Goflex Net with Kernel 5.15.55 and Debian 11.4 on USB

Posted by Fabio 
Preamble:
I created an emergency usb stick with debian 11.4 (via deboostrap) and the linux kernel 5.15.55 compiled by myself using the bodhi patches for the 5.15.x kernel. and the configuration he provided without changing anything.
Starting the USB key I have a repeated series of these messages after which the system freezes without any further message (monitoring takes place via netconsole)

There is no need to fix. It's an information message about mtd block device only, not an error.

I've removed this noisy log since kernel linux-5.16.5-kirkwood-tld-1.

The problem is that booting from sata this is only a noisy log, but booting from USB the log is flooded by these messages and the system hangs.
I prefer to stick with the long-term versions of the kernel and, thanks to your work, recompile the latest stable kernel version from time to time

The kernel behaves oddly with USB, vs SATA. But that should be a different issue. The bottom line is that it does not recognize that there is no ECC used on these old Kirkwood boxes.

So there is no possibility to create an emergency boot usb stick with the latest version of the 5.15.x series kernel?

I regconized that. You've chosen 5.15 because it is an LTS kernel.

So you need to do what I did since kernel linux-5.16.5-kirkwood-tld-1: move the MTD block out to loadable module.

root@HomeBackup:/boot# grep CONFIG_MTD_BLOCK config-5.15.5-kirkwood-tld-1 
CONFIG_MTD_BLOCK=y
# CONFIG_MTD_BLOCK2MTD is not set

root@HomeBackup:/boot# grep CONFIG_MTD_BLOCK config-5.16.5-kirkwood-tld-1 
CONFIG_MTD_BLOCK=m
# CONFIG_MTD_BLOCK_RO is not set
# CONFIG_MTD_BLOCK2MTD is not set

This way the kernel will not scan the NAND MTD devices during boot.

Thanks so much bodhi. Tomorrow I'll try to recompile the kernel with your suggested configuration and I'll let you know
P.S
remains the problem with auto negotiation of the ethernet interface discussed in another thread

I think it might be a problem introduced in the later stable 5.15.x. I've verified that 5.15.5-kirkwood-tld-1 does not have this problem.

However, the curiosity remains to me to understand why starting from sata everything works (apart from the boring messages) while starting from USB the system crashes. I noticed that the initrd generated for USB is a bit bigger than the one generated for sata (?)

In fact this problem started showing me intermittently with version 5.15.34. However, I don't compile all the versions of this series, so I don't know when the problem started. The fact remains that with version 5.15.55 the problem is persistent
In any case, these small, now dated but much loved machines have served me very well for many years: AFP (netatalk) and SMB (samba) sharing of all my multimedia libraries (thanks to the support of the port multiplier I was able to connect external esata cases with different slots), TimeMachine backup, Video streaming (tvheadend), dns server, dhcp server, directory server (OpenLdap), wi-fi access points, mpd server for bit perfetc audio playback etc. etc. etc.
At the moment the only modern alternative to these machines, also in terms of costs, seems to me to be the odroid hc4 ...
... In the face of those who say that certain solutions are not reliable or enterprise level. 10 years 24H/7 always on

I would not try to solve this auto negotiation in 5.15.x. You can just log in again. Unless using this in a script, it should be a very minor annoyance, not worth spending time on.

No, I cannot log in again as the network is down and the only solution is to remove the power and reconnect it. Anyway the pre-up command in network interfaces resolve the problem disabling auto negotiation
I tried to recompile the kernel with the configuration "CONFIG_MTD_BLOCK = m" as suggested by bodhi. The kernel hangs before mounting the root partition. I'm probably doing something wrong in creating the USB image in Ubuntu.
This is the log until it stops:

I tried to recompile the kernel with the configuration "CONFIG_MTD_BLOCK = m" as suggested by bodhi. The kernel hangs before mounting the root partition. I'm probably doing something wrong in creating the USB image in Ubuntu.

Yes,

usb-storage 4-1:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected

bodhi's corner (buy bodhi a beer)
I recreated the USB stick on the Goflex Net itself: same problem and same log. The log is still identical (same kernel) even when booting from SATA, no sign of "USB Mass Storage device detected". Maybe the problem lies with the M-SATA USB adapter used? I'll try with another USB stick. Once booted from SATA, however, the adapter is correctly recognized with its partitions (/dev/sde1 and / dev/sde2 - root and swap partitions) and I can do anything (partition mounting, reading and writing to the device without errors)

It seems so.

Even more likely so. Once you booted with SATA rootfs, it is easier for the adapter to spin up. We've seen this behavior from time to time, with USB SD adapter card.

In any case uas seems be the correct module for my mSATA usb 3.0 (2.0 compatible) adapter and not usb-storage.
According to the log, this driver is loaded and the device (sde) correctly recognized. I still don't understand where the error is: It should still be in Initramfs (udev rules?), as the uas module is loaded from here.
I look forward to receiving a new USB pen drive to make comparisons.
Since it seems that the problem is in mounting the root partition, for convenience I also report the u-boot configuration variables related to booting via usb

Fabio,

Wow, your installed u-boot is very old. Must be circa 2012. Do in serial console:
ver
printenv

No bodhi, it's your u-boot. I prefer not to use uEnv.text and just rely on a set of environment variables that I have adjusted for each boot type. Also, I prefer to create the kernel images in legacy mode by adding fdt to zImage. I've always done it this way as I only have a few Goflex Net and it has always worked great

I see. The new set of envs are much more robust and not relying on boot type predefined. But if it works with old envs, no need to mess with it!

By the way this rootfstype is no longer necessary. It will be automatically figured out during booting. IOW, if you ever want to boot a rootfs in ext4 then it's best not to specify the fs type explicitly.
usb_rootfstype=ext3

This was the problem! How did I not see it before! Changed usb_rootfstype=ext3 to usb_rootfstype=ext4 and everything works perfectly! In fact, the root file system type is also set to ext4 even for root booting on the ext4 formatted sata raid mirror. In any case, as recommended by you, if the option is not needed I will remove it from the boot arguments.
Thank you so much bodhi.

To think that, several years ago, I had installed your u-boot for the very specific reason that it supported the ext4 file system and gpt partitions! :)

:) If this env has always been that way, then the kernel had always been able to resolve it successfully.

Surely. As for sata, the environment variable has been for years
sataraid_rootfstype=ext4
.
The one related to usb boot is a legacy of an old usb stick that has stopped working for some time. Memory plays tricks on long times
