I will start with saying I am not a unix expert but proficient enough to follow instructions.
I have been extensively using Archlinux on my PogoPlug E02 till 2016. My USB drive where I had the alarm installation went bad and I am unable to boot to alarm.
However I am now attempting to do a fresh installation of alarm on a new USB drive on pogoplug E02. I am following the steps from https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv ... 2-pinkgray
I am stuck at the step where bsdtar is extracting the Archlinux Tar
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', './bsdtar -xpf ArchLinuxARM-kirkwood-latest.tar.gz')
I am getting errors $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'bsdtar: Ignoring malformed pax extended attribute')
Based on very little information available on forums I found that I will need bsdtar 3.3+ . The bsdtar currently made available for pogoplug is only 3.1 and is available at http://os.archlinuxarm.org/os/pogoplug/bsdtar
Any idea how I can get bsdtar 3.3 for pogoplug ? I dont think I will be able to recompile the latest bsdtar package using 'make' on my pogoplug.
Any help is appreciated.
