To whom it may concern. Here is the link to the pull request: https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/3376 This is hopefully going to solve a lot of problems for all the SBC-users trying to get their NFSv3 stuff mounted on NextCloud.

Hi @fallen_aarch64 thank you for sharing the information. It would be very nice if you could provide a pull request for the files you changed. So everybody having that board would benefit from that. Since some people are not too much into "sed"ing. Thanks in advance!

Hi @Werner now over the holidays I've found some spare time to do the testing. The work is done and NFSD v4 is now included on all configs across all boards. I tested it and it worked: root@espressobin:~# rpcinfo -p localhost | grep nfs 100003 3 tcp 2049 nfs 100003 4 tcp 2049 nfs 100003 3 udp 2049 nfs Be aware that I could only test it on my EspressoBin board, so I can't make any promises for all other boards. Because of the fact that I'm avoiding Micro$oft products at all costs I don't own a Github account and don't intend in doing so. So I asked my Rakudo (Perl6) friends and one of them created the branch: https://github.com/patrickbkr/build/tree/unify-nfs-config That means that you'll receive a pull request on my behalf today evening. Happy new year 2022!

Ok, will do. One question on that: In which config? - /config/kernel/linux-mvebu64-current.config - /config/kernel/linux-mvebu64-edge.config In legacy it's already enabled...

Hello, I just installed Armbian on my SBC based on Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS (Focal Fossa). > cat /etc/os-release NAME="Ubuntu" VERSION="20.04.3 LTS (Focal Fossa)" PRETTY_NAME="Armbian 21.08.2 Focal" VERSION_ID="20.04" VERSION_CODENAME=focal UBUNTU_CODENAME=focal Installed NFSD server via apt-get install nfs-kernel-server and checked which version of NFS is supported: > cat /proc/fs/nfsd/versions -2 +3 > rpcinfo -u localhost nfs program 100003 version 3 ready and waiting Indicating NFSD is not supporting v4. That might be because of: > zcat /proc/config.gz | grep NFS # CONFIG_USB_FUNCTIONFS is not set CONFIG_XENFS=m CONFIG_XEN_COMPAT_XENFS=y CONFIG_KERNFS=y CONFIG_NFS_FS=m CONFIG_NFS_V2=m CONFIG_NFS_V3=m CONFIG_NFS_V3_ACL=y CONFIG_NFS_V4=m # CONFIG_NFS_SWAP is not set # CONFIG_NFS_V4_1 is not set # CONFIG_NFS_USE_LEGACY_DNS is not set CONFIG_NFS_USE_KERNEL_DNS=y CONFIG_NFS_DISABLE_UDP_SUPPORT=y CONFIG_NFSD=y CONFIG_NFSD_V3=y # CONFIG_NFSD_V3_ACL is not set # CONFIG_NFSD_V4 is not set CONFIG_NFS_ACL_SUPPORT=m CONFIG_NFS_COMMON=y Question: Why is CONFIG_NFSD_V4 is not set by default?

Hello @Werner, you have been right. The patch was not included even if I updated the repo which was strange. So started over, deleted everything, cloned it and compiled it with with: sudo ./compile.sh BOARD=espressobin BRANCH=current RELEASE=focal BUILD_MINIMAL=no BUILD_DESKTOP=no KERNEL_ONLY=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no COMPRESS_OUTPUTIMAGE=sha,gpg,img This time I could find the patch in "cache/sources/linux-mainline/linux-5.10.y/drivers/pci/quirks.c" and guess what. I could use the SATA-Controller card with all HDDs connected and no kernel panic appeared! So everything is working. Thank you a lot! But I guess this bug is now only patched for espressobin, right? Basically it's a kernel bug which affects nearly all SBCs offering mPCI-E slots, when using SATA-Controller cards. Since AS-Media is the only vendor I could find offering such chips it might be good to have this patch in all board patch-sets until the latest linux kernel where the bug has been fixed lands in Armbian base.

The new patch got into the current branch. I compiled Armbian with: sudo ./compile.sh BOARD=espressobin BRANCH=current RELEASE=focal BUILD_MINIMAL=no BUILD_DESKTOP=no KERNEL_ONLY=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no COMPRESS_OUTPUTIMAGE=sha,gpg,img And can confirm that the bug is gone now and the AS-Media based SATA controller chips are now working again. @PaliThank you for organizing the patch. @WernerThank you for you support and help getting the patch into Armbian.

Hello @Werner unfortunately this did not work either. Tried with two boards, two separate SD-Cards and the following images: - Armbian_21.08.0-trunk_Espressobin_focal_current_5.10.53.img Build with: sudo ./compile.sh BOARD=espressobin BRANCH=current RELEASE=focal BUILD_MINIMAL=no BUILD_DESKTOP=no KERNEL_ONLY=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no COMPRESS_OUTPUTIMAGE=sha,gpg,img resulting in the same error as already mentioned. - Armbian_21.08.0-trunk_Espressobin_focal_current_5.10.55_minimal.img Build with: sudo ./compile.sh BOARD=espressobin BRANCH=current RELEASE=focal BUILD_MINIMAL=yes BUILD_DESKTOP=no KERNEL_ONLY=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no COMPRESS_OUTPUTIMAGE=sha,gpg,img resulting in: TIM-1.0 WTMI-devel-18.12.0-a0a1cb8 WTMI: system early-init SVC REV: 3, CPU VDD voltage: 1.155V NOTICE: Booting Trusted Firmware NOTICE: BL1: v1.5(release):1f8ca7e (Marvell-devel-18.12.2) NOTICE: BL1: Built : 09:48:09, Feb 20 2019 NOTICE: BL1: Booting BL2 NOTICE: BL2: v1.5(release):1f8ca7e (Marvell-devel-18.12.2) NOTICE: BL2: Built : 09:48:10, Feb 20 2019 NOTICE: BL1: Booting BL31 NOTICE: BL31: v1.5(release):1f8ca7e (Marvell-devel-18.12.2) NOTICE: BL31: Built : 09:4 U-Boot 2018.03-devel-18.12.3-gc9aa92c-armbian (Feb 20 2019 - 09:45:04 +0100) Model: Marvell Armada 3720 Community Board ESPRESSOBin CPU 1000 [MHz] L2 800 [MHz] TClock 200 [MHz] DDR 800 [MHz] DRAM: 2 GiB Comphy chip #0: Comphy-0: USB3 5 Gbps Comphy-1: PEX0 2.5 Gbps Comphy-2: SATA0 6 Gbps Target spinup took 0 ms.

Hello @Werner, over the week end I've got some spare time and compiled armbian and did some testing. First of all, thank you for this easy to use process, it worked like a charm. Here comes the bad news. The patch seems not to have fixed the AS-Media Sata problem. Maybe the wrong is on my side. I compiled Armbian with the following sudo ./compile.sh BOARD=espressobin BRANCH=edge RELEASE=focal BUILD_MINIMAL=no BUILD_DESKTOP=no KERNEL_ONLY=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no COMPRESS_OUTPUTIMAGE=sha,gpg,img Since I used the edge branch and I found the patch commited by you in the master branch, that should work, right?

Currently trying to build Armbian for the first time. But I'm stuck on how to build it for Espressobin. It was supported a half a year ago afaik. I can't find the board to choose in the configuration screen of compile. Where can I download board specific stuff to get it as a choice in the compile screen? Thanks in advance. ---- Update: Never mind found the button to build CBC.

Hello Pali, as said in the kernel mailing list: Thanks to you and Marek. What I'd like to ask is, how does the workflow or the next steps look like? I mean, how long does it take to get the patch into the kernel (weeks, month)? How likely is it to be rejected? As soon as there is a new Kernel, will there be any nightly builds from armbian side? Are those changes flowing into Armbian directly or are there backports? Thank you in advance.

Hi Pali, deeply sorry for the long delay, but we struggled with some Covid-19 related issue within the family. I Added the lspci -nn -vv output to the mailing list. But I could not find the according dmesg output. After unplugging the SATA cable and rebooting I were able to login and looking at /var/dmesg but I couldn't find any information from the time around the crash. As you can see in the output below I already have these parameters in the console variable. Is there a special way to boot with this parameter, or is it automatically used when I call 'boot' because of 'set_bootargs' which contains 'console' already?

Hello guys, @Pali I posted the problem to the ide-linux kernel mailing list as proposed, but unfortunately received no answer. Here is the link: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-ide/msg60178.html Furthermore I were able to narrow down the kernel versions and exact image version of Armbian where it broke: Armbian 19.11.3 with Kernel 4.14.135 <- last version which was working Armbian 5.65 with Kernel 4.18.16 <- first version which is not working @lampra I'm not booting from sata. I'm still booting from SD-card, but get a kernel panic by mere plugging in the SATA cable via the pcie sata-controller. I'm sorry I'm not having further information about your issue.

Hello @lampra, thanks a lot for this awesome hint! I have been using this link: https://redirect.armbian.com/region/EU/espressobin, on which I found the archived images, but were removed approx 2 weeks ago. Feeling so dumb, this archive-button is so big, that my brain based ad exclusion just removed it ;-) This is going to help a lot! I'll be able to find out in which exact version the bug has been introduced.

Hello @Igor, hello @Pali thank you for the information and thank you for moving the topic into the right forum. Again thanks for that information, but I'm still here to get Armbian run on even this buggy hardware ;-) If you expect me to do more than writing to the linux kernel mailing list and the EspressoBIN forum, please point to the right direction and I will help. For example, do you have any backups of all previous images? If so, where can I find them. I'd like to try all images to narrow down when the bug has been introduced. Update: @Pali Thank you so much for pointing me to this mailing list. This was exactly what I was looking for. I wrote them a mail and will report back as soon as there are new information being revealed. Furthermore I added a post to the EspressoBIN Forum, which is currently on review. As soon as it's being approved, I'll link the post here. Thank in advance.

Hello every one, I own two ESPRESSOBin boards V5. And to both I attached an XCSOURCE® MiniPCIe Sata3.0 AC696 extension card via MiniPCIe. This is the link to amazon: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B06XRG2TGV I tested several images from https://www.armbian.com/espressobin/#kernels-archive-all Unfortunatelly all the old images have been deleted last week, so I could not continue testing.
