Hi Fourdee,
How did you apply the rootfs on USB drive, was this with dietpi-drive_manager, or manually?
I used the the Community Tutorial “Move the filesystem to a USB Drive” by K-Plan [Tutorial - Outdated] Odroid: - Move the filesystem to a USB Drive ==> so I did it manually.
May be a power issue.
- Are these powered by USB, or 3.5inch with dedicated PSU’s?
- Which PSU are you running for the board (eg: 5v/6a)?
- Are the USB <> Sata converters built into the USB drive case (eg: WD elements), or third party (eg: you purchased a 2.5 inch drive, then a USB <> Sata converter with case)?
The 3 USB-Drives are connected to an active hub, which I already used before I did the reinstall of DietPi - worked without problems. The power should be more than sufficent. 2 drives are “whole in one-solutions” (eg :WD elements), one is a third party (as you mentioned) solution.
It may also be worth disabling HDD spindown on /dev/sda1 and re-testing. Possibly the drive/USB converter doesn’t “like” it.
Disable the following lines in /etc/hdparm.conf, then reboot:
I disabled hdparm as you suggested.
BTW: You mentioned that the filesystem may be corrupted:
I need to redo our XU4 image as I believe it may contain a filesystem corruption. Once thats done, would you be willing to reinstall and re-test?
Maybe that is the problem because I still have crashes/freezes after 20-30h of operations although cloudshell is disabled
