Just to let everyone know that the system has been working fine all this time, with problems now and then related to changes in IP address on my local network that require updating the fstab file on Arch Linux and fiddling with the not-too-user-friendly SoA interface.
Then about two weeks ago the Wandboard suddenly became unfindable on the network. I wrote to TechNexion's tech support and their answer was, basically "Your device is not under warranty and it would cost you a lot to send it to Taiwan for diagnosis, so we suggest you just buy a new one." That's all. No other advice to give. I saw on a Wandboard forum that the power supply can go, so I tested mine and sure enough it was bad. I replaced it with a decent-quality multi-voltage supply (still under 20 including shipping) so I'd have something I could use elsewhere if the Wandboard turned out to be dead. But as soon as I plugged in the new power supply the device became visible again and can be contacted via WinSCP. You would think that Wandboard tech support would have at least suggested swapping out the power supply, especially since people on their own forum systematically suggest that as a first step. And you would think they would be wary of the impact an answer like the one they gave me can have on their brand image. Apparently not. Unfortunately my ReadyNAS NV+ has also stopped working, so until I get that sorted out I won't be able to see if my LMS on Wandboard + SoA + ReadyNAS NV+ is still much faster than LMS on ReadyNAS NV+ alone.
