environment issues pogoplug pro v3 (1 reply)

I am sure I am not the only one who occasionally goes too far and messes up my system to the point that the normal expected things just don't work so I will start with my current env issue and anyone who has issues in the envs can feel free to add their issues here as well. I will start with the most important thing which is my printenv which bodhi has needed to point out to me on occasion as I forget sometimes to post and expect answers with little info,lol....please note this is my test plug so the envs may be off from what you have so don't completely rely on this except for a reference and also this plug is running currently from the sata port on an hdd so the printenv reflects that.

now my current issue is that I am unable to get fw_printenv or fw_setenv to work.
I will post later the steps tried and hopefully find a resolution.

consider this a work in progress!!
