I tested the current (minimal) Ubuntu 22.04 image provided by the vendor and both ports work again. 🥳
It's an ancient 4.9 and Ubuntu is not my first choice but f*** it, it works. I rely on the NAS.
Case closed, Armbian dropped. Sorry 🤷♀️
Anyway, I see three possibilities
Software upgrade and loss of the SATA-port are independent and just coincide (e.g. actually caused by the reboot).
Then it's a hardware / firmware issue.
The software upgrade caused frying of the SATA-port or SSD.
Then it's a firmware issue.
It's a software (armbian) issue.
and would like to figure out which one holds and what to do about it.
In fact, most of the reports I have read speak of Samsung. However, Samsung is also the market leader. So I am cautious about blaming the issue on Samsung.
This one speaks of Kingston.
Anyway, the problem seems to be accumulating.
Hey,
I have a very similar problem here to this and this thread.
I rebooted as the HC4 was already bugging me for a while to reboot on the motd (unattended-upgrades). Since the reboot, /dev/sdb is gone.
It's a new Samsung SSD 870 EVO as well as in the other thread. The other (still running) one is a new Crucial MX500.
I tried several Armbian kernels but no change. I went back to 5.10.57-meson64.
There are no obviously burnt components on the device.
There seem quite a few people with this problem.
Any ideas? Thanks a lot!
P.S. TP10 and TP11 are at 12V.
