With 2019 coming to a close I thought it a good idea to add something to my post: Last August I replaced my Logilink enclosures with Adata ED600 enclosures and this DID solve my mounting problems. So, when buying external, USB attached, HDD enclosures for Raspbian OS (or Debian) make sure the data s...

Hello community, Been busy with so many things that it took some time before I was able to follow up. Here's what happened: Last time, I posed three suggestions for moving on: 1) restart HDD partitioning, now using (g)parted 2) replace my RPi 3 B+ by an RPi 3 B (which I also happen to have) 3) get m...

Hi everybody, These are the scenarios I executed for testing, using the original RPi power supply (wall outlet) and inspired by @thagrol, @RaTTuS, @Ernst and @rpdom. Before I start I power up my RPi 3 B+ with it. I also start up my USB 3.0 hub with its own power supply (wall outlet). Scenario IA RPi...

@rpdom: OK, maybe I underestimated ext HDD R/W-activity power consumption. I had no trouble with this combi (WD 2.5" 2 TB HDD in a LogiLink UA0256 case) hooking it up to my Windows 10 desktop but I recall having issues with it hooked directly into my mediabox. The latter being one of the reasons to ...

@Ernst: I have an original RPi power supply around, but I'm not very optimistic about the results: why would writing to the HDD take more power than reading from it? But I'll try: How exactly should I wire up my gear? Like this (I): RPi power ---> RPi mobo ---> ext HDD Or this: RPi power ---> RPi mo...

Hello community, Here's what I did (testing): 1) Disconnect external HDD from RPi 3 B+ 2) Power up RPi, login (as 'pi') and 'sudo dmesg > dmesg_0.log' I have briefly logged into the log and saw nothing disturbing (must say I'm not very familiar with this kind of logs; this part of the log available ...

Hello community, Thanks for your reactions. Here's my reaction: @thagrol: Ad 2: I did some reading on (the role of) dmseg and I will see what it will give back to me if I run some controlled testscenarios. I will get back on that (later, for The Netherlands are suffering from tropical weather condit...

Hello community, My RPi 3 B+ has a fresh OS install (Raspbian Stretch Lite 2018-11-13). While I'm building myself a NAS I added Samba, NFS (server + client) and mini DLNA. I also added a number of scripts I will use to RSync the data on the external HDD with my other (Debian Linux / Intel based) NAS...
