You could try this kernel: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096 I don't have 2 SATA disks plugged in to do the test, so not sure if the sata_mv patch will fix this problem.by bodhi - Debian

qdftowner, Thanks for the info. But strange, "vers=3" did not work for me, the kernel rejected it as an option in the command line. I'm running 3.8.11. When I use v3, it was accepted.by bodhi - uBoot

This is good if you'll use this as a NAS, since you can use the SATA port . Not as good as Pogo E02 if you're using some other CPU-intensive service because CPU is slower and less RAM. A cheapest plug is Pogo E02, for a box running all these: DLNA/uPnp ,server, torrent, and Samba. Of course the disk intensive function with USB will be not as fast as SATA, but since you are running moby bodhi - Off-Topic
syong, It is strange that the NSA310 has one-bay but usually cost more than the NSA320. As far as I can tell the only other different in configuration is the eSATA port on the NSA310. Is there any other difference that you're aware of?by bodhi - Debian

Not so good news! It does not seem latest uBoot version 2013.04 has support for GPT disk > 2TB yet.

Was uBoot installation part done successfully? You could take the stick to another Linux box, and try to format it to make sure it is good. dmesg showed errors with the stick. You can rerun the installation again with another USB stick. If uBoot was installed OK then it will detect that and skip it. But respond to the question to restore envs with YES. In any case, pls post the complete loby bodhi - Debian
Try unplug the USB stick and plug it back in. Check to see if it was detected: dmesg If it was then fdisk -lby bodhi - Debian

It seems your USB rootfs is ext2? If your rootfs is ext3, and the uBoot env for rootfstype is ext2, then it should boot fine. But not the other way around. So check to see if your rootfs is indeed ext2 then make it ext3. And change rootfstype back to ext3.by bodhi - Debian
syong, Yeah, I use Samba because it's much more convenient. So I trade a little speed gain of nfs for that. And I needs smbnetfs to copy files from Linux servers to any OS flavor (OSX, Windows, Linux) in the network using command line. I like smbnetfs because it discovers and automounts Samba shares. The box used for building kernel runs 3.6.11 kernel and boot from HDD, the other boxesby bodhi - Debian
syong, I'm not sure file system is the problem. IIRC, it behaves the same way even when copying files between identical systems. I boot all my boxes with the clones of the same stick, except the system used for building kernel. But it's a good suggestion, I will test that theory.by bodhi - Debian
Which Pogoplug do you have? Did you keep the installation log? If you can log in to Pogo OS, I'd suggest to install netconsole first (you can see more info about the problem): http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,14by bodhi - Debian
@sxk, > I guess it > is not even coming to sysvinit. > I think you're right, the LED indicated that you have not got to the point where the system is loading rootfs. So as shv mentioned above, make sure the partition on USB is ext3, active, and labeled "rootfs".

I've been using smbnetfs to transfer files using cp command across multiple Debian servers. Everything works great, copying files never failed. But there is a problem with preserving date and time, and I could not find a reason why or any solution for it (perhaps my Google-fu is not up to par ? :) Example: root@Dockstar:/localdisk/linux# cp -a /media/net/WORKGROUP/TLDDEBIAN/localdisk/by bodhi - Debian
duduke, As mentioned above and in other uBoot threads, I'm stuck at a netconsole problem. Even with the latest version (2003.04), I'm seeing this problem in my build.
