Repair usb drive from the pogoplug prompt? [SOLVED]

[guiyoforward]

Hi everyone, I have a botched setup - I need to add the ext3 thingie. Before formatting or re-installing (I had a nice working config before re-booting), is there any way I can repair my usb drive within the pogoplug, or do I need to boot a linux distro on a pc to do that? Im trying to run e2fsck from the popoplug prompt (I can login, and I can mount and see my usb drive) without success, but I'm a total noob with linux anyway.
thanks!

EDIT:
Answering my own question. There's a crucial line missing (IMHO) from the install instructions:
/usr/sbin/fw_setenv usb_rootfstype 'ext3'
To repair botched install: You need login to the pogoplug prompt - remove the usb drive before power on, wait, logon with putty (root/ceadmin or root/root) and then plug your drive. Then:
mkdir /tmp/usb
mount /dev/sda1 usb
/usr/sbin/fw_setenv usb_rootfstype 'ext3'
cd ..
umount /tmp/usb
/sbin/reboot

hope this helps!

You are not repairing the drive with this command, but rather changing the uboot environment variable. So fw_setenv line is enough.
