I retried my test.

I runned nand-sata-install script and didn't reboot after the transfer of files is complete.

The output of the following command "sudo lsblk -o name,mountpoint,size,type,ro,label,uuid" is :


NAME         MOUNTPOINT  SIZE TYPE RO LABEL  UUID
sda                     55.9G disk  0

zram3        [SWAP]     61.7M disk  0
zram4        [SWAP]     61.7M disk  0
 

Is it normal that rootfs is now on the emmc storage (I suppose) ?

I am sure that I am choosing the option "boot from SD, system on SATA / USB" when running the nand-sata-install script using armbian-config.

I also checked /etc/fstab. Here is its content :

UUID=1e83c9ce-2656-44f4-880c-b36e49cdde63 / ext4 defaults,noatime,nodiratime,commit=600,errors=remount-ro 0 1
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,nosuid 0 0
 

Thanks in advance for the help guys.

Why your eMMC is having 2 partitions which first one seems to be a FAT one ?

Armbian doesn't create such partitioning ...

BTW, don't check the "fstab" of SDCard, since your rootfs is supposed to be the eMMC, you should check the "fstab" copied into the eMMC.

Thanks for your reply.

In fact after checking : mmcblk1 is the SD card and not the EMMC. 

After running the script nand-sata-install, I dont know where the SSD disk is mounted as you can see from the output of the command "lsblk".

I tried to check the output of this command while the script was copying files from Sd card to SSD. I found that the mounting point is /mnt/nand-sata-install/rootfs. But when the execution of the script is finished, the mounting point is empty when I check the output of lsblk. 

In addition to that, I tried to access /mnt/nand-sata-install/ and I found there routfs and bootfs but they are empty.

If I try to reboot after the end of the script, I cannot access anymore the nanopi.

I even tried to mount the SSD disk partition on /mnt/nand-sata-install/rootfs using fstab. But also I cannot access anymore the nanopi after rebooting.

What do you thing I am doing wrong?

 

Regards,

Antony

Just to be clear, I dont want to use the EMMC for the moment

Sorry, I've confused between eMMC and SSD ...

Did you mount /dev/sda1 into /mnt and then check the actual UUID in /mnt/etc/fstab ?

Is the rest of ROOTFS in this SSD looks right ?

Posted

I retried the test with a new image.

This time when the execution of the script is ended, I tried to mount manually the SSD on /mnt/nand-sata-install.eGPTd1. (This is the name of the mounting point that I got this time).

When I did this, I found all the directories that I have in the mounting point / of the SD card.

You can find below the /mnt/nand-sata-install.eGPTd1/etc/fstab file :

# <file system>                                 <mount point>   <type>  <options>                                                       <dump>  <pass>

P.S : When I mounted the SSD disk manually, I dont hava anymore rootfs in /mnt/nand-sata-install.eGPTd1. 

I have directly the directories. You can find below the output of the command "ls /mnt/nand-sata-install.eGPTd1/" :
bin  boot  dev  etc  home  lib  lost+found  media  mnt  opt  proc  root  run  sbin  selinux  srv  sys  tmp  usr  var

 

Thanks in advance.

So, this seems Ok !

(BTW, since you don't wish to use eMMC, you should remove their entries in this "fstab", it can only confuse you)

Is the SDCard /boot/armbianEnv.txt is also pointing to 4c5efd27-eb4c-4bf4-b605-6bb7fa395ac9 ?

Content of /boot/armbianEnv.txt :

 

verbosity=1
logo=disabled
console=both
disp_mode=1920x1080p60
overlay_prefix=sun8i-h3
overlays=usbhost1 usbhost2
rootdev=UUID=4c5efd27-eb4c-4bf4-b605-6bb7fa395ac9
usbstoragequirks=0x2537:0x1066:u,0x2537:0x1068:u
rootfstype=ext4
 

So normally rootdev points to the SSD disk. The format rootdev=UUID=... is correct?

Right ! So, it should be Ok !

So, when you reboot, the rootfs is not this SSD ? can you provide logs from USB-TTL Serial debug port ?

@martinayotte I made sure that my serial connection is done correctly with the nanopi and redo the reboot.

I got this :

@martinayotte I tried to use an old image of nanopi neo core. I downloaded it around 5 months ago and the name of the image is Armbian_5.38_Nanopineo_Debian_stretch_next_4.14.14.img.

 

When I try to use the nand-sata-install script with this machine, it works normally. I boot from SD card and my file system is on the SSD disk.

attached the serial debug when rebooting

According to this log, it started booting properly the /dev/sda1, but the end of log seems that it stuck on some services, unless you didn't provided full log up to "login".

That is strange ... But at least you have something working ...

@martinayotte I retried the test with the most recent image of nanopi neo core. Here is the full serial debug logs.

Like you said, I guess that I didn't send the full logs previously.

As you see from the logs, there is emergency mode.

I tried to press Ctrl D like they said but it didnt worked.

What do think about that?

Seems to be complex issue ...

We still be that it tries to mount eMMC stuff, as I said earlier, remove then from fstab since you don't want them. Issue is probably related to that ...

Hello again,

 

I did the test again.

I executed nand-sata-install script using armian-config.

At the end, I didn't rebbot.

I mounted the SSD disk manually.

I modified /mnt/nand-sata-install.g3nZk2/etc/fstab and removed the line corresponding to the EMMC storage.

I checked that /boot/armbianEnv.txt is pointing to the SSD disk.

I rebooted and got the following serial debug logs.

 

I got the same problem. 

P.S: I checked /etc/fstab before rebooting. I figured out that the EMMC storage is only mounted in /etc/fstab. 

I am really out of ideas regarding this problem. Hope what I explained and the logs help you figure out the problem. 

 

Regards,

Antony

Hello there,

 

is there any "secret" how to make nand-sata-install work with a Odroid N2? I wanted to move the system to a proper SSD (USB) instead of killing the SD card with wear in the long run. There is actually a tool to accomplish this task easily: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/#how-to-install-to-emmc-nand-sata-usb However after power cycling the N2, it didn't boot anymore.

 

The boot.ini has been changed in fact to the UUID of my SSD:

 

setenv rootdev "UUID=5d0f77d8-xxx-xxx"
setenv rootfstype "ext4"

 

It does match:

 

root@odroidn2:/home/n2# blkid
/dev/mmcblk1p1: UUID="2b2fb355-yyy-yyy" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="70bd7af3-01"
/dev/sda1: UUID="5d0f77d8-xxx-xxx" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="70bd7af3-01"

 

At Reddit ( https://www.reddit.com/r/ODroid/comments/fp2f0k/armbian_bionic_54_tried_to_move_to_usb_ssd_doesnt/ ) I've been told to change the PARTUUID, I did so and changed the PARTUUID of the SSD - still doesn't boot, or honestly I don't know what is happening, because all I see is a black screen over HDMI.

 

I decided to roll back the boot.ini and armbian.env files to the UUID of the SD -> then it ended up in an "emergency mode".

 

Wish I had a serial cable to check the debug output, but I don't have any and shipping dates (maybe due to Covid?) are due to 3-4 weeks.

 

Do you have any suggestion how to proceed from here?

There is not other solution to wait receiving this serial dongle.

 

I understand that without the serial connection we won't know what is happening on my very box.

 

Maybe I should ask different questions in regards to how this move from SD to USB (SATA) works.

 

1. Is there any further actions needed after the nand-sata-install script completes? Is that working "out-of-the-box" for others?

2. Is that right that the PARTUUID shall be changed after the SD is replicated to the external drive?

3. Is there any experience with moving SD to an external SATA SSD in a USB enclosure?

4. What is usbstoragequirks=0x2537:0x1066:u,0x2537:0x1068:u,0x0bc2:0x2322:u,0x1058:0x25ee:u in armbianEnv.txt?

 

BTW, this is my USB SATA being recognized, if you guys see anything relevant here... Seems like that 0x0bc2:0x2322 is related (Vendor and Product IDs), but what about the other values?

Try to use usbstorage instead of uas.

 

Add the idVendor and idProdukt to the usbstoragequirks at /boot/armbianEnv.txt

It takes ~30 seconds to get the drive as SDA1 recognized! The same happened with that Seagate enclosure...

 

I suppose that's a no-GO during boot time. Is there any way to add a delay to the boot process, let's give the N2 some time to recognize the USB drive?

 

2. Tried the SD to USB move with a plain simple USB flash drive. Works without a glitch, but at the same time, the UFD is recognized as a USB storage device like in no time compared to the above examples.

 

3. The most disappointing thing was that the enclosure was totally not recognized after a reboot, only after I disconnected and reconnected to the USB port. That excludes then any remote or unattended functionality, a total deal breaker, but I suppose this is Odroid's fault, and not something Armbian could do anything...

Alright, I received the serial cable, but I'm not wiser at all.

 

- odroid N2 flashed and boots from SD:

- nand-sata-install script executed, SD to USB (Ext4) successful

- boot.ini is changed in fact to the USB enclosure's GUID

- after reboot, NOTHING, just the black screen.

 

Honestly I don't know what should I look for in the serial log. It is also stuck there:

How to continue from here...?

Not sure if we have a problem with nand-sata-installer here ... more with a USB subsystem on N2 which is known for troubles. I plan to add nand-sata-install procedure to auto tests facility once. In such case we would know at once if the problem is present generally, just on N2 or you made something wrong.

@vzoltan This is needed to solve problems quicker and smarter:

 

- writing a test case

- contributing a stash of USB3 keys for:

 

Since we don't have autotest support ATM, we need to see logs. Or spent some precious time - I have no idea where to pull it from - to recreate this and try to fix.

Honestly I don't know what should I look for in the serial log. It is also stuck there:


Do you have the same log from a working variant?

Update here, as I don't want you guys overthink this issue.

 

Later this morning I totally gave up on the latest 5.4 kernel images, and tried with a 4.9.x as in other forums I've been told.

 

That works PERFECTLY.

 

Therefore I tend to say this is a Linux kernel issue, and there shall be some kind of regressions regarding USB handling in the 5.x branch.

I do, but as stated above, it might not be that relevant anymore, we are looking for a Linux issue here.
