Help -- PogoPlug not booting from USB drive

[Hypnosis4U2NV]

Any idea why this won't take?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@Pogoplug ~]# fw_setenv usb_rootfstype ext3
bash: fw_setenv: command not found
')

[moonman]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -Sy uboot-env')

[Hypnosis4U2NV]

Thanks! Though still running an error:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@Pogoplug ~]# fw_setenv usb_rootfstype ext3
Cannot parse config file: Invalid argument')

Installing the package said you had to edit the config, right?

[moonman]

Yes, sorry I forgot to mention this.

You need to edit /etc/fw_env.config and uncomment "/dev/mtd2 0x0000 0x20000 0x20000
" (just remove # preceding the line).

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'nano /etc/fw_env.config ')

[Hypnosis4U2NV]

Actually, it doesn't mention it but I really don't understand how or what to do with it when I do open it in an editor..

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '>>> To print u-boot env please use fw_printenv
>> Configuration file located at /etc/fw_env.config
')

EDIT: Nevermind, just saw the post above.. Thanks!

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@Pogoplug ~]# fw_setenv usb_rootfstype ext3
Warning: Bad CRC, using default environment
')

Ok comment out the first one and uncomment the second one. I can't remember which one you need for your device.

[Hypnosis4U2NV]

OK, that got it to work.. I guess the Seagate Dockstar was the one that needed uncommenting.. Now off to do the tune2fs..

Tried that command after unmounting the drive but it gave me an error:

83 is EXT3 I assume..

A couple of questions:
I had the Boot Drive plugged in the USB port in the front of the Pogoplug, plugged the other 2 drives in the back and it didn't boot.. Do I use the rear top USB port for the boot drive?

I plugged in just the boot drive in the top rear USB port by itself and then plugged in the other 2 drives after it booted from the drive (same scenario as I was having before converting it to ext3) but the 2 drives did not auto-mount.. In Webmin, I mounted them and set them to mount at boot and saved.. Is there anything funny you can see with the settings below:



Here is my fstab configuration:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '#
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /media/Elements ext3 user 0 0
/dev/sdc1 /media/Maxtor ext3 user 0 0
')

Should I add "auto" or "default" for the options of those drives?
