Where are the package installation instructions?

Postby Kamen » Tue Jan 15, 2013 9:35 pm

A few months ago I setup my Pogoplug B01, including samba and DLNA servers, following the simple instructions that were under the "Support" tab. Now that I got a second Pogoplug (an E02 v2), I noticed that all those are gone and instead there are references to wikis and FAQs (including the Pacman Rosetta) that are probably much more comprehensive and accurate than those other instructions, but are not nearly as convenient and easy to sort through. The latter had some sample configurations and some general advice, while the former are more like a complete reference. For example, there is no "media" folder for the mounted drives. Do I need to install an automount package? Which one and how to configure it? Similar procedures were addressed there, which would save the forums from trivial questions.

Is it possible to still find the old instructions anywhere?

Those instructions were outdated, especially because of the switch to systemd.

You can still find them here, for example but you will probably still have to read through official ones to understand how to do certain things with systemd.

Admittedly, the oxnas based devices are still on sysvinit & thus rc.d/scripts

Thank you!

So, my v2 is still on init, I can still follow those instructions like on my Classic?

I just want to setup some parameters, like hostname, swap partition, enable automount, and then install samba, DLNA, WWW server.

V2 is on systemd, what you call classic is V3 or oxnas device. I think V2 is more classic than V3 :)

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('moonman', 'V')2 is on systemd, what you call classic is V3 or oxnas device. I think V2 is more classic than V3 :)

Well, I go by the description on the product page (http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5/pogoplug-v2-pinkgray); there it says that my POGO-E02 model is supposed to be "Pogoplug v2"; and at http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv6/pogoplug-provideov3, where the description is "POGO-B01 - Classic".
I'm not sure anymore which is which. How do I know, so that I can proceed with the installation?

I suspect that enabling automonut should work the same: $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -Sy udev-automount') Making the swap partition should also be the same: $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile.img bs=1M count=512 #for a 1GB swapfile, use count=1024
mkswap /swapfile.img') followed by $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'swapon /swapfile.img') The bigger question is the other packages (samba, DLNA, WWW) and their configuration. I'd appreciate some insight on this.

If you are planning on using ntfs with automount then use devmon.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('moonman', 'I')f you are planning on using ntfs with automount then use devmon.

Sir, would you spare some code (for devmon, that is)?

Thank you, very much. So, I checked polling and it seems to be working (twice per second):
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
cat /sys/module/block/parameters/events_dfl_poll_msecs
')returned "2000". Then, I did the
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
pacman -Sy udevil
systemctl enable devmon@root.service
systemctl start devmon@root.service
') and $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@PPWEB ~]# systemctl status devmon@root.service
devmon@root.service - devmon Service
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/devmon@.service; enabled)
Active: active (running) since Wed, 1969-12-31 18:00:17 CST; 43 years and 0 months ago
Main PID: 124 (devmon)
CGroup: name=systemd:/system/devmon@.service/root
tq124 /bin/bash /usr/bin/devmon
mq325 /usr/bin/udevil --monitor')
Cool, it seems like devmon has been running since I was in kindergarten! ;)
In between I had a scare - after a reboot, the device was stuck (no light) and only after powering everything off (including the external drive) it came back to life. But the problem is, I don't see where the mount point is, there is no /media directory and even though the status light on my USB flash drive (FAT 32) indicates it is connected, I can't see it anywhere. Here's the root listing:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@PPWEB /]# ls -la

Not much info about configuring devmon or udevil that I could find.
Any thoughts?
