When I just opened the package of B01 and start running oxnas-install.sh, I found that the file $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '/usr/sbin/nanddump')
doesn't even exist!
so that these two lines$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
cp /usr/sbin/nanddump usr/local/cloudengines/bin/
/usr/sbin/nanddump -o -f mtd1.dump /dev/mtd1
')
can't be successfully executed.
I was able to install the OXNAS/ALARM at the end, and roughly speaking the ArchLinux system is running well. But I have some concern over the fact that I didn't fully back up the stock NAND/MTD1...

You're fine. Really. Search this subforum, it's been addressed multiple times.

All I found is this:

Your suggestion is that I should have had mtd-utils installed before running the oxnas-install.sh in order to create a backup of the old nand, right?

except, you can't since it's not installed.
Also, again, you're fine. Once ALARM is installed, you can back it up again...

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('WarheadsSE', 'e')xcept, you can't since it's not installed.
Why I can't install it? because the original Pogoplug OS forbids users from installing any 3rd party package?
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('WarheadsSE', 'A')lso, again, you're fine.
Yes, yes I know.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('WarheadsSE', 'O')nce ALARM is installed, you can back it up again...
How? I mean, I see
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
echo "# Erasing mtd1 @ 0x500000 for 17 erase blocks (kernel location)"
/usr/sbin/flash_erase /dev/mtd1 0x500000 17
echo "# Erasing mtd1 @ 0xB00000 for 17 erase blocks (2nd kernel location)"
/usr/sbin/flash_erase /dev/mtd1 0xB00000 17
echo "# - @ 0x500000"
/usr/sbin/nandwrite -p -s 0x500000 /dev/mtd1 /tmp/usb/boot/uImage.nopci
echo "# - @ 0xB00000"
/usr/sbin/nandwrite -p -s 0xB00000 /dev/mtd1 /tmp/usb/boot/uImage.nopci
')
which makes me assume that the original kernel image on the original NAND flash has been erased and overwritten. If I make a back it up after ALARM is installed, the backup will be the OXNAS/ALARM one, rather than the original one.
