narwahl,

Do you have an oxnas based board?

[narwhal]

yes. I do. Figured out the ssh issue though. I'm a 30 year networking guy, should have checked the DNS leases. silly thing's lease expired. moved IPaddr's. question still applies I think though. Of the four ports, which is the optimal one to stick my key into (front, back top, or back bottom)?

There is a noted issue with the boot via USB volumes on the Pro (oxnas) line, which is mentioned on the install page

Got it, so a USB connected SATA drive is the best option. I guess the question still applies... How will it know which one? I mean, ALL of my drives are/will-be USB connected SATAs. Don't I need to plug the boot drive into a specific USB port? How will it now which to boot from?

adTHANKSvance!

Actually,

A Sata connected Sata drive is the current, will work every time scenario. For USBs, they may need to have auxiliary HDDs attached after the kernel is started.

OK, guess I'm confused. My Pogo's don't have SATA (or ESATA) ports... does that effectively mean that my OXNAS based one won't ever be a reliable option anyway? in which case I it makes my decision to revert it back to a regular Pogo and make my E02 into my Arch box...

What? The sata port is inside, not exposed.
