Thank you sir! I'll take a look this weekend and figure it out.by narddawg314 - Debian
echo "0 0 0" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/scan returns nothing and I've rebooted with the drive attached but nothing either. Should I format as ext3?by narddawg314 - Debian
I have successfully booted and updated Debian on a USB 3.0 thumbdrive and wanted to mount a 500GB HDD for storage purposes. When I plug the HDD into the goflex, it spins up but I'm not able to find it with fdisk -l to mount the drive. Should I format it with ext2 or 3 prior to plugging it into the goflex? I believe it is currently formatted as FAT32by narddawg314 - Debian

unbelievable...third thumb drive is the charm! I stopped at MicroCenter and bought two of these 8 GB USB 3.0 thumb drives. First one booted up and I was able to successfully update, and upgrade so far. Thank you very very much for sticking with me!by narddawg314 - Debian

Should the partition be marked with a bootable flag?by narddawg314 - Debian
I can do that tonight..need to rebuild again..maybe I should go try another new USB drive just in case. Also, when building the usb drive, do I need any other partitions or just one big ext3 partition labeled rootfs? I want to make sure there isn't anything I'm missing there. I insert the thumbdrive in my ubuntu laptop and sudo gparted /dev/sdb (location of drive) then I unmount theby narddawg314 - Debian
Now that I see this output I'm wondering if I didn't format the USB correctly. The rootfs partition I created was ext3. Should I rebuild it as ext2? Tried to apt-get update again and it got to 10% reading before getting stuck. I canceled out of that and tried to start it again but then started getting I/O errors root@debian:/var# whoami -bash: whoami: command not found rootby narddawg314 - Debian
I had to disconnect and now can't get back in....rebuilding the thumbdrive and will give it another go. EDIT: This is the output after rebuilding and logging back in. root@debian:~# mount sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) proc on /proc type proc (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) udev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,relatime,size=10240k,nr_inodes=14530,mode=75by narddawg314 - Debian
I got in!!! I rebuilt the USB thumbdrive again and plugged everything in with no disk and powered it up. I let it sit for a couple hours and then checked my router to see if it was on the network. I found it registered and tried to ssh...success! I issued a "apt-get update" and got an error. Will be searching the forums. root@debian:~# apt-get update Hit http://ftp.us.debian.oby narddawg314 - Debian
should the rootfs USB partition be marked as bootable?by narddawg314 - Debian
I know the cable is good because it's usually connected to my raspberry pi which is connected to my TV as a set top box and I use it constantly. I've reimaged a different USB drive twice and tried on both goflex devices with the same results. Guess I'll know more when I get that serial cable.by narddawg314 - Debian
Do I need to update the kernel as well? Unfortunately I'm not getting an IP any longer...this thing is so inconsistent....I'm losing hope of figuring this out. Edit1: Also what is the need for sync after unpacking the latest rootfs to the USB? Edit2: green light flashing on the front, but then it goes out and no light flashing. the ethernet port only flashing orange which tellby narddawg314 - Debian
Ok I imaged a new USB drive and when I booted the GoFlex this time, the red light didn't come on, AND I got an IP from my router...the device is also showing up as Debian now. I'm not able to SSH though..I tried with root a user, and with no user and each time the connection is refused. I can ping, but cannot telnet either. Any ideas? You've been a really big help thus far. Thby narddawg314 - Debian
will this serial cable work? https://www.adafruit.com/products/954 USB to TTL Serial Cable...I mess around with Raspberry PI's anyway so figured I would buy one if I can use it on the GoFlex Home.by narddawg314 - Debian
This is the goflex.. Would I attach the serial cable to the black 12 pin port by the battery? http://i.imgur.com/JO4WxNY.jpgby narddawg314 - Off-Topic
I really don't know if I changed anything related to U-Boot or not. .. I performed these steps: Find your devices's IP address and connect via SSH. Partition your flash drive with fdisk: fdisk /dev/sda # Configure partion 1 as Linux (I'd recommend making this at least 512Mb. The default bare-bones installation uses 280Mb.) # Configure partion 2 as Linux Swap (I used 2by narddawg314 - Debian
I'll report back ASAP. Thank you very very very much!! EDIT: No such luck. I think the USB is being read briefly because the light will flicker a few times but then the red flashing light comes back.by narddawg314 - Debian
I would love to do that but the device is no longer requesting an IP and is just flashing a red light. I can work on it some more when I get home this evening, but is there a recovery option with using a console cable or something like that?by narddawg314 - Debian
Ok I've registered and have an account on the seagate share site and I'm able to access the device with a web browser using the local IP and through the seagate site. Is there a setting somewhere to enable SSH? I'm still not able to gain access with that root/password combination.

I just recently bought a GoFlex and wanted to setup a library box with it but I can't even gain root access to try and install the new OS. I tried stxadmin and ceadmin with root as the username but no joy. I tried with and without a USB drive plugged in from a ubuntu box, and via putty from my windows machine. This is a Seagate Certified Repair model, so maybe they chaby narddawg314 - Debian
