Re: CONTEST! Propose your idea and win ProgoPlug Pro (OXNAS) - 10 years ago
Thanks Pazos! very interesting ideas. I've looked into modding the PogoPro before, was thinking I could squeeze the 2.5 SATA HD in the case, but decided not to (not enough ventilation). The hidden SATA port is very nice. Thanks for the info about h5ai :-) I went over to the website and took a peek. It looks really nice.

Re: Still having trouble with a new uboot install - 10 years ago
- The UBoot envs that you've listed are from the stock FW, not the new UBoot envs from the new UBoot. I recall that after you've run install_uboot_mtd0.sh, the correct command to print envs is /usr/sbin/fw_printenv. - Davy's rootfs image does work with arcNumber 3089. So you already got one working. - It's not possible to restore to stock using Seagate FW restore proceduby bodhi - uBoot
Re: Still having trouble with a new uboot install - 10 years ago
"8. set arcnumber via fw_setenv" I'd suggest not to do this, until *after* you have booted into Debian a couple times, and have verified that netconsole works. With arcNumber 2097, the LED won't flash correctly, but you can find the IP address and ping the box to know when it's finished booting. The reason is the stock Debian that you've installed might not have sby bodhi - uBoot

Now we're talking :-) thanks matrix. And thanks kevinvinv, and audiocrush! @matrix, on android, "total commander with the webdav plugin" sounds pretty neat. I'm using Webdav Navigator on iPhone, and also looking for Android webdav client app. Will give it a try, thanks! Keep it coming everybody! it's now to Nov 30th.by bodhi - Debian
Re: Goflex Net Cannot boot with USB - 10 years ago
It looks good now! Do you see the GFNet appears on the network at all? it could be assigned a different IP addr than before. Can you run nmap from a different computer? or look for it in the router web interface. If you run nmap and see the GFNet does appear, then check to see if port 22 is opened. Addendum: I've just noticed this "Linux-3.2.0-4" in your boot log. Itby bodhi - Debian

Re: install_uboot_mtd0.sh halts with unknown md5 checksum - 10 years ago
The USB drive should not effect UBoot installation. If the installation script detects a version of UBoot that was already installed, but did not recognize it, then it would output that warning. But I don't recall that it reports this info when installing from a stock GoFlex Home. Perhaps Seagate GFHome has a different UBoot now? > -bash-3.2# ./fw_printenv > Warning: Bad CRC, usby bodhi - uBoot

Hi guys, As a thank you to Jeff for hosting this site, and has enabled us to have so much fun hacking Linux! I have a spare brand new PogoPlug Pro (OXNAS variant) I bought long ago, that I want to donate to the site. Jeff thought it would be fun to have a contest for ideas that the we can all join in to discuss what's the best use for this box. I will send this Pogoplug Pro to the winnby bodhi - Debian

Re: GoFlex Net: Boot from USB while SATA disks connected - 10 years ago
I think you're confused 2 different approaches using the rootfs label :-) Vlad's approach was tweaking the initrd so that it can boot with UBit. But if you're running UBoot, then no need to hardcode the label name. Just use the env to pass it, and it will work. You can name the rootfs any name you'd want.by bodhi - uBoot

Re: GoFlex Net: Boot from USB while SATA disks connected - 10 years ago
In console mode, to reboot you just do a reset after saveenv. I should not answer the second question. I think if the NAND partitions were flashed using Jeff's UBoot or Davy's UBoot version then the answer is yes. However, it's best that you get confirmation from Jeff or Davy.by bodhi - uBoot
Re: GoFlex Net: Boot from USB while SATA disks connected - 10 years ago
In your situation, you need serial console since you don't have network access. I thought you meant restoring original Uboot while you have a functional system (some people wants to go back to stock). The best thing to do is to connect serial console and then assess the damage :-) see if you can stop the boot process at the count down and then print out the envs. If they are wrong, then yby bodhi - uBoot

Re: GoFlex Net: Boot from USB while SATA disks connected - 10 years ago
In a way :-) since we can plug and unplug any new USB/SATA drives, not just the ones that we have already figured out the UUID or ones defined in fstab. So rootfs label is a very elegant scheme, IMO.by bodhi - uBoot

Re: GoflexHome USB Boot - 10 years ago
You meant you did not get the "Hit any key to stop autoboot" countdown? If you did, try pressing control-j real quick a few times and it should go into the prompt. I would make sure to get the countdown because without it, you can only observe the booting process but can't do anything.
