Pogoplug Mobile - Boot delay prior to USB detection

[skywiselh]

Howdie,

So I was able to get the Pogoplug Mobile working and it is now operating as a NAS with local revision backup and nightly Cyphertite backups via cron jobs. The only issue I currently encounter is the fact that if both the USB hard drive and the Pogoplug are powered up at the same time (from proper shutdown), the Pogoplug does not detect the USB drive - only the controller. If I power the USB drive about 10 seconds prior to the Pogoplug, it detects the controller, the drive and boots. I already tried 'fw_setenv bootdelay 15' without success - is there a way to have the pogoplug wait for 10 seconds prior to USB detection?

Thanks!

Has anyone found an answer to this issue? I also have an issue booting off a WD usb 3.0 1TB drive. I put a powered USB hub between the pogoplug and the drive so the drive was 'spooled up' before the pogoplug was turned on and it would boot, however I cannot keep the setup like this and would like a solution on the device to solve the issue.
