    technik007_cz reacted to zador.blood.stained in Armbian for OrangePi PC2, AllWinner H5   
    Not exactly "usable", but possible to use.
     
    First, write the u-boot (u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin located somewhere in /usr/lib/linux-u-boot-dev...) to the SPI flash, either with dd to /dev/mtd0block or with flashcp to /dev/mtd0. No offsets are needed for dd.
    Second, write a fresh image to the USB HDD (i.e. using Etcher). Old images (even after upgrades) or installed with nand-sata-install may not work and were not tested.
    Third, shut down the board, remove the SD card, power it on and hope that your HDD spins up fast enough. U-boot has a timeout for detecting USB devices that AFAIK can be changed only with recompilation and if HDD spins up long enough it won't be detected.
     
    If there are any issues, they will not be looked into without a log from the serial console.

    Do you mean no space on the rootfs when you are installing additional packages in customize-image.sh?
    Build process uses tmpfs for the rootfs to improve performance on HDDs and reduce writes on SSDs, and tmpfs size is automatically set to 2/3 of total RAM size.
    You can disable it by adding FORCE_USE_RAMDISK=no to the build options.

    Looks like I have to update my comments or update the code 
    This code determines whether tmpfs should be used or not based on amount of available RAM, and changing the code to
    [[ $use_tmpfs == yes ]] && mount -t tmpfs -o size=${phymem}M tmpfs $CACHEDIR/$SDCARD (replacing tmpfs_max_size with phymem) will set it to 2/3 of total RAM size

    I watched it too when I set those values. Maximum space usage happens after the package nstallations but before running apt-get clean. I'll change 1500 to 2000 for the server images (doesn't hurt much, memory is allocated only when it's needed, so it will only disable tmpfs when you have < 3GB RAM).

    @rsegoly,
    original power adapter I bought together with Orange Pi One has no issues. When I tried some cable to power it from usb it failed even I feed it with about 6V. Reason is probably thin cable and usb male <=> female conector resistance. So basically I can only confirm what @tkaiser said.

    While I still don't know what you're trying to achieve just a small remark: If you try to clone just a single partition with dd then the resulting clone can not start. You would've to use
    dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=/dev/sdb instead to get a clone (this has nothing to do with backup of course)

    technik007_cz got a reaction from wildcat_paris in Moving SWAP to SATA or external drive   
    Hi again,
    I found great article about swap folow link below. But I must mention something important. Swap file does not contain any valuable information. So it has not sense to move it. We just delete old, create new one and change path if it is a file somewhere on filesystem or UUID if it is partition in fstab.
    I do prefer to create swap partition on the end of sdcard or microsd because even value on label of card says it is 8GB every brand has different capacity. And this difference can be sometimes more than 100MB. So I decided to shrink root partition to 7.5GB and rest of capacity is swap partition. When I need to clone whole microsd I delete swap partition first, then I use simple dd command to clone it with bootloader and everything and for last I do create new swap partition.
     
    Somebody can say I can do same with simple script which can resize root and left swap like originally was inside root because we do not want to use swap at all on slow these cards and it is here for emergency.
     
    Answer is you have right. Swapfile on microsd card is for emergency cases only because it has low I/O bandwitch and I personally do prefer using swap partition if it is necessary on singleboard computers with sata port attached ssd's (even somebody can protest we do swaps on spindle drives because it do not lower it's lifetime).

    Hi mate,
    log in your system with terminal and do commands.
     
    1) you need to be sure swap is not used
    swapoff -a
     
    2) move swap to different location or create new one swap file or swap partition. Second is better, first simple to create.
    Here is example for 1G swap file:
    dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=1024 of=/var/swap.img
     
    3)change path and filename if necessary in fstab
     
    nano /etc/fstab
     
    4)run command "swapon -a" or reboot

    Hi guys,
    I received 5pcs of Orange Pi PC recently. I prepared system for all of them based on 3.4.xxx kernel Jessie sever image. Every board with only wifi connection I cannot reach on network. I have started investigating problem and these Realtek dongles are showing up like 2 devices wlan0 wlan1. Wpa supplicant driver crashed during boot and there is some strange message in startup log about usb. I am at work now so I cannot post it but on development version I tested this morning is that wifi dongle working and successfully connected to network.

    I would better do a web search for 'overlayfs initramfs debian' and then ask if OverLayFS is available for H3 and if Armbian supports initramfs. That would be a sane approach to mount the rootfs on SD card read-only without breaking anything.

    Cloning is not backup. Never.
     
    To create a clone from time to time that can be transferred to a new SD card on a Linux PC two steps are necessary: After connecting the card, you simply transfer the 1st MB to a file by doing:
    dd if=/dev/$card of=u-boot_spl_partition-table.img bs=1M count=1 You use the whole device here and not a partition since you want u-boot+spl. Then you mount the first partition to eg. /mnt/armbian/ and then create one huge compressed tar archive excluding uneeded stuff relying on this list (paths need to be relative therefore remove the leading slashes):
    cd /mnt/armbian/ && tar -czf clone.tar.xz --options=compression-level=9 --exclude-from=$exclude-list * Your PC is fast and SD cards are slow so this is the best variant to create an archive with minimal size in minimal time. If you want to use this stuff with a new SD card later simply write u-boot_spl_partition-table.img with dd to the new card, use parted or gparted to adjust/fix the partition table, mount the first partition and then do a
    cd /mnt/armbian/ && tar -xf clone.tar.xz But this is not backup but just a clone. Backups need versions to be able to recover from accidents. In case a x86 Linux box is involved a more reasonable approach would be to use a btrfs FS with maximum ZLIB compression on the PC and then either create snapshots on the SBC (when used with mainline kernel and using btrfs for the rootfs -- Armbian is capable to benefit from btrfs thanks to Zador!) and send them using btrfs send/receive or in case you have to use ext4 on the SBC use rsync to send the changes to the PC (and use btrfs snapshots there or rsync with hardlinks to store multiple copies of data without wasting space).
     
    For desaster recovery you still only need the 1MB file u-boot_spl_partition-table.img created sometimes before (or use the appropriate u-boot package from apt.armbian.com) and can then transfer the contents of your backup storage to a new SD card.
     
    In case you have a bunch of SBCs that need to be backed up then better use deduplication instead of compression on the Linux PC (also a btrfs feature worth a look)

    Let me try...
     
    I extracted it from file linux-u-boot-bananapi_5.00_armhf.deb and used command below to write it to microsd.
     
    dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/sdx bs=1024 seek=8
     
    It was not necessary to touch anything else ... and u-boot sucessfully started kernel.
    It was u-boot problem and it is sorted out now.
