I have only just discovered this forum, so apologies if I'm posting in the wrong place...
I have been using a Seagate GoFlex Home unit for several years and had read that it was possible to install one's own operating system on it after reading https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5/seagate-goflex-home. I didn't want to mess with my unit as it was doing a reasonable job as a SAMBA server, but eventually decided to get a second dock to experiment with and managed to install Arch Linux, but after trying one or two things I found I was unable to restore the factory settings and it became inaccessible from the network.
On this forum I'm confused by all the different platforms supported and don't know the relationship between dockstar, shiva pogoplug and GoFlex. My question is, is there some software I can install on a USB stick which will enable my unit to boot up and connect to the network? Alternatively can I set up some verbose logging which will output to a logfile which I can examine after removing the USB stick?
