There is something wrong with the rock64's usb3 port so its been slowed to usb-2 speeds with the updates as of 6 months or so ago by stretch updates. Prior to that it destroyed a spinning rust drive with a usb3 tail on it, and has since trashed a 60GB ssd here. But that SSD was redone to ext4 on the pi, and is still working, its /dev/sda1 in this df list on the pi. The sdb is a bigger ssd, 120GB, and has worked on the pi for kernel builds, takes it about 4 hours. Works on the pi, isn't even recognized by the rock64. ext4 diffs between stretch and jessie on the pi I guess. But thats not even a SWAG, just a WAG. pi@picnc:/etc/apt $ df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/root 30387788 11249780 19105240 38% / devtmpfs 468264 0 468264 0% /dev tmpfs 472584 0 472584 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 472584 12540 460044 3% /run tmpfs 5120 4 5116 1% /run/lock tmpfs 472584 0 472584 0% /sys/fs/cgroup /dev/mmcblk0p1 41322 32253 9070 79% /boot /dev/sda1 1079220 4 1079216 1% /media/boot /dev/sda3 50132520 3070508 44539168 7% /media/slash /dev/sdb1 35635848 49128 33753456 1% /media/backupsd /dev/sdb2 79086196 53272 74972460 1% /media/work tmpfs 94520 4 94516 1% /run/user/1000 I've unplugged, a month or more ago, the rock64 from the wall and my net. It needed a fan to survive a kernel build at J4, j2 was best without the fan. I needed the net cable someplace else. Then needed the extension cord too. Since replenished but the SSD is now in the 6040 machine called shop which I now need to rename. I need to get a couple more SSD's from newegg and at least 2 more of those usb3-sata thingies from pine. The original one is now on the pi's usb2 port. So the rock64 has been cold for at least a month and its net cable is now on a redpitaya so I can play with a VNA. I'll note when the rock64 is alive again. > > > Date: Tue, 14 May 2019 10:58:03 -0400 > > From: Gene Heskett <[email protected]> > > To: [email protected] > > Subject: [Emc-developers] using buildbot on the pi > > Message-ID: <[email protected]> > > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > > > Greetings all; > > > > Can the buildbot be rigged to run on a pi with an SSD on the usb bus > > for its working storage?
