Hi guys,
First of: love the Rock64 so far, very happy running the ayufan Xenial minimal.
I was a bit hesistant about buying the Rock64 due to it being a relatively new device, but was convinced due to what seems like a vibrant user community being built here. The community pages proved to be very helpful in setting up the device, thanks for that!
I did a search in the forum on my specific issue and could not find a direct solution - apologies in advance if it turns out to be a rookie / easy mistake. I have working knowledge from tinkering with Linux over the past 15 years, but am definitely not an expert.
My setup:
- Rock 64 on the official power supply (running on a US to EU power converter however).
- Running Ayufan Xenial minimal on a 16GB micro SD card.
- Aukey USB powered hub: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B00QM89U4G/ref=...11_TE_dp_1
- Three Seagate Expansion Portable 4TB drives linked to the USB hub: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B017KE8OG0/ref=...11_TE_dp_1
- Very limited software installed (Docker, vsftp)
What happened:
I tried setting up my three external harddrives in RAID 0, following this tutorial:
https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=5231
In the middle of the tutorial, the device crashed (no error message on screen through putty).
I connected the Rock64 to a monitor (figured at first there was a problem with the network connection) and saw it crashing in 'real time' (while I was not taking any user actions). I took a few pictures (attached to this post). I looked at syslog and the last error there is from a few hours before the crashed. Happy to post any other logs.
In essence, it seems there are a few read/write errors on my external disks and then the device crashed. I plugged out the USB hub and the crashing stopped, so the error is likely connected to the drives.
I took a good look at one of the overview forum posts (https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=4760) and I think my issue might be linked to undervoltage. Is there any way to check that? I thought my powered HUB was strong enough to handle all three drives, but please correct me if I'm wrong.
