Re: GoflexHome USB Boot - 10 years ago

@maihoamv, Using optim's list of envs will make booting the USB consistent if it's plugged in. Don't worry about messing up the envs, since you have serial console. You can stop the boot process right from the beginning and fix the envs, if needed. I would recommend testing your serial console before changing the UBoot envs. Another important note. USB rootfs is labeled &quo

I have also run into some problem with the default settings for ntp in /etc/ntp.conf. Using the debian.pool.ntp.org did not seem to work consistenly for me, so I switched to some time servers that were much more responsive for my locale. #server 0.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst #server 1.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst #server 2.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst #server 3.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst #m

Re: Rescan USB Bus - 10 years ago

Not necessarily, it meant that if you use mount in udev rules, then it needs to pair with umount in the script. And the mount point has to be created before hand. If you use pmount then the mount point is created automatically under /media, and removed by pumount. So yes, to use pmount then just install pmount if it's not there, and the udev rules must be changed to use the correct syntax

Re: Problem booting with USB HDD attached - 10 years ago

I don't think you can disable UBoot scan for a certain USB drive (no reliable way to know which drive comes up first, it varies depending on the types and other factors). Can you repartition the drives to 1TB and 2TB partitions?

Re: Rescan USB Bus - 10 years ago

Your xfce Eject action might have some issue. Even after Eject, it should have left the sdb1 there until you physically remove it. I think that's the default behavior for Gnome. As I recall, Gnome even leaves the icon there so you can remount it by double clicking on the icon (I could be mistaken here because I did not look under the hood with Gnome, but on the surface, that's how it lo

Nothing in your log indicating that ntpd is running at all?

Re: Booting Debian on Pogoplug Pro - 10 years ago

That looks like your dmesg log, do you have syslogd running output to /var/log/messages or to RAM (with logread)? I think your ntpd problem can be sorted out if you look at the sys log.

Re: Problem booting with USB HDD attached - 10 years ago

It is indeed strange! there should be only one USB Hub, if you plug both drives directly to the Pogo E02. Sorry, I've not connected an ext4 HDD to the plug before starting the system, so don't know how Ext4 behave during boot time.

Re: Rescan USB Bus - 10 years ago

Sambul14, You can just run a script to remount the unmounted devices. The only drawback is your script will mount all of them! but if that's what you want then it's the most flexible way. Otoh, if you can manually remove/insert the USB connector then udev will assign it again. So rescan is just a matter of running the script. Here my script for this purpose: #!/bin/bash log

Re: Problem booting with USB HDD attached - 10 years ago

UBoot seem so pick up your USB HDD as the boot drive, so it can't boot. So the idea is to make UBoot pick the right one. The approach is to use a label for the USB boot drive and set UBoot env so that it will be selected. As long as you have the boot drive labeled with a unique name, it will be used always.

Thank laprjns, For me it's the other way around! J&R Friends membership (free) gives me free shipping. So it's only 19.99. But I'm afraid I will get another Oxnas instead of Kirwood E02. I'm after the 256M RAM E02. If anybody bought from J&R please let us know if it's a Kirwood or Oxnas. Thanks!

Re: Can't connect to Dockstar - 10 years ago

john3voltas, It looks like you have booted the rescue kernel successfully. Stay with serial, you can login and use a fresh USB stick, install Debian using Jeff's script. I would get it boot OK with Debian before worrying about using Arch (it's just so much easier using Jeff's script). After you've run this script, you will have newer UBoot, and that will make it much more f

@laprjns, Did you buy from JR and got an E02 before? I knew you got Kirkwood E02 before with this UPC # 850877002245 from different store. But in some stock it's really an Oxnas. I hate to buy more and end up getting another Oxnas :-) Thanks, bodhi

Re: Can't connect to Dockstar - 10 years ago

john3voltas, Your UBoot log for booting Arch indicated that everything is fine until it tried to start the kernel. Your rootfs is probably corrupted because of the power outage. Have you tried to fix it on another linux box? insert it and run e2fsck /dev/sdxx (where sdxx is the drive letter of the USB thumb) . Is your rootfs ext2 or ext3? If this did not work, you can download a fresh Arch

Re: Booting Debian on Pogoplug Pro - 10 years ago

bchen, If you like SqueezeBox, you could start with Debian Squeezeplug rootfs (sorry I don't have links), and do the manual steps. Just make sure that the version is 2.6.xxx. Or you can install the tools on top of your current rootfs. I recalled some users posted in this forum about Squeezeplug but can't remember the name.

Re: Swapping usb drive between pogoplugs - 10 years ago

@allerretour, Note the capital letter E in Eth*. Do you have a lower case eth* ? Basically this is to remove eth* from the whitelist (i.e. to force udev to reassign eth0), in addition to what Jeff mentioned above. # device name whitelist KERNEL!="Eth*|ath*|wlan*[0-9]|msh*|ra*|sta*|ctc*|lcs*|hsi*", \ GOTO="persistent_net_generator_end"
