Orange Pi One Plus (H6) first steps

Started testing the new Orange Pi One Plus (H6) boards.
Ordered 2x of them. Had one running the Xulong-provided Ubuntu image (16.04.4. LTS, 3.10.65 kernel ...) for about two weeks.

Fired up the second board today and once connected to network, started noticing strange behaviour losing connection to one or other system when doing pings etc.

Quick ifconfig revealed the problem, on eth0 they had the same MAC address.
Not sure if it is driver / modules problem (kernel); but did a quick&dirty fix, added:
hwaddress ether <new_mac_address>

where the <new_mac_address> is a random address that I came up with (which was not present on my network) and voila, that was it, problem solved.

Will be posting here and then experiences & findings on the go.

resize2fs will not do anything in the standard Ubuntu Linux image provided with the board.

You'll have to delete the partition, create again using the same start sector (and extend fully to use the whole sd card), write the partition, reboot and then run resize2fs.
