Installing ArchLinux on Pogoplug:
If you get a B01 or P21, follow this link
http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms...provideov3
Make sure the model number is correct. Go with the model number listed on the label at the bottom of the actual device (not the box).
If you get a E02 instead (which has more RAM), follow this link instead

Note: If you are a Windows user like me, use Putty [earth.li] to SSH into Pogo.
ArchLinux/ARM Installation [archlinuxarm.org]... steps are almost flawless, just make sure to insert the root USB stick in the back-bottom slot
...!
Samba Installation [archlinuxarm.org]...Everything BEFORE "Starting the server" section is correct. For starting the server, run below command from Alarm prompt
systemctl start smbd nmbd
For auto-starting Samba service each time after Pogo is rebooted, run below command only once and then you'll never have to worry about starting Samba manually:-
systemctl enable smbd.service
For USB device/HDD mounting [archlinux.org].
For auto-mounting these devices each time after Pogo is rebooted, run below commands
nano /etc/fstab
Then paste this line ->
UUID="ABCD" /mnt/Songs ntfs defaults 0 0 # Put your device's UUID instead of ABCD. My HDDs are ntfs type. Put your own type if different. Add one line for each device with it's UUID and type (e.g. ntfs). If you don't know the UUID, run this command blkid -o list -c /dev/null
Now just save this file and exit.
Now power off/on Pogo and check if it boots properly in ALARM and if you can access the HDDs over LAN by \\ALARM or \\192.168.x.y where 192.168.x.y is the Pogo's IP address.
Best of luck...!!!

Edit: here are my notes on netconsole:
serverip is the IP that the boot messages will be SENT to
ipaddr will be the IP of your pogoplug OS (before it boots into the usb kernel)
Change those to fit your network topology.
Then use socat, netcat, nc, ncat or whatever to read that network traffic, being sure that firewalls aren't blocking the traffic:
