Hi,
Sorry if this isn't new, though I doubt it...
(my problem is pretty weird + I haven't figured out where the search button is on this forum yet so you'll have to excuse me...)
So I bought the rock64 2GB, "v2" apparently, from Amazon hoping to run OMV and get a great cheap little NAS...
received it about a week ago
Apart from the rock64 with a plastic case and power supply,
I used 2 external usb 3 drives - transcend storejet 2TB & a WD Elements 1TB + usb 3 hub (also from Transcend)to connect them.
and a samsung evo 64GB sd card
first sign of trouble -
followed this article this and tried using ayufan's stable build 0.8.3
the board quickly overheated and started rebooting....
subsequent tries during the week resulted in pretty much the same, maybe with less overheating, but still crashes and reboots.
found official build from the omv site - stable
(or so it seemed)
anyway - connected the WD drive first without hub and configured SMB and started using...
figured performance sucked because of ntfs so reformatted to ext 4 and got the expected ~100MBps (on both read and write) and was happy...
copied data from 2nd drive, connected it, formatted, copied data back...
all seems to work great.
2 days later I notice that suddenly any time I try to write a file it starts at full speed but a few seconds later speed drops to < 10MBps
read performance still ~100MBps
and basically NOTHING would solve this other than reflashing the SD card and starting over and the problem would ALWAYS return...
I suspect it works till the OS crashes a few times
I replaced the power supply, tried booting from USB instead of SD card
tired without hub...
tried various smb tweaks... nothing worked.
Even when re-formatting the file system from OMV's interface it takes forever meaning OMV is slow to write on the drive LOCALLY, it's not an smb or network problem...
I also suspected that it's bad contact on the usb ports reverting to USB 2.0 speeds, but that would kill the reads as well + writes still should be ~30MBps
I'm beginning to think it's a faulty board + OMV's intolerance to crashes....
Anyone experienced anything similar ?
