Try the bottom port in the back instead. In fstab it may be better to use uuid instead of /dev/sdx stuff. To get uuid issue "blkid". and in fstab use UUID=<YOUR UUID> instead of /dev/sdx business. I am on the phone atm so cant really say more.

Just a reminder, fstab rules are used at boot or manual mount, for automounting drives hooked after boot install udev-automount - it will add own rules in /etc/udev/rules.d dir.

It appears that I finally got it working using UUID in the fstab configuration and plugging the boot drive in the bottom last port of the PogoPlug.. After pulling the power plug and plugging all 3 drives in, the PogoPlug booted and mounted the two other drives.. Much thanks Moonman!
Sambul13: I will keep that in mind ! Thanks!

I did a pacman -Su and then updated everything except the gcc on my armtel devices and when I was done I entered the command poweroff. Today I plug in my pogoplug and the usb drive is corrupt. The horror is I have the same thing with my 2TB hard drive in my Zyxel NSA325., I plugged the USB stick then the hard drive into my linux laptop and BOTH have the same error:

# fsck /dev/sdc1
fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2
e2fsck 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
fsck.ext2: Superblock invalid, trying backup blocks...
fsck.ext2: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdc1

The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>


now I have 2 bricked devices, and a scrapped 2TB drive.

I finally figured out what was causing the problems with my stuttering movies which I always thought to be network related. I plugged the drive onto my Ubuntu OS and performed a hard disk analysis. Apparently it is having errors reading, and it warns me that I have imminent hard drive failure to come. Thankfully, the drive is just under its one year warranty and I'm replacing it. I also ditched the Pogoplug and went with a Zyxel NSA320 that I picked up for $75..

Maybe that's why your pogoplug was acting up and U-Boot didn't flash porperly?

It wasn't my boot drive, just an external ext3 formatted drive with my movies on it.. Strangely enough, the Zyxel NSA320 gives me some great transfer speeds over my network utilizing the replacement external drive formatted to NTFS.. On the Pogoplug I was only able to achieve 5-6MBs on a NTFS drive..

The massively extra memory affords a lot of that.
