Hi guys,
Appears to be a great community here for the arm archlinux implementations.
I have a GoFlex Home 1TB which I'm trying to get archlinux online with. However I made a stupid mistake when moving from stock.
I rebooted too early and have a dead unit. I get the flashing green LED and no DHCP/IP load.
I'm trying to make a good USB boot/rescue drive but can't seem to find a set of instructions that works.
I originally followed the guide here http://blog.philippklaus.de/2011/04/ins ... flex-home/ to the "install uboot" section "mke2fs -j /dev/sda1". However I received errors as the filesystem was locked and stupidly rebooted.
I have tried to create a UBIT rescue disk here:http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=4447 but no joy.
Please see the nc sniffed out below:

Any help and advice on creating a rescue disk to allow me to rebuild the on SATA configuration and/or NAND from scratch would be greatly appreciated. Note: Seagate system recovery via USB no longer works either.

Your best bet is to download an Arch ( or other) boot CD, and boot your PC into a linux enviroment.
Then you need to partition the hard drive that is intended for the GF Home, and extract the rootfs. I recommened using the Arch instructions instead of the dated instructions you were following.
http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5/seagate-goflex-home
According to your post, you should have gotten the uboot installed, you are at the point of creating the filesystem, so hopefully the uboot got installed and if you just install the correct rootFS on your drive it should boot.

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the advice.
I assume steps 9 through 12 should suffice on the SATA drive within linux?
Regards

Yes,
Just make sure you are addressing the correct drive, and you don't end up reformating the drive in your PC.
the command "lsblk" will list all the "block devices" connected to the PC.
then change /dev/sda to /dev/sdX ( X being specific to the drive you want to format).
If this is confusing, then make sure you understand before you do anything.

Thanks for the assistance so far.
Finally got the SATA drive visible within my Ubuntu 11.04 setup as /dev/sdb. For some reason the SATA disk would not be detected unless using a boot cd, weird.
However, there is an issue after:
-Deleting the partitions on sdb.
-Created the partitions on sdb as per point 10.
-On running through point 11, I get an error at './mke2fs -j /dev/sda1' of 'bash: ./mke2fs: cannot execute binary file.'
Another user encountered this here: viewtopic.php?f=55&t=2251
Appears to relate to not being able to execute an arm binary on x86.
Any advice?

First mke2fs is going to create the filesystem, make sure you are running it on the correct drive. Above you said /dev/sdb was the drive, but you posted a command for /dev/sda.
You should use the equivalent x86 command. $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1')

Thanks for the tip Tom. Apologies that must have seemed a basic query.
After battling with it for the most of day, I'm finally getting a successful boot with the SATA standalone and functioning SSH.
Two main issues were my Linux PC did not want to recognize the GoFlex SATA drive and my Linux distro did not have bsdtar so had to rebuild a load of packages to make it available. Perhaps there's an alternative, but I wanted to keep to the official instructions after my initial serious lapse in judgment
.
My Kernel output is listed below. Does this look good? Any signs that UBOOT is broken/needs updating?
Just to try to give something back to the great community here that has promptly helped me get back online, I've listed what I did to get things working. Hopefully it will help someone sitting with a door stop as I was a few days ago.

With help from Tom here and a few other forums here's what I did.
In my stupidity, when I was initially moving from stock I followed an outdated arch install guide, ran into problems with the SATA disk not dismounting and powered down the drive before I had setup the partitions/file system on the SATA drive properly.
Essentially the NAND (GoFlex base unit) was starting-up and then looking to the SATA drive to boot the filesystem. As the SATA drive was incorrectly configured the unit was stuck unable to load.
I had replaced the NAND configuration so could no-longer use the seagate USB reflash configuration to get me back to where I started.
To remedy this (as advised by Tom) I removed the SATA drive from the GoFlex enclosure and connected to my Linux PC (via SATA cable). For some reason my Linux PC would not detect the GoFlex SATA drive at all unless I used a Live CD. Once I booted from a live Linux CD (I used Ubuntu 11.04) with the GoFlex drive attached by SATA I was able to run through steps 9 to 12 of the official installation guide (http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5 ... oflex-home).
Note: The guide isn't written for this setup, therefore you have to substitute any sda and sda1 entries for your own device ID. In my case sdb and sdb1 were my device and partition ID's. If you're using Ubuntu the Disk Utility application will list disks and their partitions to allow you to see the device ID's.
Another gotcha is that when completing step 10 and you exit with 'w' I regularly received a message stating that the partition changes could not be written as the drive was in use. Not sure where from but on the third attempt this went through successfully. This also happened less frequently using a Live CD to boot my PC.
After completing step 12 and ensuring the partition wasn't mounted, I removed the SATA disk and plugged back into the GoFlex. Setup the netclient listeners on my Linux PC as per:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'sudo ifconfig eth0:0 10.10.10.5
sudo ifconfig eth0:1 10.10.10.4
sudo ifconfig eth0:2 10.10.10.2')
And then opened 3 terminal windows entering the following into each respectively - nc -lu 10.10.10.5 6666,nc -lu 10.10.10.4 6666,nc -lu 10.10.10.2 6666
The netclient listeners were just for me to watch/monitor the process and catch any errors. Not needed for a good boot.
And ended up with a solid green light on my GoFlex, could see it retrieved an IP from my router and could SSH into the IP using root:root.
Thanks again to the community, particularly Tom for your help on this.
TBP
After battling with it for the most of day, I'm finally getting a successful boot with the SATA standalone and functioning SSH.
Two main issues were my Linux PC did not want to recognize the GoFlex SATA drive and my Linux distro did not have bsdtar so had to rebuild a load of packages to make it available. Perhaps there's an alternative, but I wanted to keep to the official instructions after my initial serious lapse in judgment
.My Kernel output is listed below. Does this look good? Any signs that UBOOT is broken/needs updating?
Just to try to give something back to the great community here that has promptly helped me get back online, I've listed what I did to get things working. Hopefully it will help someone sitting with a door stop as I was a few days ago.

With help from Tom here and a few other forums here's what I did.
In my stupidity, when I was initially moving from stock I followed an outdated arch install guide, ran into problems with the SATA disk not dismounting and powered down the drive before I had setup the partitions/file system on the SATA drive properly.
Essentially the NAND (GoFlex base unit) was starting-up and then looking to the SATA drive to boot the filesystem. As the SATA drive was incorrectly configured the unit was stuck unable to load.
I had replaced the NAND configuration so could no-longer use the seagate USB reflash configuration to get me back to where I started.
To remedy this (as advised by Tom) I removed the SATA drive from the GoFlex enclosure and connected to my Linux PC (via SATA cable). For some reason my Linux PC would not detect the GoFlex SATA drive at all unless I used a Live CD. Once I booted from a live Linux CD (I used Ubuntu 11.04) with the GoFlex drive attached by SATA I was able to run through steps 9 to 12 of the official installation guide (http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5 ... oflex-home).
Note: The guide isn't written for this setup, therefore you have to substitute any sda and sda1 entries for your own device ID. In my case sdb and sdb1 were my device and partition ID's. If you're using Ubuntu the Disk Utility application will list disks and their partitions to allow you to see the device ID's.
Another gotcha is that when completing step 10 and you exit with 'w' I regularly received a message stating that the partition changes could not be written as the drive was in use. Not sure where from but on the third attempt this went through successfully. This also happened less frequently using a Live CD to boot my PC.
After completing step 12 and ensuring the partition wasn't mounted, I removed the SATA disk and plugged back into the GoFlex. Setup the netclient listeners on my Linux PC as per:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'sudo ifconfig eth0:0 10.10.10.5
sudo ifconfig eth0:1 10.10.10.4
sudo ifconfig eth0:2 10.10.10.2')
And then opened 3 terminal windows entering the following into each respectively - nc -lu 10.10.10.5 6666,nc -lu 10.10.10.4 6666,nc -lu 10.10.10.2 6666
The netclient listeners were just for me to watch/monitor the process and catch any errors. Not needed for a good boot.
And ended up with a solid green light on my GoFlex, could see it retrieved an IP from my router and could SSH into the IP using root:root.
Thanks again to the community, particularly Tom for your help on this.

Glad it worked out for you. I've made my share of mistakes on installs, hence my ability to help. For the most part the ALARM installs go pretty easily if you follow the official instructions. There are a couple of gotchas if you don't, and lucky for us both, these devices are pretty tolerant.

Hi Tom, does the final kernel output look good? Any signs that I need to update the UBOOT?
After running pacman to fully update it's dead again so starting from scratch. At least I know the drill now.
Once I get back online, when setting up NFS how do I enable the second partition of 879GB for my NAS share?
The only reasonable instructions I could find are listed on the original (outdated guide :/) as below:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'Set up NFS
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nfs
Install the packages for a NFS server:
pacman -Sy nfs-utils rpcbind
Relevant configuration files:
/etc/conf.d/nfs-common.conf
/etc/conf.d/nfs-server.conf
Arch Linux ARM install Linux automatically mounts all partitions. To get the NAS partition mounted explicitly, add it to /etc/fstab:
/dev/sda3 /NASdata ext3 defaults 0 0
(You might need to create the mountpoint), mount it and change the user rights (anyone may read and write):
mkdir /NASdata
mount /NASdata
chmod 777 /NASdata
Set up the exports using vi /etc/exports to enable network access to the storage:
/NASdata 192.168.1.1/24(rw,async,insecure,no_subtree_check)
This makes the folder writable for all clients in the network 192.168.1.1/24 (192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254).
And allow this network in /etc/hosts.allow:
nfsd: 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
rpcbind: 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
mountd: 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
Start the daemons when booting by adding the list rpcbind, nfs-common und nfs-server to the DAEMONS in /etc/rc.conf. For example:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond sshd openntpd rpcbind nfs-common nfs-server)
Reboot. Now you can mount the folder using:
mkdir mountpoint
mount 192.168.1.42:/NASdata ./mountpoint
')

I can't tell you about the kernel output, that's above my level of knowledge.
If you set up the fstab as I described, the uImage file should be updated automatically.
