The guides on switching bootloader from original Pogoplug's to UBoot claim it's still possible booting the original Pogo after detaching the ArchLinux USB Thumb. In my case it keeps blinking, possibly due to the same reason as described in Flashing amber light of doom, and doesn't allow to login. I remember changing DHCP to Static IP on original Pogo system, so may be it caused the error. To fix, I need to mount original Pogoplug file system (PPFS) in ArchLinux ARM on Dockstar. But - mount command gives the error: unrecognized filesystem.
In the thread Pogoplug Filesystem (PPFS) on Linux user Alik Elzin posted an install script allowing to mount original Pogoplug FS in Linux using pogoplugfs filesystem Linux driver, which can be downloaded from Pogoplug site. Also, in the blog Installing Pogoplug Software On Ubuntu 10.10 Server the author suggests to add pogoplugfs file to your home dir, and then run the command in terminal to mount Pogoplug filesystem with fuse:
./pogoplugfs –user [your e-mail address used when registering the Pogoplug] –password [your Pogoplug account password] –mountpoint /media/pogoplug/
Can someone check if adjusting pogoplugfs is needed to run on ArchLinux ARM, and possibly make install script and add it to the ARM repository? Some sources are posted on Pogoplug Open Source page. Everyone interested in restoring or temp switching to original Pogo functionality would appreciate this. No Serial Cable is needed, edit the Pogo filesystem instead!
