Luckily the Dockstar has no problem recognizing the ASMedia bridge, and it seemed to be working just fine for many hours until the disconnect reared its ugly head. The idea of moving rootfs to a pen drive stems from my plan of sharing the storage drive between Windows (where I'd make use of its superior speed to take image backups quickly) and Linux (where it would instead serve my media libby leitmotiv - Debian
Hey bodhi! The JMS56x dock is not working no matter what. I tried a few usb starts, only the first one appeared to be processed by the Dockstar. Issuing a usb reset only detects the system drive, regardless of what ports they're plugged in. Dunno, this dock works fine on my Windows PC on both USB 2.0 and 3.0, does not get detected as anything weird, despite being a cloning dock. It'sby leitmotiv - Debian
Seagate Barracuda ST4000DM004 (4 TB), ASMedia bridge, USB 3.0, directly connected to the Dockstar, no hubs, power provided by the brick included with the enclosure/drive. I launched a long cp operation from the system drive (ext4, 1.1 TiB) to an NTFS partition on the Seagate, mounted with ntfs-3g, which completed without error. After a break, I launched another cp for roughly 650 GiB, which enby leitmotiv - Debian
What he meant is that version 4 is no longer exposed in the package names. Whatever you get through stable is not obsolete, by Debian standards, i.e. it is currently supported, but stable generally lags behind upstream. The clean solution to that would be fetching from backports, instead of playing mix'n'match by installing packages from testing, which can be kind of a pain in theby leitmotiv - Debian
That's good to know. Concerning sysvinit, Debian gave me a warning, during the stretch upgrade IIRC, that future versions of the daemon packages may no longer come with sysvinit scripts, i.e. maintainers can decide to drop them at any point in time without any consequence?by leitmotiv - Debian
Hi bodhi. Thanks for the prompt reply, as well as all the work you do on plug computers. Any particular reason why you would not recommend switching to OpenRC just yet?by leitmotiv - Debian
Hello! having recently upgraded my (neglected) Dockstar to Debian stretch (stock install), I was left locked out of the system, which took me some time to fix, because of my being (mis)led into thinking systemd was broken, wheras the real problem was it not starting dropbear, because some previously undetected file system corruption in my /home fs triggered systemd's emergency mode.
