Re: Linux Kernel 3.8.11 Kirkwood package (Non Flattened Device Tree) - 10 years ago
syong, It is strange that the NSA310 has one-bay but usually cost more than the NSA320. As far as I can tell the only other different in configuration is the eSATA port on the NSA310. Is there any other difference that you're aware of?by bodhi - Debian

Re: A new uboot patch to support >2TB HDD? - 10 years ago
Not so good news! It does not seem latest uBoot version 2013.04 has support for GPT disk > 2TB yet. It does suports GPT partition, but because of this bug, GPT partition size can only be < 2TB. u-boot-2013.04/disk/part_efi.c /* * Problems with CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA: * * struct disk_partition.start in include/part.h is sized as ulong. * When CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA is activated,by bodhi - uBoot
Re: Pogoplug not booting into debian - 10 years ago
Was uBoot installation part done successfully? You could take the stick to another Linux box, and try to format it to make sure it is good. dmesg showed errors with the stick. You can rerun the installation again with another USB stick. If uBoot was installed OK then it will detect that and skip it. But respond to the question to restore envs with YES. In any case, pls post the complete loby bodhi - Debian
Re: Pogoplug not booting into debian - 10 years ago
Try unplug the USB stick and plug it back in. Check to see if it was detected: dmesg If it was then fdisk -lby bodhi - Debian
Re: Pogoplug not booting into debian - 10 years ago
Pogo21 could be different type (OXNAS vs. Kirkwood). In Pogo OS prompt run this command: uname -a and post output here.by bodhi - Debian
Re: No init found. Try passing init= bootarg. (Solved, somehow...) - 10 years ago
It seems your USB rootfs is ext2? If your rootfs is ext3, and the uBoot env for rootfstype is ext2, then it should boot fine. But not the other way around. So check to see if your rootfs is indeed ext2 then make it ext3. And change rootfstype back to ext3.by bodhi - Debian
Re: smbnetfs can't preserve date time - 10 years ago
syong, Yeah, I use Samba because it's much more convenient. So I trade a little speed gain of nfs for that. And I needs smbnetfs to copy files from Linux servers to any OS flavor (OSX, Windows, Linux) in the network using command line. I like smbnetfs because it discovers and automounts Samba shares. The box used for building kernel runs 3.6.11 kernel and boot from HDD, the other boxesby bodhi - Debian
Re: smbnetfs can't preserve date time - 10 years ago
syong, I'm not sure file system is the problem. IIRC, it behaves the same way even when copying files between identical systems. I boot all my boxes with the clones of the same stick, except the system used for building kernel. But it's a good suggestion, I will test that theory.by bodhi - Debian
Re: Pogoplug not booting into debian - 10 years ago
Which Pogoplug do you have? Did you keep the installation log? If you can log in to Pogo OS, I'd suggest to install netconsole first (you can see more info about the problem): http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,14by bodhi - Debian
Re: Booting Debian on Pogoplug Pro - 10 years ago
@sxk, > I guess it > is not even coming to sysvinit. > I think you're right, the LED indicated that you have not got to the point where the system is loading rootfs. So as shv mentioned above, make sure the partition on USB is ext3, active, and labeled "rootfs".

smbnetfs can't preserve date time - 10 years ago
I've been using smbnetfs to transfer files using cp command across multiple Debian servers. Everything works great, copying files never failed. But there is a problem with preserving date and time, and I could not find a reason why or any solution for it (perhaps my Google-fu is not up to par ? :) Example: root@Dockstar:/localdisk/linux# cp -a /media/net/WORKGROUP/TLDDEBIAN/localdisk/by bodhi - Debian
Re: kernel 3.5 and device-tree support... - 10 years ago
duduke, As mentioned above and in other uBoot threads, I'm stuck at a netconsole problem. Even with the latest version (2003.04), I'm seeing this problem in my build. I've successfully booted a GoFlex Net and Pogo E02 with uBoot for FDT kernel (both in serial console manual booting and booting without interrupting). So I'm confident that it works, as long as netconsole is nby bodhi - Debian

Re: Which Device to get ? - 10 years ago
dinjo, Search on eBay, much cheaper than else where. The GoFlex Home has 1 SATA ports, the Goflex Net has 2 SATA ports.by bodhi - Off-Topic
Re: Which Device to get ? - 10 years ago
For your pupose, the GoFlex Home/Net is enough. It's cheaper than the GoFlex Net for the same horse power. The unit itself is cheaper to get, and the GoFlex Desk 3.5" SATA hard disk for it is also cheaper, and it has power button. But if you are using non-GoFlex eSATA enclosure to house the hard disk, then the GoFlex Net is nicer ( you can plug in another eSATA enclosure on the 2nd portby bodhi - Off-Topic
Re: Serial wire connector too big for JST header - 10 years ago
syong, Thanks for the links! looks really nice. For my Pogoplug E02, I just plug in the JST header and thread the 4 wires underneath the bottom front. I know, lazy :) But there is enough clearance for these small wires. It's not tidy, these wires are hanging out and need to be rolled up. This phone jack installation looks very professional. I might try this when I have time to tinker withby bodhi - Off-Topic
Serial wire connector too big for JST header - 10 years ago
I have a question, hope someone know the answer for this: Below are JST serial header that I've installed in some of these plugs, and the wire I used to connect the Serial module. These wire connectors fit the Serial module perfectly, but they are too loose for the JST header. What are these wire connectors called? and where can I find a smaller size? I think I could cut off one end and cby bodhi - Off-Topic

Re: Linux kernel 3.2.28 Kirkwood package - 10 years ago
@chessplayer, Awesome! and sorry about the gz2/bz2, I got it mixed up sometime (it must be a mental block somewhere :)). I'll re-archive the tarball properly. The symlinks warning is not a problem, dpkg just looks for the source and build directories and can't find them. It does not effect the kernel installation at all.by bodhi - Debian

Re: A new uboot patch to support >2TB HDD? - 10 years ago
I've built the 2013.04 uBoot and tried it on a GoFlex Net. It still has problem with netconsole, so I consider it not fit for public consumption. There seems to be a race condition in netconsole input logic (it exhibits different behavior when debug is turned on and not turned on). It booted in normal mode OK, and also OK in serial console, but can't boot in netconsole. Netconsole iby bodhi - uBoot
