Re: I can't get any ipaddress on goflex home - 11 years ago

garyang, Your uBoot env for rootfs type is: usb_rootfstype=ext2 So try to extract the rootfs again to an EXT2 formatted USB drive. And try booting with that.

Re: Booting Debian on Pogoplug Pro - 11 years ago

@shv, I did. But my Arch kernel on NAND is older, I beleive. I recalled WarheadsSE has done at least one update. Mine is running on Debian wheezy rootfs. But the kernel is still ALARM 2.6.31.6_SMP_820.

Re: Newer U-Boot for FDT and Non-FDT Kernel - 11 years ago

Josef, Your arcNumber is 2998, meaning it is for the Dockstar, not GoFlexNet. When you boot your old 2.6.39, it set your box as a Dockstar, which is OK. The new uBoot is GoFlex Net version, so your arcNumber needs to be set to 3089 to be correct. But don't change arcNumber yet because you have to boot with a kernel that supports it after you've done that. Using my rootfs, it will wor

Re: Newer U-Boot for FDT and Non-FDT Kernel - 11 years ago

Josef, Since you don't have serial console, netconsole is a must before attempting to change any thing in uBoot. Even that, serial console is strongly recommended :) Do you keep a log of what's going on during the installation? To get it boot back to Debian to troubleshoot, use this 3.8.11 rootfs in this thread: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096 See this section: Upd

Re: rsync does not exclude directories in cron.daily - 11 years ago

Restamp, Indeed, I did not have any quote surrounding the exclude patterns! your explanation makes sense. I'd bet that is the answer. However, I always thought the rsync exclude patterns, if specified without a full path, they are relative to the source. In this case it is /*, and the manual seems to indicate that: ANCHORING INCLUDE/EXCLUDE PATTERNS As mentioned earlier

gaogao Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > can it be used on NSA320? No, this version is for GoFlex Net only. It could be used for GoFlex Home, though. The reason: each uBoot image is built using the board file for that hardware. So when you run Jeff's install script, it actually selects the right version for you.

@Oakley470, NP. Your uBoot env for rootfstype is currently set to ext2. Take the rootfs USB stick to a Linux box and convert it to ext2 using tune2fs. Boot with it. If not successful, go back to serial console and please get the output of > printenv and post it here. It's a really good sign that it got to the point where it is right now.

Re: rsync does not exclude directories in cron.daily - 11 years ago

Thanks restamp! I use relative path for --exclude (I did try full path, too). I have not had time to try to figure this one out. Perhaps you can spot something rsync --version rsync version 3.0.9 protocol version 30 #!/bin/sh echo `date` "Started rsync daily backup" >> /tmp/rsync.backup.daily.log Host=`hostname` if [ $Host = "tldDebian" ]; then

Re: Attempt to restore Pink Pogoplug e02 to factory corrupt uboot. Where to go from here? - 11 years ago

First, you should get it booted back to either Arch or Debian. From there you can restore it easily. Take either: - Arch rootfs at Arch site or - my rootfs: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096 (Updated 19 June 2013) or - Davy's rootfs: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,7806 Put it on an empty USB thumb, and try booting with it.

Re: rsync does not exclude directories in cron.daily - 11 years ago

restamp, I've scheduled 2 rsync dry-run cron jobs to run consecutively today and got the result. The root cron job ran correctly, excluding all the directories. The cron.daily did not, it showed the same behavior before, did not exclude any directory! So I guess Syong has the right idea above, could be something about permission. Could it be something change in security policy that we are

@servercat, Whenever that happen, don't reboot, stay in the rescue system and run the install script again. But it seems too late now, because you have rebooted? if yes, serial console is the only way if you can't get in the rescue system again.

Re: rsync does not exclude directories in cron.daily - 11 years ago

@restamp, Thanks for the valuable info! I put the new entry in the root cron and the dry-run works :) ... but only after I rebooted both the source and destination boxes. The inital root cron attempt showed the same behavior (not excluding directorries). That caused me to think a little bit about what I did during testing. I did abort a cron daily dry-run when I saw a massive number of files

Re: Booting Debian on Pogoplug Pro - 11 years ago

kuleszdl, The reason was that how WarheadsSE original set it up, in order to make it work he has to get some NDA info from the manufacturer, so I'm not sure if moving the kernel to USB would be feasible with the current uBoot (I did not try). It could be booted directly from the internal SATA port, since it is always picked up first, and there is instruction for that at Arch site.

Re: Booting Debian on Pogoplug Pro - 11 years ago

kuleszdl, I was hoping somebody would be able to build and flash Debian to NAND the same way WarheadsSE did for Arch. That would give us an upgrade path. But it seems it was not that easy. If pazos still visits this forum, I am sure he can tell us much more about this.

rsync does not exclude directories in cron.daily - 11 years ago

Hi, Anybody running rsync in a cron job to backup rootfs? Once in a while I run rsync in a script to backup my debian development plug rootfs to another plug.

Re: Booting Debian on Pogoplug Pro - 11 years ago

kuleszdl, It does make some differences using wheezy rootfs this way. Something like udev can't be upgraded without new kernel 3.x.x, but userland packages will be upgraded OK. I did the apt-get update and apt-get upgrade using wheezy apt source, and quite a few were upgraded (including xfce) so it worked well for me.
