I'm new to the ROCK64 and was wondering if a particular build stands out as  the 'most stable' on this board (I plan to use it as a NAS controller.)

Thanks!

RE: Linux Images (ROCK64) - Luke - 01-31-2018

You should always use the latest release (in this case 0.5.15) if you intend to use an image for other than testing. Some 0.6.X images may work better than others ... some not at all.

I have never seen this speed, not even in reading! Huh 

In the weekend I'll try the latest stretch 0.6.15 - 175 with default  kernel 4.4.103.
I'll check the network performance using netperf with both windows and linux machine, and the USB3.0 local performance with iozone (but if I'm not mistaken it is over 100MB/s).
I can also make a test with Helios LAN test.

Do you need some particular log or output?
Thanks.

I did the test with the jessie OMV 0.6.19 and jessie OMV 0.5.15, using 3 different PC to read from and write to.
One PC with Windows 7, one notebook with Windows 10 and one PC with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
All of them have gigabit ethernet, and are directly connected to the router Netgear DGND3700v2 (gigabit ports).
I tried with 2 different ethernet cables to connect the rock64 to the router. The test was done with 1.5GB file.
The average read speed was less than 50MB/s and the average write speed was less than 40MB/s, and there are no significant difference with all of 3 PC.
So i can exclude problem with the "other" PC, and problem with cables.
This is the result of this command

I think there is no problem with disk neither with gigabit transfer.

But reading the forum, I'm not the only one having this problem.

RE: Linux Images (ROCK64) - gene83 - 02-06-2018

I can't get it to run, the rock64 is refusing the connection.

I will try and run a couple of tests on my 0.6.15 build. 0.6.16 introduced a changed to USB 3 speed to HS. I get around 50MB/s also on read across my network. I ran a hdperf test and the drive performed at over 110MB/s  .  Hope Ayufan can look into this further.

RE: Linux Images (ROCK64) - gene83 - 02-07-2018

I now have what I hope to be a realtime kernel v4.14.15-rt13 built for a rock64. The last time I tried to do a make install, it bricked the sdcard and I had to start from scratch.
.
So I'd assume there is an install script that will build a fresh sdcard in a reader plugged into it

Where can I source that script?

RE: Linux Images (ROCK64) - Tony32 - 02-07-2018

Which OS would you recommend for running a webserver + mysql server on? It's for personal (hobby) use for a project at the university. GUI or not does not matter to me.
I'd prefeer something like CentOS or Ubuntu. Just not sure if the packages already exist for easy install with apt get/yum install.

Xenial Mate Cannot Install Add-ons - Crady - 02-07-2018

Clean install of Stretch Mate on my ROCK64 and not having much luck getting it configured.

There is no Activities menu so I went to Applications, System Tools, Software and selected Add-ons and Activities Configurator but it never prompts for a PW

Also pressing the Super does nothing

I'm trying to set a static IP and install a VNC server among other things but getting there is very frustrating

Thanks

RE: Linux Images (ROCK64) - gene83 - 02-07-2018

I had to add and extra line to /etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0 before I could get route -n to see a gateway.
So my erth0 now has
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.nn.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.nn.1
up route add default gw 192.168.nn.1

Where nn is the third dotted quad of the address,

But this maybe isn't related? Dunno, but something has changed in stretch.
I am running xfce for a gui.

Can you open a terminal screen?

Can you sudo -i, entering your login pw to become root?

Cheers, gene83

Sorry, I meant Stretch Mate not Xenial.  I've tried every flavor of OS available for the ROCK64 except Android and none of them seem to work properly.  In Xenial Mate, every item listed the Software menu returns an error saying it's not compatible.  I just wish there was something that just 'worked' as well as Raspbian
