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I used the the Community Tutorial “Move the filesystem to a USB Drive” by K-Plan [[Tutorial - Outdated] Odroid: - Move the filesystem to a USB Drive](https://dietpi.com/forum/t/tutorial-outdated-odroid-move-the-filesystem-to-a-usb-drive/328/1) ==\> so I did it manually.

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
