And I should be able to run fsck from a telnet session (running off the Unslung firmware)?
Sorry for the obvious question... it's been a long time since I didn't have a system that I'd modified on an external flash drive...
Thanks again...

I think fsck would call e2fsck after it detects the file system. Shouldn't make a difference.On Tue, Feb 17, 2015 at 10:03 PM, 'M.J. Johnson' threeeyedtoad@gmail.com [nslu2-general] <nslu2-general@yahoogroups.com> wrote:Thanks, will give that a go.
Is there any real difference between e2fsck and fsck? This article seems to indicate not...Thanks again for the quick reply...

I'm going out on a limb, but could it be that it's not mounting because it needs to be checked?Look into doing an e2fsck on your drive, once there are no errors reboot and see if that helps.On Tue, Feb 17, 2015 at 9:43 PM, 'M.J.

This weekend, I suffered a power outage, and wasn't able to SSH after the Slug came back up. After some diagnostics, I discovered the IP address had reset to the factory default (192.168.1.77), and although I could access the web interface, I couldn't change the IP settings (kept getting the dreaded "Error: fail to get samba information".)After poking around, I realized I had this problem...So... I used telnet to connect to RedBoot (http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/TelnetIntoRedBoot), reset/recreated the SysConf area (http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/ResetSysConf), and re-flashed using Upslug2 to Unslung 6.10.After all that, I'm successfully Unslung - but can only boot from internal flash. I haven't been able to get the system to boot from my existing, 7 year old external flash drive.What am I missing? Is there some step I need to do to get the system to again be okay with booting from my external flash drive? I don't want to start from scratch on a new boot disk, since I've configured this system to work well for my purposes.Help?
