But i would appreciate a bit more news about the current status of developement. As far as i can see there is no status or developement overview on the current issues, not on your blog nor on twitter. The only information we get are in various topics across the forum on armbian. Yes sorry about the lack of centralized news on that stability improvement effort. We don't want to confuse people by posting things when the effort is still ongoing, and that we still don't have a clear understanding why the instability issue only impact some of the boards. 19 hours ago, Vin said: Also I wonder if those issues are genreal rk3399 gonvernor etc. problems, or if it applies specifically for the Helios64? It is not an issue that impact all rk3399 boards. However same problems is impacting the NanoPi M4V2, and it's thanks to @piter75 work on the NanoPi that Helios64 stability has improved. 19 hours ago, Vin said: Mine is still crashing like a clockwork every 24 hours and leaves me generally with a corrupted OS and data. Are you running from eMMC or SDcard ? Can you share some crash logs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR-G Posted April 5, 2021 Author Share Posted April 5, 2021 On my side : - OS (debian helios64 image) installed on SD card, SD card is a samsung one (128G) - 5x Western Digital HDD (all the same) WDBBGB0140HBK-EESN 14TB, plugged in a regular way sda > sde (and so obviously no M.2 plugged in) - I have the internal battery plugged in At OS level : - docker with netdata container (and nothing else for now) - mdadm activated for the RAID-5 array - SMBFS with a few shares - NFS with shares mounted on other servers (crashes where already happening before switching to NFS instead of SSHFS for regular accesses) At this time at "workaround" side : - latest kernel 5.10.21 - with patched boot.scr - governor = powersave, min speed = max speed = 1.6Ghz (and not 1.8Ghz) it seems to be the "least problematic" configuration (one crash every two days and not every day ...) About load : - rclone each day during a few hours to mirror everything in the cloud (limited to 750GB per day so it takes quite some days) - nearly no freezes during this - borgbackup fetching from another server and through NFS some file to backup each night - i suspect some freezes there - some NFS shares being accessed for various tasks all the times (sometimes with a lot of IO) - i suspect some freezes there - all this is quite reasonable about load and is not generating a lot of IO in the end Helios64 board ordered on 2020, jan 12 (order 1312), sent on 2020, sept 21 and received sometime around beginning of october (NAS not installed before december) By the way i also have a Helios4 board since a long time, and i never got any freeze with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It turned out that our FAT software was a bit too strict resulting in some board failing the FAT while they are actually OK" The issue with our Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) we mentioned was related to PCIe link training. It took us a bit of time to realize that the PCIe device (SATA controller) was getting reset by software twice at boot instead of once which was causing sometimes the SATA controller to fail the link training sequence... therefore failing the FAT test. It's completely unrelated to DFS problem and what fixed within days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand that, also ist doesnt make a good impression, yet i assume there must be way more people out there with an unstable system wondering what is happening and being disappointed. I would have appreciated any information, even though its just that users reported about stability problems and you are onto it, trying to imporove this and that section of the code. Also i wonder what you are working on to stabilize the system, if you dont know the cause? I already tried the voltage and scheduler workaround without success, and those are the only two specific issues that were pointed out so far.

tionebrr Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I had instability too, I just dialed back on the performances and it hasn't crashed in a while. However, throttling is disabled.

SR-G Posted April 6, 2021 Author Share Posted April 6, 2021 I'm a bit confused to not have the same values on my side for all policies ... Whereas : (> i set min = max = 1.6Ghz through armbian-config) What are these two different policies in /cpufreq/ ? (policy0 + policy4 in /cpufreq/ on my side) Is it like "policy0" is used by "performance" governor mode and policy4 by "powersave" ? (in which case it would make sense for me to have different values) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tionebrr Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Quote What are these two different policies in /cpufreq/ ? (policy0 + policy4 in /cpufreq/ on my side) Not sure. I changed both policies to 1.6GHz and I get the same min/max as you: Changed back to 1GHz and both policy are back the same again. Okay, and I just noticed that not all core have the same frequencies available: So maybe the policies are made to fit the available frequencies? And yep, setting the min max to 1.4GHz makes both policies equal. Not sure why some cores doesn't accept 1.6 and 1.8GHz tho. Isn't this supposed to be the same clock for every core? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR-G Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 So on my side, after my latest reinstallation (due to corrupted OS) : - with default installation / configuration out of the box, i had one freeze every 24h - by switching to "powersave", or to "performance" mode, and with min CPU frequency = max CPU frequency = either 1.8Ghz either 1.6Ghz : still the same (one freeze per day) - by switching to "performance" mode, with min CPU frequency = max CPU frequency = 1.4Ghz, it seems now more stable (uptime = 5 days for now) So my guts feeling is really that these issues : - are mainly related to the cpufreq mechanizm - and probably related to what has been nicely spotted before (by Vin), the fact that 2 core have different max frequency range (as expected per the specs, but maybe with a corner case in the cpufreq governance) Quote 8:38 root@helios64 ~# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy*/scaling_min_freq 1416000 1416000 8:38 root@helios64 ~# uptime 08:38:34 up 5 days, 17:25, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadkill Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) On 3/16/2021 at 3:27 AM, ShadowDance said: @jbergler I recently noticed the armbian-hardware-optimization script for Helios64 changes the IO scheduler to `bfq` for spinning disks, however, for ZFS we should be using `none` because it has it's own scheduler. Normally ZFS would change the scheduler itself, but that would only happen if you're using raw disks (not partitions) and if you import the zpool _after_ the hardware optimization script has run. You can try changing it (e.g. `echo none >/sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler`) for each ZFS disk and see if anything changes. I still haven't figured out if this is a cause for any problems, but it's worth a shot. Currently giving this a try. Note that OMV creates a rule to override the scheduler to `bfq` for all rotating disks. Since all 5 of the HDDs are participating in my ZFS pool, I simply changed `bfq` to `none` in `/etc/udev/rules.d/99-openmediavault-scheduler.rules`, then ran the following to apply: $ sudo udevadm control --reload-rules $ sudo udevadm trigger --type=devices --action=change Edited August 23, 2021 by roadkill 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qualle337 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Hi, I can confirm having the same problems with CPU freezes. Initially I fixed the problem by setting min CPU frequency = max CPU frequency = 1.4Ghz. This configuration ran very solid. A few days ago I reinstalled my system (due to a different problem) and left the CPU settings on default. I'm now running Kernel 5.10.63-rockchip64. Yesterday I noticed that the system was unresponsive again. Actually the red fault LED was blinking, which I cannot remember that it did before. Unlike documented it was set to trigger on (kernel) panic. Now I set the max CPU frequency to 1.4Ghz, leaving the min CPU frequency at 400Mhz (performance mode). Lets see how this goes... Meanwhile, I'm wondering if anyone heard of an actual fix. Could it actually be a problem with my hardware or is it purely software? And if it is - why are there so little complaints? I mean this system is designed to run 24/7, isn't it? I don't want to complain about Helios64, I'm just trying to understand if there is anything I'm missing out to get around this problem. Many Thanks, Julius 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowDance Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Same here, the instability of my Helios64 combined with Armbian not having a test-suite for it (and thus breaking it at any point) lead me to splurge on hardware that cost 4x as much. A NAS should be out of sight and out of mind, not a constant source of worry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alban Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Since I got my Helios64 : I had an hadrware problem (voltage on some disk drop too low : it ended : replace MB) But I had many panic/ freeze since first days. I was never able to pass 10 days without problems until I read this topic : Last month I decided to set freq policy as read here : root@helios64:~# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy*/scaling_max_freq 1416000 1416000 root@helios64:~# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy*/scaling_min_freq 1416000 1416000 root@helios64:~# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy*/cpuinfo_cur_freq 1416000 1416000 And I have a much more stable system root@helios64:~# uptime 18:35:42 up 30 days, 1:34, 1 user, load average: 0.01, 0.03, 0.00 root@helios64:~# uname -a Linux helios64 5.10.60-rockchip64 #21.08.1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Aug 25 18:56:55 UTC 2021 aarch64 GNU/Linux root@helios64:~# cat /etc/issue Armbian 21.08.1 Buster \l 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussianNeuroMancer Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 So solution for this DFS issue was never found? Also is anyone got this issue with SSD drives? Or it happens only with HDD? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR-G Posted November 12, 2022 Author Share Posted November 12, 2022 Well, my HELIOS64 board died a long time ago (with no possible replacment), but before that, about the freezes : - in the end the root cause of the problem has never been corrected, but had been identified at some point in time as being related to the CPU freq changes / governance - hence the workaround about stabilizing the board with a fixed governance and a lower speed of 1.2Ghx - as far as i remember, this was nearly allowing to not encounter the issue anymore (not sure however what you are calling "DSF" + this had nothing to do with disks - SSD or regular HDD) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prahal Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 adding kernel parameter cpufreq.off=1 I managed to run it for 61 days (ending up rebooting to test other things) You can add it to /boot/armbianEnv.txt extraargs. My next step is to try with vdd_cpu_b ramp-delay set to 1000 instead of 40000 in the dts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Assumed that it could be related to board's power supply somehow.) 19 часов назад, prahal сказал: I managed to run it for 61 days Thank you for sharing your workaround. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
