Pogoplug E02 No SSH access after reboot Orange front LED

[makuab]

Something keeps messing it up. I reinstalled arch after wiping the USB stick and then I rebooted it after changing the host name. I checked my router again and it wasn't on the list of dhcp clients, and I wasn't able to ssh into it. I then ran fsck again on my laptop and tried again and I can now ssh into it. So every time I reboot it the filesystem is getting corrupted or something.


EDIT: I don't know what's going on. It's not every time, if I don't change anything then it reboots fine.
EDIT: So it restarts fine when I don't install anything. I just installed sudo and now it's not working again. I don't understand what is causing this.

Run "sync" before you reboot,
Make sure it's mounting the drive as ext3

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('moonman', '.')..don't forget to change U-Boot (bootloader) variable "usb_rootfstype" to ext3
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '/usr/sbin/fw_setenv usb_rootfstype 'ext3'')

The command is for nand boot. If you want to do it in alarm, then install uboot-env and issue the command without specofying the full path to it "fw_setenv..."

I did the command to make sure it's mounting as ext3, then it booted fine. After that I installed sudo and did /sbin/reboot and it wouldn't boot again. I ran fsck on it and now it's working again. I'm assuming something is causing it to become corrupted.

Using the Sync command seems to be working when I reboot after installing or changing something. But just now I rebooted and it didn't boot to arch, it booted to the pogobox shell or whatever. How can I get it to boot to arch again? The usb stick is still in.

EDIT: I just unplugged the power after using the halt command and then it booted to arch after I plugged it back in.

Conclusion

Problem: Not booting to arch, No IP, Can't SSH to arch
Solution: Make sure the pogo plug is mounting the partition as ext3 with $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '/usr/sbin/fw_setenv usb_rootfstype 'ext3'')pogoplug shell (disconnect your storage)

Make sure your filesystem? isn't corrupted by running $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'sudo fsck /dev/sdb1') on a livecd or another linux machine.

And make sure you run $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'sync') before shutting down or rebooting to prevent it from happening again.

Also shutdown/restart properly with one of these $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '/sbin/shutdown
shutdown now
/sbin/reboot
shutdown -r now
poweroff?
')

I think that covers everything. Thanks for everyone's help

Also the LED is still orange, but I don't think that matters.

poweroff is preferred to halt or shutdown on systemd
