Seagate GoFlex Home

1. Set up a user in the device's web interface. If needed, perform a full reset by holding the reset button for at least 10 seconds.
2. With the device on and online, SSH in to the GoFlex Home.
   
   1. Take note of the IP address associated with the device.
   2. Take note of the product key located on the bottom of the unit, it will be in the format XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX.
   3. Replacing USERNAME with the user you have set up in the Home's web interface, and using that user's password, SSH in:
      ssh USERNAME_hipserv2_seagateplug_XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX@GOFLEX_HOME_IP
3. Gain root access:sudo -E -s
4. Stop multiple daemons so they don't interfere with the install process (you can copy/paste):killall -9 mynetworkd access-patrol seagate-lifecycle oe-spd xinetd udevd httpd avahi-daemon smbd nmbd vsftpd afpd minidlna mt-daapd check_igd.pl igd-daemon
5. Turn off swap:/sbin/swapoff -a
6. Unmount the SATA drive so it can be formatted:while [ `mount | grep sda1 | wc -l` -gt 0 ]; do umount -f /dev/sda1; done
7. Verify the drive is no longer mounted by looking for /dev/sda1 in the mount list:mount
8. Start fdisk to partition the SATA drive:
   /sbin/fdisk /dev/sda
9. At the fdisk prompt, delete old partitions and create a new one:
   
   1. Type o. This will clear out any partitions on the drive.
   2. Type p to list partitions. There should be no partitions left.
   3. Now type n, then p for primary, 1 for the first partition on the drive, and then press ENTER, to accept the default value for the beginning of the partition and +20G for the next prompt.
   4. Create a partition for the remainder of the drive. Type n, then p for primary, 2 for the second partition on the drive, and then press ENTER to accept the rest of the default values.
   5. Exit by typing w.
10. Create the ext3 filesystem:
    cd /tmp wget http://archlinuxarm.org/os/pogoplug/mke2fs chmod 755 mke2fs ./mke2fs -j /dev/sda1 mkdir alarm mount /dev/sda1 alarm
11. Download and install Arch Linux ARM:
    cd alarm wget http://archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinuxARM-armv5te-latest.tar.gz tar -xzvf ArchLinuxARM-armv5te-latest.tar.gz # This will take a long time rm ArchLinuxARM-armv5te-latest.tar.gz sync # Takes a while if you are using a flash drive
12. Unmount the drive:
    cd .. umount alarm
13. Download the U-Boot Install Toolkit (UBIT) environment
    cd /tmp wget http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/goflex/v0.6/uInitrd wget http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/goflex/v0.6/ubit_start chmod +x ubit_start
14. Start the UBIT environment where the prompt will read: ubit0-6:~#
    ./ubit_start
15. Update the U-Boot bootloader and move a copy of the OE U-Boot into unused NAND memory:
    chain_install goflexhome chain_revert uboot_uptodate
16. You need to set your MAC address to the what's on the sticker on the bottom of the device
    ethaddr uu:vv:ww:xx:yy:zz
17. Install the rescue system
    on /dev/sda1 ubit_write
18. Mark the partition with the special label "rootfs":
    tune2fs -L "rootfs" /dev/sda1
19. Leave the UBIT shell, and reboot into Arch Linux ARM
    exit /sbin/halt
20. Wait for the machine to shut down (about 1-2 minutes). Then physically power cycle the unit using the power switch on back or unplugging the unit.

First reboot
On first reboot, there are a few housekeeping items to attend to.

• Log in with user/password: root/root
• Run a full system update:
  pacman -Scc # answer yes to both questions pacman -Syyuf
• Install a package needed by the rescue system:
  pacman -Sy cpio
• Set your local timezone:
  nano /etc/rc.conf # Change the TIMEZONE to any of the zones listed in /usr/share/zoneinfo unless you live in Chicago.
• Install openntpd to set the current date and time:
  pacman -S openntpd
• Finally reboot and the system will change to its permanent MAC address and be ready for general use.
  reboot
