[Resolved] Problem restoring Pogoplug pro to factory blparam

Sorry for being a noob, but I've done my best but can't figure out what I'm doing wrong here. I'm getting same error at this line:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', ' mount -t ubifs -o ro ubi0:rootfs /tmp/ce ')
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'mount: unknown filesystem type 'ubifs'')

In one response, WarheadsSE said $this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'W')hats wrong, is whatever you did, you didn't properly revert. ubifs is not built into the ALARM kernel, but is for the CE kernel.
You're booting the wrong kernel.

I am a complete novice too, but it seems that the ubifs format is not built in to ArchLinux. The script probably has to be run from the Pogoplug's built in kernel. I would assume that you need to start your Pogoplug without the usb drives and connect to it (ssh, or serial) and run that command.

@joecho5: nope. Arch has ubifs support

How to re-obtain those files is in this forum. A search is all that is needed.

@WarheadsSE, I've done lots of search on this forum and read different posts you and others have posted to resolve this, but unfortunately, I'm not able to fix this one. I'm following steps you mentioned in the following code but get stuck on the mount ubifs step. Could you atleast point me where's the code to get the necessary file. Much appreciated!!!

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '# premake the destination
mkdir -p /usr/local/cloudengines/bin
# make tmp mountpoint
mkdir /tmp/ce
# mount NAND fs.
mount -t ubifs -o ro ubi0:rootfs /tmp/ce
# copy what we need
cp /tmp/ce/usr/local/cloudengines/bin/blparam /usr/local/cloudengines/bin/
cp /tmp/ce/usr/local/cloudengines/bin/xce.ko /usr/local/cloudengines/bin/
cp /tmp/ce/usr/sbin/nandwrite /usr/local/cloudengines/bin/
cp /tmp/ce/usr/sbin/flash_erase /usr/local/cloudengines/bin/
# unmount
umount /tmp/ce
# DONE.')

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('bonnyem', 'I')'m following steps you mentioned in the following code but get stuck on the mount ubifs step. C

[bonnyem]

When I get to this step

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', ' mount -t ubifs -o ro ubi0:rootfs /tmp/ce ')

I get error $this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'm')ount: unknown filesystem type 'ubifs'

Any ideas anyone???

@WarheadsSE thanks for the education

@bonnyem I had a similar problem after destroying pacman, wget and ssh I just extracted the rootfs onto another flash drive and rebooted the pogoplug. I learned a lot more about Linux after I got myself into such an embarrassing situation.
