[OpiPC2's USB HDD performance issues]

Maybe there are commercial NTFS drivers available (for ARM) but I would simply drop the idea to use NTFS since as it's implemented in a standard Debian or Ubuntu ('ntfs-3g' package: 'read/write NTFS driver for FUSE') it will always be the worst combination of slow and ressource hungry.

 

I would simply use a 'native' filesystem on Linux (ext4 or btrfs) and if you need something to interchange between different systems maybe ExFAT is a solution (no idea, I stopped this idea years ago when I did some tests with ExFat and UDF and especially the latter turned into a nightmare)

Thank you, I will try to convert the HDD, guess it will take a while for a 1T drive on USB2.0 ARM SBC.

Connected with a JMS567 controller SATA to USB3.0 adapter, my PC2 managed to read and write at external HDD(NTFS) near 30MB/s, but the H5 CPU load percentage is above 70% on all 4 core,  is there any tweaks I can apply to lower the CPU load? Or I have to change the Disk type to linux native formats? 

 

Also I didn't use tools like smartctl or hdparm before, are they useable on Armbian?  I didn't get enough info from them through the JMS567 SATA to USB setup,  are these issues casue by the adapter or the OS?

Hello.
Yesterday orange pi prime tried to install two distributions (Debian and Ubuntu) downloaded from here: https://dl.armbian.com/orangepiprime/
all started, but I can not change the root password
This can be fixed, but for this I need to log into the system. And I can not enter the operating system, because I can not change the password.
What do i do? Are there already proven images?

enter old password first.

BTW: If you solved this problem your next challenge will be shitty performance due to NTFS (using FUSE and being slow as hell while fully occupying at least a single CPU core)

My knowledge is limited even to archive simple task on these SBC,  I still trying to find good resources to improve my understanding. Your reply is a lot of help to me, thank you.

It is common with anything designed for developers/marketed to hobbyists.  I feel like this would have been common at old radio club meetings, where someone forgot to wire in an antenna...

 

In reality the board makers needs to include some of this education in the package if they are working this way, human nature does not include reading the FAQ when joining a forum.

You are absolutely right, I think these kind of mistake is too common and counter productive. And I feel stupid to make one more.

I give up finally. So much time went into tools to help supporting user problems while users refuse to use them and provide the needed information. The link above asks for the output of 'armbianmonitor -u' (containing most important info at the end of the uploaded stuff eg. 'lsusb -t' output).

 

Same with those useless 'headers' in each and every subforum. They are obviously invisible to users. What an insane mess...

Sorry to mess it, I'm new to the forum, and the process to find the solution. I've attach the armhwinfo.log manually in the last reply (AMonitor prompt"network firewall problem" at my first try), I thought it was what you ask for.  The link is http://sprunge.us/MHBP, thank you for your reply.

 

I understand your frustration, please accept my apologies.

On my Orange Pi PC2, I try to copy some file from external USB HDD ,  the read speed is only 1MB /s.

 

The HDD is 2.5" 1TB NTFS format, could this be a power insufficient issue?  Or I missed to mounting it properly?

How? With one of those 'PSP charger cables' which often have too tiny wires?

 

Anyway, this thread should be moved to https://forum.armbian.com/forum/31-sd-card-and-power-supply/

I was too ignorance, thank you for the hint.

Does it spin-up? How do you power your OPi PC2 (type of PSU)? 

I heard a click sound from the hard disk, so I think the mist for me is clear now, thank you very much,  I'm not quite sure why Raspberry pi can power up the HD, yet the orange pi pc 2 doesn't, it's connected to a 2.4A rating PSU.

How do you power your HDD when connecting to the OPi PC2?

 

If you power it through the SBC ist most probably a power issue... 

Yes, HD drain power from SBC, I'm using a 2.5" 1T disk, It was working flawlessly on raspberry pi2's USB ports. Any way to test  it? Thx.

Thank your for  the good works to make these board run much better.

I have ARMBIAN 5.34.171116 install on opi pc2, what I try to archive is rather simple.

I can mount usb stick, but not usb hard disk, after plugin,  the disk (NS1068x controller) will turn on LED, but seems nothing happen in /dev/.

My knowledge can not help me beyond this point, Any help will be appreciated
