mxr Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Wanted to share my unfortunate experience today of trying to do a fresh install of a newer armbian version in order to accommodate OMV 5 on my Helios4. Was doing everything as usual and after the first boot from the new SD card tried to run armbian-config while still attached to the serial console. That proved to be a mistake as it started some auto install script type of thing and wiped one of my hard drives. Also the GUI wasn't showing properly. The exact same thing happened when I tried to reproduce the same steps. Should have been wiser and connected via SSH after inital boot to go from there. No such thing happened when running armbian-config via SSH for the first time. I am running Mac OS Big Sur and have the 1.4.7 FTDI VCP beta driver installed. The command I was running to connect was screen /dev/tty.usbserial-X 115200 -L. Fortunately the drive that was wiped was a redundancy drive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
