[Bug 1810215] Re: for Seagate USB drive enclosures, SAT (e.g. smartmontools, hdparm) works on kernel 4.13 but not on 4.15

2019-08-08 Thread James Kingdon
"but we
probably don't need to try any harder tracking down the history of the
Armbian kernel releases here in an Ubuntu bug report..."

Agreed, so the following is just out of interest...
re kernel versions, sorry for the confusion, it looks like the reboot I did 
today moved me up another kernel release without me realising, so I was on .111 
at the beginning of the day and .113 at the end. No idea what might have been 
there back when things were working, but as you say, it's not so important.

lsb_release -a doesn't mention armbian:

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS
Release:16.04
Codename:   xenial

But the login message does:

Welcome to Ubuntu Xenial with Armbian Linux 4.14.133-odroidxu4

And I should probably stop spamming this bug report with irrelevant
noise now. It seems like the problem is well understood, it's a shame
there isn't a simpler way of choosing between the uas and usb-storage
drivers, but at least it can be done.

Many thanks for all the help.

2019-08-08 Thread James Kingdon
Hmm, you've got me curious now. It's been a while since I really looked
at the ARM boards. sources.list.d contains armbian.list which has a
single entry:

deb http://apt.armbian.com xenial main xenial-utils xenial-desktop

That seems like a reasonable candidate? I don't recall if I used an
original distro from Odroid or (more likely) went straight for a release
from armbian - they were the my favourite when I was building an ARM
farm a couple of years ago.

References to odroid in /etc/apt seem to be limited to apt.conf.d
/01autoremove-kernels. That might answer your earlier question about
what the previous kernel level was as it mentions 4.14.111.

Yes, hdparm -S. Not sure if it's relevant, but the distro is 16.04.6 LTS
(Xenial Xerus) in this case.

2019-08-08 Thread James Kingdon
Hi Nathan, thanks for the reply.

I'm not sure what kernel was there before. I was expecting to see traces
in /boot but the only references are to 4.14.133.

Yes, the drives are Seagate 4TB ones, ID 0bc2:331a

Thanks for the link to the known issues. I was looking at boot.ini so it
seems I was heading in the right direction. I'm not sure if the copy I
can see in /boot is active during the boot process or not, or if I need
some additional steps to make that happen. I'm sure I can dig that out
with the help of Google.

I came to this page in a typically long and circuitous fashion after I
noticed that the external drivers weren't spinning down anymore and
discovering that hdparm wasn't working. Basic file IO was still ok.

2019-08-08 Thread James Kingdon
I got hit by this after a power outage cycled my file servers and
presumably activated a previous automatic kernel update (the servers
normally stay up for months at a time).

The kernel that is currently running is:

Linux oban8 4.14.111-odroidxu4 #2 SMP PREEMPT Wed May 8 17:30:01 CEST
2019 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux

The temporary work-around documented on the Smartmontools Wiki worked
for me (thanks for the link!), now I have to figure out how to make the
change persistent on these ARM based systems :(

[Bug 125702] Re: casper-rw fs not cleanly unmounted on persistent live USB shutdown

2012-01-16 Thread James Kingdon
Looks like I've run into the equivalent problem after doing a full
install onto a USB stick (I got frustrated with live/persistent
approach). After any shutdown -h the system reports that the root fs was
not cleanly unmounted and does an fsck  reboot. I'll try adding a
sync/sleep to /etc/init.d/umountroot and see if that helps.

Out of curiosity, why remount read only as opposed to just unmounting?

Regards,
James.

[Bug 871254] Re: iwlagn module in 11.10 beta2

2011-10-22 Thread James Kingdon
Hi,

Could someone explain how to install 3.1.0-0301rc9-generic onto 11.10
(or point me at instructions). I tried adding the 'precise' repository
and installing linux-image, but the result  failed to fully boot (no-
GUI).

Thanks,
James.
