can be loaded, but the data becomes corrupted leading to segfaults and kernel panics. Sad, but true.by Vlad - Debian
The latest news. mv_cesa is not working properly with the 3.0.0 kernel. I tried using it for swap partition and got sudden segfaults. Recovered my rootfs from a backup twice only to realize that the segfaults started every time I activated the swap. Then I disabled mv_cesa and the segfaults were gone. Enabled it and segfault came again. What can I say: forget about hardware offloading :(by Vlad - Debian
Here I'd like to explain how you can use your GoFlex/Dockstar to enable AirPrint on any printer that is supported by CUPS. The idea behind is that avahi sends announcements which make iOS think that the printer is AirPrint compatible. Of course this works only for iOS versions that support AirPrint.

In this howto I'd like to describe how to get iSCSI running on a GoFlex Net. Because of its 2 SATA ports GoFlex Net is really predestinated to be an iSCSI target. When using iSCSI in my Gbit LAN I get about 40-50MB/s for an ext4 partition and about 30MB/s for NTFS. The best thing is, however, the client side encryption. I can use my favourite aes-xts-plain without worrying about the crappy Aby Vlad - Debian
I've updated some parts of the howto, such that there should be no more errors related to LANGUAGE or /dev/pts. I've also just tested it on my Ubuntu 11.04 and it worked flawlessly. Unfortunately, I must confirm that for some reason this doesn't work with Ubuntu Live CD. You need a usual system installed on the HDD. Or just use the qemu from the testing repo on your Debian Netbook.by Vlad - Debian
I've just updated the howto to reflect the current situation. To make it straight: The howto is correct, both encryption and SSH unlocking work very well. The only thing that doesn't work is hardware offloading (mv_cesa) for the root partition. Hardware offloading for all other encrypted partitions (including swap) except for the root partition works. The thing is, that when you open anby Vlad - Debian
Thanks, but unfortunately it doesn't work quite as expected. By this I mean the aes offloading. I thought that I made it working my compiling mv_cesa against the kernel, but in fact it works only on occasions, giving segfaults otherwise. However, if you remove mv_cesa completely everything works perfectly. I believe that that module is still too buggy and not properly maintained. Anyway, eveby Vlad - Debian
I wouldn't use that legacy stuff. Separate uImage and uInitrd actually work flawlessly. As you probably know GoFlex Net/Home are not supported by the official Debian kernel. Here are uInitrd and uImage for the 2.6.37 kernel compiled by Jeff. This one definitely supports GoFlex Net and will probably boot on GoFlex Home too. http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/goflex/v0.6/uInitrd http://jeff.by Vlad - uBoot

I guess that's because qemu-kvm-extras-static is in the universe repository which is not enabled by default in Ubuntu LiveCD. Go to Synaptic and enable universe repo. Then do the usual "sudo apt-get update". After that the package should appear.by Vlad - Debian
It looks good except for the "qemu: Unsupported syscall: 341" and "Unsupported ioctl: cmd=0xc020660b" messages. Those actually shouldn't appear. They look like a qemu bug, but if the bug is not relevant for the security, it might still be present in theDebian Squeeze repository.

Here's a howto on using a LUKS encrypted Debian rootfs on a GoFlex/Dockstar. The rootfs is unlocked on boot by a password and that you must supply via SSH. The working principle in a nutshell: We have a small (200 MB) unencrypted partition that contains the kernel (uImage) and initramfs (uInitrd). The root partition itself is LUKS encrypted using aes-cbc-essiv:256. The initramfs starts aby Vlad - Debian

I get the same error if I try to boot without usb flash attached (I have a GoFlex Net). IIRC when applied to GoFlex Net/Home Jeff's script modifies the bootloader in a way that it's not possible to boot the original firmware anymore. I haven't heard of a way to recover that firmware either. Personally, I'm not very unhappy about this, because I bought my GoFlex Net only becausby Vlad - uBoot
A small correction concerning my previous statement on custom vanilla kernels failing with unlocking LUKS-encrypted rootfs via SSH. After some more experiments, I finally managed to find the reason for the kernel panic and could reproduce those when using Debian kernel too. The culprit is mv_cesa.

Hmm, I've just learned a very weird thing about my patched Debian kernel: It doesn't boot if there is no uInitrd present. I mean it gets to the "Starting kernel ..." but the kernel part of the netconsole stays empty. If there's a uInitrd present everything works just fine.

Here's a quick howto on patching the 3.0.0 kernel from Debian testing (Wheezy repo) to work with GoFlex Net and GoFlex Home. Why not just take a self-compiled vanilla kernel?

I'm not sure if it is a well known fact, but it looks like after installing UBIT v0.6, linux-image-2.6-kirkwood kernels from the Debian repositories (like linux-image-2.6.32-5-kirkwood) don't boot anymore.

While browsing this forum I noticed that many people are looking for a working debian image from Jeff's script because for some reason theirs is not working any more.

Sometimes, it might be useful to be able to boot you GoFlex/Dockstar rootfs in a virtual machine. Unfortunately, as of now qemu doesn't support emulating Marvell Kirkwood CPU's.

Out of curiosity I decided to do some futher tests on "aes-cbc-essiv:sha256" vs "twofish-xts-plain --key-size 512" As John Hughes has already said, aes-cbc-essiv is supported by mv_cesa, whereas twofish is not.
