NOBL Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) Hi I had to upgrade my Odroid N2 from Armbian Buster to Armbian Bullseye to run newer versions of Nextcloudpi (24.x). So I did the upgrade by writing the Armbian 22.05 version to the eMMC and started Armbian. Works fine. Then I installed a fresh nextcloudpi (23.0.2) which is the same version I used on Armbian Buster. Works fine. I added the external disks (ncdata und ncbackup). After a restore of my nextcloudpi backup everything was well. But the next reboot did nothing, i.e. no output on the HDMI Interface, nothing. So, I did a power-off and looked at the eMMC via a Micro-SD adapter I have. Of course, no logs, nothing. Of course, there are no logs in /var/log because of the /dev/zram1 mounted at /var/log. Mounting /dev/zram1 on /var/log might be good if everything works, but if a reboot fails, you are host. I found a work-around: disable apache2 startup by editing the systemd unit file - I couldn't use systemctl because the system did not boot. After plugging in the external disks (nc-automount was enabled) and correcting the unit file, I could start apache2 and nextcloudpi is running well - until the next reboot. So, how do I disable the mount of /dev/zram1 to /var/log to find the real culprit ? Is it sufficient to delay the start of apache2 by adding ExecStartPre=/bin/sleep 30 ? Thanks for your advice. Kind regards Norbert Edited June 30, 2022 by NOBL several typos 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOBL Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share Posted July 1, 2022 It does not just reboot automatically, but it crashes after a few hours of use. In addition it automaticall shuts down after a while. I am sick of opening the case, remove the eMMC, put it on the Micro-SD adapter, put it into the Micro-SD slot on my computer, edit the apache2 startup script, put the eMMC back on board and start the Odroid N2 again and repeat this several times a day. OK, I'll try to figure out myself how to stop using /dev/zram1 as /var/log. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
