Hi, In the early days with my Pi farm, I lost* a few SD cards.
I then moved on to keeping my / file system on a usb flash drive, this was a bit better, but I still lost* a couple of those. I then tried putting / on my NFS server. This worked fine, except that when I had too many (4+) RPis using this arrangement, crashes (recoverable) would become annoyingly frequent. I've also done things like stopping swap space and so on. My current arrangement (I have around 10 RPis) is a mix. I have a few using / on my NFS, a few "SD card only" and a few where frequent writes (images etc) are stored on the NFS as a mount point. With this, everything ticks along nicely and I haven't lost a card for a few years. I also use "raspibackup" to image the SD cards once a week. I have to say that I have a bit of an aversion to using powered USB hubs - it's a personal preference! Cheers * "lost" means completely unreadable/unwriteable On Monday, October 31, 2016 at 9:34:25 AM UTC+1, Jacek Skowroński wrote: > > Hi, > How does Your sd card "live" in raspberry pi? > On my example I lost 5 cards already - all of them by 3-4months long. > Is it normal? > > Yust now I'm looking to get rid of sd cards and write down data somewhere > else. > Any topics?
