Sorry, forgot to write in English :wink: My OH2 on Raspi3 recently developed a kind of an amnesia. After updating to OH2.1 via openhabian-config it just stopped working after a couple of hours of running. This happened twivce within the past 24 hours. It just does not respond and I can´t Putty in…

I just tried it again and added some elements to sitemap. Then a manual reboot … changes gone. A newly created sitemap also just disappeared after reboot. What the heck?

That is known behavior. Files are not actually written to disk immediately but cached on your system, then written to disk in the background. Now it can happen that an SD card gets damaged in a way where you can still read but write operations are not possible. On your Linux system changes seem to t…

I had same symptoms with openhabian + RPi3 + usb flash drive. First errors came after updating through apt-get: Read only filesystem! Uptime counter stopped at 51 days :wink:

After I was able to confirm the death of the SD card (flagged as read-only even on my WIn machine) I was finally able to move and boot everything from a USB thumb drive. But this time my uptime counter did not make it past 48 hours. This morning I couldn´t connect to the Pi again. Plugged it to a s…

[image] summx: Would you suggest runing it of of a USB hub? I’m pretty sure it won’t run directly from the RPi usb port. Mine is attached to a hub and works fine …

Thanks. I´ll give it a try. Otherwise I might own a defect Pi3? It is eating through my memory devices like a beast. That definitly won´t suit a home automation system.

[image] summx: Otherwise I might own a defect Pi3? Don’t think so. Extensive persistence service could cause that problem. There are many hints here in this forum to move the tmp and other folders via tmpfs into memory. During the two years I have used my Pi with a sd card I had to replace …

Just use a usb hub that has external power suply to be sure that your ssd gets enough power.

I bought a powered Sata-USB adaptor and again followed this writeup to move everything to the new drive: How to Make Raspberry Pi 3 Boot From USB But I run into trouble as the system becomes unresponsive after about an hour. Last time I couldn´t even log in via Putty. Now it let me log in and it g…

Read this link through carefully. https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/bootmodes/msd.md You do not have to move or copy whole os but just to format your new ssd and copy new raspian image to the ssd. Just like installing to sd card. Those read only warnings, did they come…
