Re: Pogoplug V4 Intermittent Freezing durting boot - 3 years ago
Hi bodhi, that looks like the problem. Moving the swap to the location below seems to boot slightly faster also # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> LABEL=rootfs / ext3 noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0 UUID=a5d66be4-4057-43e9-9e70-d0e5by Rhodess - Debian
Re: Pogoplug V4 Intermittent Freezing durting boot - 3 years ago
I have 2 SanDisk Cruzer Fit USB's. I use an 8Gb as the rootfs, and the second (16Gb) where I have the swapfile and logs. I made all those changes for swappiness and vm.min_free_kbytes, per the previous post. I assume this is the usb with the swapfile (device number 2) that's causing the issue [ 445.258441][ T98] usb 1-1: reset high-speed USB device number 2 using orion-ehciby Rhodess - Debian

Hi bodhi, Occasionally, I try to ssh to Debian and find it locked up for some reason. When I reboot and monitor the boot sequence using screen over the serial input, I see its frozen.

Re: PopoPlug Memory Limitations on Upgrading - 3 years ago
Thanks, i'll try that for now, and maybe later look at mounting on the other USB and use logrotate. I was thinking doing something like this: mkdir -p /media/data/log/ cp -aR /var/log/* /media/data/log mount -o bind /media/data/log /var/log cp /var/webmin/miniserv.log /media/data/log/ mount -o bind /media/data/log/miniserv.log /var/webmin/miniserv.log and then adding something inby Rhodess - Debian
Re: PopoPlug Memory Limitations on Upgrading - 3 years ago
Thanks bodhi, I did all that and it's much better. I have one more question, I have webmin installed and the gui is pretty slow at loading, also when I try to look at the log file, everything gets garbled as shown below: root@debian:~# cat /var/webmin/miniserv.log 10.0.1.126 - - [22/Jan/2021:23:35:03 -0800] "¸H4ò5tâ“ "GET / HTTP/1.1" 401 4853 10.0.1.126 - - [22/Jaby Rhodess - Debian
Re: PopoPlug Memory Limitations on Upgrading - 3 years ago
All seems to be good now bodhi, I assume that I need to add the vm.min_free_kbytes = 16384 to the /etc/sysctl.conf to survive reboots correct?by Rhodess - Debian

Re: swap space on pogo E02 - 3 years ago
Thanks bodhi. I just made another post regarding memory limitations. I think I'll restore my original image and then spend time setting up the swapfile and the udev mounts first, and ensure I have a stable system with optimized memory. I think the issues I'm seeing are trying to run before I can walk, trying to do too much too fast. Essentially, all I want is to be able to plug iby Rhodess - Debian
PopoPlug Memory Limitations on Upgrading - 3 years ago
Hi bodhi, Are there practical limits on these upgrades for things like the PopoPlug E04 due to the memory size? When I go through the forum posts, memory issues never seem to be mentioned, as though it's never an issue. However, I see on this device, even with a swap file, that all the memory is consumed on some occasions. A typical example, even after enabling a swapfile and movingby Rhodess - Debian
Re: swap space on pogo E02 - 3 years ago
What's the best way to make a mount point? I'm booting Debian from sda and created my swapfile on sdb1, everything seems fine except it doesn't survive a reboot. It's probably a misunderstanding on my part, but I assumed that once Debian booted up, that I wouldn't have to manually create mount points for anything mounted in the USB ports. I thought Debian would take cby Rhodess - Debian
Re: Can I use SWAT on my PogoV4 & E02 - 3 years ago
I didn't have the swap in /etc/fstab, so I just added it (and mounted the USB that it sits on): root@debian:/# echo "/media/data/swapfile.img none swap sw,nofail 0 0" >> /etc/fstab root@debian:/# cat /etc/fstab # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> LABEby Rhodess - Debian
Re: Can I use SWAT on my PogoV4 & E02 - 3 years ago
WOW! What a difference that makes, It's running great now. I imaged my SD card to a USB and then extended the partition also.

Re: Can I use SWAT on my PogoV4 & E02 - 3 years ago
Thanks bodhi, I created a swapfile on another USB using this post Swapfile on disk, so I may try and log to that later, in the meantime I will create in /tmp as per your suggestionby Rhodess - Debian
Re: Can I use SWAT on my PogoV4 & E02 - 3 years ago
Are there any caveats to this? I'm booting my pogo from a 4Gb SD card and webmin seems to just grind everything to a halt almost. I had to set ssl=0 in the /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf file before it would even start. When it does start it's really slow, I can count the seconds between command and response to ssh commands while it's running. If I issue a top command it doesn'tby Rhodess - Debian

Re: Pogoplug E04 not booting from SD Card or USB - 3 years ago
One further question bodhi, Assuming all goes well, does that mean I should stay on version 5.2.9, or would I be free to upgrade to the latest 5.9.12? I'm not planning to get too far ahead of myself, just curious as to the limitations with the current hardware and u-boot and also a little confused on the opening post statement in Linux Kernel 5.9.12 Kirkwood package and Debian rootfs sincby Rhodess - uBoot
Re: Pogoplug E04 not booting from SD Card or USB - 3 years ago
Hi bodhi, I have restored my original uImage, so I'm ready to reboot and just wanted to ensure I'm good. I don't think I need to setup netconsole if I have my serial connection and for uenvs.txt in step C, I can add that later if needed correct? I see the pogo options are gone from the boot cmd, so does that mean it will not boot at all without anything plugged in? Beloby Rhodess - uBoot
Re: Pogoplug E04 not booting from SD Card or USB - 3 years ago
Thanks bodhi, I have no preference really, either Arch or Debian. My main goal was to boot from the sd card, the assumption being that the port is less likely to be used vs the USB ports. so once I have it all running properly I intend to image the flash card for recovery/backup incase my sd card gets damaged, and also have it boot native, but without all the pogo services running.

Re: Pogoplug E04 not booting from SD Card or USB - 3 years ago
No luck bodhi, I used a SanDisk USB and a PNY 4GB full-size flash card, and I booted from both. I get a kernel panic in both cases but both look to be different issues. The flash card gives the VFS read error, but the USB gives the same error as the SanDisk flash card I used the other day Here is the USB log: U-Boot 2014.07-tld-1 (Jul 18 2014 - 00:59:45) Pogoplug V4 SoC: Kirkwood 88by Rhodess - uBoot
