Hello
I have been running Open Media Vault 4.1.21-1 (arrakis) and Logitech Media Server 7.9.2 together on a Raspberry Pi 3B attached to a dual bay IcyBox Ib-3662u3 (Prolific 2773 chipset) with two 8+8 Tb 3.5” HDDs for quite some time without any issues – except occasionally it can be a bit slow.
I wanted more speed (and I admit that I have been worried about tkayser’s repeated warnings in these forums about the Raspberry potentially causing HDD data corruption), so I decided to upgrade to the Rock64 with 4Gb and, crucially, USB 3. However, the Rock64 does not seem capable of running both OMV and LMS simultaneously without crashing – in fact, I am not sure it can run either separately – which is actually quite surprising because the Raspberry handles both OMV and LMS quite well.
I have scrupulously followed the specified instructions to flash the Rock64 OS images to the SD cards and eMMc modules, using Etcher, good quality SD cards, the recommended software sources, etc.
I have tried several versions of OS (Ayufan’s Linux and Armbian from armbian.com and Sourceforge), plus several versions of LMS – all without joy.
I have been in touch with Pine’s Support Team and this has been their reply:
“Support USB 3.0 HDD transfer can be tricky, especially with UASP enable. This highly pending on your USB 3.0 to SATA cable (especially with ASM chipset) whether able to handle UASP transfer well. Raspberry Pi doesn't has such issue due to it only can operation in USB 2.0 bus. Sorry that we aware about such issue but we are not expert that able to help you to resolve further. You bring up this topic at Armbian forum or chat with developer that has such experience on PINE64 IRC (http://pine64.xy then /join #rock64)
This design fault is not related to ROCK64 SBC.”
Which makes me wonder, whose fault is it then?
Anyhow, I am now thinking of the Odroid C2 as a better alternative ‘upgrade’ to my Raspberry OMV+LMS setup.
Any views, suggestions or advice out there?
Thanks in advance for any tips.
