disk-activity missing in >=4.5

[Martin Krämer]

Hi,

 

i recently switched from an old Cubietruck Image (1.XX) to the latest available. Everything works fine but i cant find the trigger disk-activity anymore. Is it an bug or an feature?

 

P.S.: i downloaded legacy_jessie_4.5

 

best regards

Disk-activity module seems to be missing in current repository for legacy kernel https://github.com/linux-sunxi/linux-sunxi,but it was present in previous one https://github.com/dan-and/linux-sunxi

You can try to compile and load this module on cubie itself, it shouldn't require any additional dependencies: https://github.com/dan-and/linux-sunxi/blob/dan-3.4.current/drivers/leds/ledtrig-disk.c

Edit: Hm, it may require patching and recompiling whole kernel because looks like this trigger is not designed to be compiled as a module.

Added (back) to this kernel.

Add: tested, working o.k.

Cool Thank you man!

 

apt-get upgrade after the next release will be the only thing to do?

yes. Update will be soon since I produced some bugs in latest release.

 

But you need to enable / map certain led to "disc-activity" in script.bin or your startup script, but that you probably already have. Just a not for others who wants to use this.
