Good evening everyone,
I am new here, unfortunately not for pleasure but because my Cloudbox does not respond anymore.
I want to warmly thanks fvdw for assistance with the forum subscription;
Quick presentation :
43 years old, not in a computer career but have been playing with almost everything since Apple-2C 4 decade ago, so comfortable with linux, networking, windows of course and able to use soldering iron.
So for my problem :
My good old Lacie Cloudbox 2To WITH LACIE FIRMWARE has been running strong since year, mainly as a media vault and Mac time capsule with wake on lan startup when needed a scheduled shutdown every night. So it spend most of it's time off waiting for wake up.
When i came back home after 15 days abroad i found the Box ON, not responding to power button (tu turn it OFF), not responding on it's web interface, not answering on shared folder, and slowly FLASHING BLUE.
1. I have tried factory reset.
2. I have then found Plugout forum, register and download Console.
3. Try to start U-boot Console : No Joy
4. Remove the drive from casing:
4.1 try the disk on my linux set : can see all partitions (8), have not try to mount RAID module yet, but it might work.
4.2 try U-boot console with disk remove : It works .
4.2.1 load KirkWood stand alone kernel : It 's loading, but not starting and freeze at "Starting Kernel ..."
4.3 restart, Hot plug the drive right after U-boot console catch the unit ("Press enter" stage) : PRINTENV can see the drive . IDE RESET can see the drive too.
What do you guys think ?
there s several thing i want to do :
1. recover my data from the drive (directly from the unit or via my linux desktop setup)
2. Save my cloudbox unit if possible either with FVDW-SL or factory firmware wathever will work.
Many thanks in advance
