[Resolved] Problem restoring Pogoplug pro to factory blparam

[Hatter]

First of all, I will admit to having verry little experience with linux. I've installed archlinux, but temporarily wish to revert to the standard pogoplug pro software.

I downloaded the oxnas-revert.sh to /tmp/ and attempted to execute it but receive the following error:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'ABORTING!!! Cannot locate blparam
=================================
/usr/local/cloudengines/bin/blparam must exist
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[root@Plug tmp]# /usr/local/cloudengines/bin/blparam must exist')

I know enough to tell that isn't great

Any able to help with fixing this?

2 things here:
- those files are missing, so we'll have to grab them off the nand
- I really should make a "switch between" script.. The oxnas-revert assumes you want to entirely remove it.

I did look at get the files from the pogo plug site, but it looked more than a little beyond me.

A change script would also be nice, but if you could run grabbing the files off the NAND by me first I'd apprciate it.

Thanks

Grabbing the files off nand.. yeah, that should be script-able too. It's documented somewhere here in the forums.

Grab bag of scripts I need to do when I get time:
- re-grab files from NAND when not present after installation (or re-installation)
- revert-to-pogo (minus removing our kernel from NAND, and saving config)
- back-to-alarm (from saved config)

I'm having troubble finding the documentation on the nand on the forum, it might be my newb-ness though.

[WarheadsSE]

let me summarize the bits that are around the forum into one complete sequence:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
# premake the destination
mkdir -p /usr/local/cloudengines/bin
# make tmp mountpoint
mkdir /tmp/ce
# mount NAND fs.
mount -t ubifs -o ro ubi0:rootfs /tmp/ce
# copy what we need
cp /tmp/ce/usr/local/cloudengines/bin/blparam /usr/local/cloudengines/bin/
cp /tmp/ce/usr/local/cloudengines/bin/xce.ko /usr/local/cloudengines/bin/
cp /tmp/ce/usr/sbin/nandwrite /usr/local/cloudengines/bin/
cp /tmp/ce/usr/sbin/flash_erase /usr/local/cloudengines/bin/
# unmount
umount /tmp/ce
# DONE.
')

Thankyou. I tried the search tool, but the strings were too short. Will give it a go...

[WarheadsSE]

Again.. that's how to get the files back.. but you might want to not use *all* of the oxnas-revert script.. aka, skip the kernel erasing bits.

Oh, and record your current settings.

[Hatter]

Sorry:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'mount: unknown filesystem type 'ubidf'')

I feel like the problem child!

[WarheadsSE]

Lol.. typo..
should read ubifs (fixing in original)
