I just got my Goflex Net a couple of weeks ago, and at first I was thinking of putting openwrt on it. But after googling around I read that debian/openmediavault was a better choice.
I have through some of the (outdated) guides out there, and had a few headaches along the way. .. getting the blinking orange led, making an usb_rescue and installed the rescue system to the flash. Started with squeeze and clearing out all the dependencies in order to install openmediavault. And to my joy it did install in the end. But I couldnt get any webgui, and after reboot ssh was closed, even though I tried to enable it in the config.xml file.
Then I started over again, wiping my usb stick and using the latest rootfs in this thread. And I have gooten to the point where I can install OMV ver. 1.19. But still I cant get any webgui working.
I wish there was an updated guide for installing openmediavault on this thing, based images available today.
Or at least if someone could post a ready made img file with omv working, ready to write to an usb stick.
Does anybody know the easiest way to get OMV working on this thing, please let me know.
Secondly, I have another question, pehaps easier to answer..
I did try to install a hdd on my goflex, and found that it failed to boot from usb if a hdd was present. But there was a fix available, forcing it to boot only from a device with a certain label, eg "rootfs"
This is working, but I found that it also breaks booting from the rescue system on the unit.
How can I reset that, in case I want to go back to the state before binding it to boot from rootfs?
Here is the output of fw_printenv
