jcorbet Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 First I have to thank all maintainers for their work. I ran this server for 1.5 years before something broke. Since armbian is maintained by volunteers I want to cheer you up and thank you for your hard work. However just today my little server would die after apt-update/upgrade. I use a SATA drive together with a boot SD-card (only containing /boot). I can observe the following behavior: The system leds indicate that booting is sucessful (blue LED does blink regularly, I can detect HDD usage by observing the green LED), yet SSH login that I have been using for years now is impossible. The device is also not responsive when pinging it. From my router's dashboard I can not detect a sucessful network connection, yet the NIC's orange LED would blink regularly. Sadly I do not own an UART adapter, maybe I should have bought one sooner. What I have already done: Mirror the SD card using dd. I am uploading the file and will post the link here for review. // Upload finished: https://mega.nz/file/yYJwEIiA#zw4lBfeJ8wXyxS1EeGDpMGERbQquEoxvNaCh2CFwTbg Notice that the focal images seem to be corrupt. I have added focal sources since I needed more modern packages for installing ntopng. Maybe this had something to do with it. I am very glad if someone has some advice, well any advice. I would hate to setup everything again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosbeef Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) I'm in the same trouble. It boot well on my SDcard then i do a rsync of the root to the encrypted ssd change the boot.ini to boot to the ssd as everytime i did. ~ # sudo sed -e 's/root=[^ ]*/root=\/dev\/sdg\/root cryptopts=source=\/dev\/sda,target=sdc,lvm=sdg /' -i /boot/boot.ini ~ # sudo update-initramfs -u then it boot first on the initramfs well and i have access to the busybox ssh. then I execute cryptroot_unlock it seems to start initializing well but without network, so i can't access. I have access to the ssd from the initramfs using /sbin/cryptsetup open ... i can mount and view file on the ssd from the initramfs. Manualy tried to init with root_switch. it kick me then it the same networking problem. ~ # /sbin/cryptsetup open --type luks /dev/sda sdc Enter passphrase for /dev/sda: ~ # /sbin/lvm lvm> vgchange -ay 3 logical volume(s) in volume group "sdg" now active lvm> exit Exiting. ~ # mkdir /newroot mkdir: can't create directory '/newroot': File exists ~ # mount /dev/sdg/root /newroot ~ # mount --move /sys /newroot/sys ~ # mount --move /proc /newroot/proc ~ # mount --move /dev /newroot/dev ~ # exec switch_root /newroot /sbin/init I'm on HC1 Armbian_20.08.1_Odroidxu4_buster_current_5.4.61_minimal What do you need to help me to debug ?

rosbeef Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I tried from a fresh image flashed on sdcard and just sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda -E discard sudo mount /dev/sda /mnt sudo rsync -ahPHAXx --delete --exclude={/boot/*,/dev/*,/proc/*,/sys/*,/tmp/*,/run/*,/mnt/*,/media/*,/lost+found} / /mnt sudo sed -e 's/UUID=[^ ]*/UUID=MY_SDA_SSD_SPECIFIC_UUID"/' -i /boot/boot.ini That does not change the problem 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosbeef Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) It seems that the mmcblk number change from 0 to 1 so my boot folder didn't mount, so automatic "sudo update-initramfs -u" doesn't work. i started from scratch and replace sudo sed -e '2i/dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/sdcard ext4 defaults,noatime,nodiratime,commit=600,errors=remount-ro 0 2\' -i /mnt/etc/fstab by sudo sed -e '2i/dev/mmcblk1p1 ... What should be the origin of this change ? Edited September 21, 2020 by rosbeef 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
