Hi, for the long time I’ve been using OpenHAB running on Raspberry Pi 2 and plain Raspbian. Long time ago I installed Raspbian to SD card by instruction provided on their page and then used this nice script in order to move installation to external SSD drive: Adafruit-Pi-ExternalRoot-Helper . I didn…

[image] igorua: Or maybe there is another way to archive this goal? Hi @igorua , why not using the buildin “move root to USB” function under System Settings? Should do the job as well.

Hello @igorua , Interesting script! I’d be very interested in your experience with it and openHABian. openHABian is a standard Raspbian system with some further packages and modifications to the system settings. I don’t see a strong reason why the script would not work for openHABian. There might o…

[image] igorua: Thank you for the help! I didn’t know there is builtin functionality. I used it and it worked just fine. No need to use 3-d party script any more. What does this functionality do exactly? I’d like to have my root on USB-SSD also, but on a RPi2, so I can’t boot from it. So does…

Is it possible to have an RPi 3 boot Openhabian directly from SSD? I have had several corrupt SD cards recently.

yes, it is possible. I already used it - but you can’t chose this (yet?) with openahbian-config. see here for example: [image] Pi 3 ssd Server Has anyone out there gotten their raspberry pi3 to run off a ssd?. I have been looking into the pidrive boards. I als…

Hi, i´m reusing this “old” Thread for my question. I´ve moved “root” to an USB SSD(Samsung 128GB) drive. After a few hours the “root” (/) is gone. When i restart the PI everything is fine for a few hours. So i dont think its not a HDD spin down. Any ideas?
