Re: Pogo V3 Pro internal Dual SD Card (USB 2.0) using mPCIe slot - 3 years ago
Well after days of recovery and attempts my raid configuration failed me one too many times, it was showing a corrupted fs and sorry i did not copy all of the ways I tried to make it come back, fortunately I have really good recovery software and was able to save my data as raid wiped everything, I am now going to strictly run rsync weekly, as far as the duel card setup on here it is still runninby echowarrior108 - uBoot

Re: How to set up manual OpenVPN connection Using Linux/Debian terminal - 3 years ago
Cool and many thanks!!!! Just set this up on my other plug and used a different server, one says its in las vegas and the other is in tampa fl lol... it bypasses my router vpn which is currently in NYC. so basically I can set all my home devices manually and always have my router showing as a default vpn location. I am glad I know where I am:)by echowarrior108 - uBoot

How to set up manual OpenVPN connection Using Linux/Debian terminal - 3 years ago
Below I copied the latest install for surfshark from their website this was not written by me but I did modify it for this forum, I copied it for those that don't feel comfortable accessing external links,I do not work for surfshark and I am a paid user of this product so be aware that if you use the product they will charge for service, I believe you can get a free version from some vpn proby echowarrior108 - uBoot

I can add that to my to do list, still working on a mail server as well, but things are busy here:) I am running surfsharkvpn on my router and I can try to put the settings into the plug as well. I will make a post when I get started and see how it goes!!!by echowarrior108 - uBoot
Re: Pogo V3 Pro internal Dual SD Card (USB 2.0) using mPCIe slot - 3 years ago
What is cool is I look back and see that in 2 days it will 3 years running this sandisk microsd card and it still works after running nearly 24/7!!! Was glad you posted about which brand to use and you called it right. I can't wait to see how long this runs because I run weekly debian updates as well and try to check the drive now from time to time logging in with external usb stock rootfs tby echowarrior108 - uBoot
Re: Pogo V3 Pro internal Dual SD Card (USB 2.0) using mPCIe slot - 3 years ago
Hi everyone, gotten a little behind on this for personal reasons, the original microsd card is still operating with no new issues and passes a fsck. I just install the latest update: Linux Kernel 5.4.101 Oxnas (OX820) Pogo V3 package and Debian rootfs ( https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,16044 ) everything went well without issue! Have a good day!by echowarrior108 - uBoot

Re: How to back up a live rootfs using rsync - 3 years ago
QuoteIf you writing code or scripts, you should really be using version control such as git or svn. And rsync backup daily using this process. only toying with a few scripts thus far, kinda new to that. actually been trying a little bit of anything to see what this device can do then if I like it i incorporate it to my main plug which right now is mostly a home server. I may try git or svn laby echowarrior108 - Debian
Re: How to back up a live rootfs using rsync - 3 years ago
I can't tell you how many times I used to start all over with programming because of this or that.... I used to dd copy every so often then remove the copied usb which is effective to a certain extent however this is a much better way for sure!by echowarrior108 - Debian
Re: How to back up a live rootfs using rsync - 3 years ago
I did find a little shortcut to watching by using htop.I use a second terminal then simply run htop, what I do then is hit f4 for search and type in rsync and anything running rsync will show as it runs. What is nice is that it shows how much memory is being used at the same time. It was massive on the first try for sure! it goes fast now. currently I am running an ssd on the sata drive anby echowarrior108 - Debian

Re: Pogo V3 Pro internal Dual SD Card (USB 2.0) using mPCIe slot - 3 years ago
No crashes since re installing uboot. glad to get past the issue and see how long this will run till the drive actually quits. I am now running a backup straight to an sata drive which is my new failsafe, if the mpcie quits I can quickly get up and running on sata without losing anything. So for now all is good again!!by echowarrior108 - uBoot

Re: environment issues pogoplug pro v3 - 3 years ago
bodhi, I have success, I tried something simple, I made a fresh usb and copied the two files from that to the sata drive and also copied them to my other boxes and have this working. I located the files fw_printenv and fw_setenv in the new usb drive # mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt #cd /mnt # locate fw_ /mnt/etc/fw_env.config /mnt/usr/bin/fw_printenv /mnt/usr/bin/fw_setenv /mnt/usr/share/dby echowarrior108 - uBoot

Re: environment issues pogoplug pro v3 - 3 years ago
on this box i am actually running the sata ide drive, I only messed with the settings enough to get the drive to work properly and you are right it needs a bunch of cleaning up to be usable. get back to you on that:) yes it is a pro v3 followup, I think I will do a complete reinstall on this box including uboot. then I will have a full working model to use as example to repair the working oby echowarrior108 - uBoot
environment issues pogoplug pro v3 - 3 years ago
I am sure I am not the only one who occasionally goes too far and messes up my system to the point that the normal expected things just don't work so I will start with my current env issue and anyone who has issues in the envs can feel free to add their issues here as well. I will start with the most important thing which is my printenv which bodhi has needed to point out to me on occasion aby echowarrior108 - uBoot

Re: Pogo V3 Pro internal Dual SD Card (USB 2.0) using mPCIe slot - 3 years ago
I'm gonna run a fresh install from the sata setup and then boot from that and test the sd fsck the original card and see if it shows any issues, thanks for feedback!by echowarrior108 - uBoot

Re: [tutorial] Making a RAID1 rootfs - 3 years ago

Re: Pogo V3 Pro internal Dual SD Card (USB 2.0) using mPCIe slot - 3 years ago
Probably something I did early on when I first started, just hadn't had a need to try it for a long time mainly because I mostly use serial for almost everything, in fact all my devices have same issue and since they were copies of the original I bet I screwed it up when you first helped me get it up and running and I never tried it again,lol will I need to reboot to make it work?

Re: Pogo V3 Pro internal Dual SD Card (USB 2.0) using mPCIe slot - 3 years ago
this is a continuation, the first is the power lead plugged in. note: it is crucial that the red is 5v, the yellow is 12v and the black are both ground! The third pic is of the back with the wiring coming out as well as the 2 5tb hdds attached, I did test the sata with an ssd drive which worked hyperfast! but for now I have my original setup with the duel mpcie setup for rootfs.
