I have a Raspberry Pi 3+ Running OpenHAB and Zigbee2MQTT. Last month I started having some issues, one of these was I would install a binding but it would uninstall if I rebooted I was told that this was due to a write issue on my SD Card. I bought a new SanDisk Extreme 32 GB microSDHC Memory Card…

How are you restarting? Nicely or just pulling the power?

I am using Zram. I always use Putty and sudo shutdown or sudo reboot. I also wait for the LED to stop flashing before removing power. That being said, I have not rebooted the Pi since getting everything installed and running properly last month. A side note, I also checked what temperature the Pi …

I’m just trying to eliminate other potential sources of file system corruption.

No problem. I should have added that to my original post. I don’t know a great deal about Pi’s but I have seen some tutorials that show it is possible with the right configuration to boot the Pi 3+ via USB.

If the problem is in fact caused by too many writes to the SD card, using openHABian with the ZRAM option will indeed address the original problem. If not than we don’t know what the cause was so can’t say,

When I installed OpenHAB I did check the ‘Use Zram’ option. Is there a difference between the Openhabian image with Zram and selecting use Zram when installing OpenHab?

[image] gforce2010: Is there a difference between the Openhabian image with Zram and selecting use Zram when installing OpenHab? There is no option to use Zram when installing openHAB. If you install just openHAB (e.g. sudo apt-get install openhab2) all you get is openHAB. Period. Nothing els…

Use openHABian and its ZRAM feature.
