zbrdge Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 So, Just installed Arbian Xenial mainline/stable on a 32Gb microSD on a Cubietruck. Everything seems to be working well except when I attach an external USB 3.0 1Tb disk. It seems to keep issuing some kind of ATA command to query the disk and cause a clicking. I know its not the disk because it works fine elsewhere and theres some info in the dmesg about it (which I will post when I get a chance). Is this a known bug or not? And if Im able to track down the bug and fix it where should I submit a PR? Thanks for the great project! - Zack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 This is usually an indication that power supply (for USB drive) is not sufficient. You have extra power supply or you power via USB? In this case, try connecting via powered USB hub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zbrdge Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 Ah OK. Makes perfect sense. I'll give it a try and report back, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suchende Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Try the other USB port. It sounds funny, but at my cubietruck it works at least for a 2.5" external drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
