My WD Caviar Green 1.0TB has been making screeching noises and I forgot to send it in. Now I assume it's too late so I figured I'd swap it with a Samsung 840 EVO Series 250GB. I read the manual (p. 144) but it only mentions how to install a new HDD and not an SSD - do I need some sort of additional ...

Oh wow, thanks! I feel like I'm a clueless illiterate, trying to figure this out, at times, haha!

I put a tutorial in the wiki, the only issues remaining are scattered remnants from the default installation and the LED still being lit when device is shut down. Everything else is just peachy.

Excito: Are the files /etc/bubba_auth.xml and /etc/bubba_version vital to the system somehow?

I cleaned up the sources.list but I'm not sure how it should be written in order for aptitude to only download bubba-buttond , bubba3-kernel and bubba3-modules from the stable Excito repository and everything else from the official Debian repository. Any advice?

/dev/mapper/bubba-storage is an lvm partition so I guess that the support for lvm partition was removed with the dependencies to the bubba package. You can most likely install it by hand if you now what to install.
If you are lucky you can do that using chroot from the rescue disk.

Thanks ...

After some more testing I've come to the conclusion that after removing the bubba package (and its dependencies) followed by a reboot the filesystem crashes or can't be mounted correctly. I've messed around with /etc/fstab without any proper results.

Tough call. Attempting to aptitude remove ...

boot from a rescue stick?

Oh wow I thought you meant "reinstall the whole thing" but that was a great idea! I booted the rescue BusyBox thingy, mounted the HDD and activated bootlogd, rebooted, shut it down, booted from rescue and had a peek at the boot log:

boot from a rescue stick?

Haha! :D Yeah my question was a bit silly. No I meant, where did it go wrong? The three necessary bubba packages are still installed, as is openssh. Upon starting the B3 however the LED never changes from purple, is detected by the router and has an IP-adress but doesn't ...

This proved to be more difficult than I thought. Attempting to remove/purge any package at all will result in aptitude stating that it will either remove the bubba package or do nothing. Removal of the bubba package also removes the following:


apache2-mpm-prefork
apache2-utils
apache2.2-bin ...

Thank you Carl! Would you please explain what the bubba-status does, though? The LED is rather nice to have after all.
bubba-status only contains two init scripts, one which is obsolete due to led not blinking on the B3. you don't need it to change the color of the led, as you can work against the ...

This would be snowie's setup after removing all "unnecessary" packages to mimic a Debian netinst setup - basically, the skeleton of a Debian server as I understand it. I marked the Excito packages left for hardware compatibility in red.


adduser

apt-utils
aptitude
base-files
base-passwd

Did you find this list? Any updates on how it went?

I'm mostly interested because I intend to use the NAS as a energy efficient server for education purposes, i.e. sysadmin summer courses. I'm pretty much only interested in the OS, Apache, MySQL et cetera.
