Checking emmc memory health for Netgate 1100 appliance
-
I checked this article on health of emmc memory for my Netgate 1100. https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/disk-lifetime.html
When using command
mmc extcsd read /dev/mmcsd0rpmb | egrep 'LIFE|EOL'
there is no output.
Please advise next steps. -
Try it without the grep. I don't have an 1100 but there's probably nothing matched:
mmc extcsd read /dev/mmcsd0rpmb

There is a lot of info but no mention of eol or life. I have zfs so is that a difference from the doc?
Thanks -
@applesalwaysred Hmm I have ZFS on my 2100:
eMMC Firmware Version: 73103517
eMMC Life Time Estimation A [EXT_CSD_DEVICE_LIFE_TIME_EST_TYP_A]: 0x01
eMMC Life Time Estimation B [EXT_CSD_DEVICE_LIFE_TIME_EST_TYP_B]: 0x01
eMMC Pre EOL information [EXT_CSD_PRE_EOL_INFO]: 0x01
Secure Removal Type [SECURE_REMOVAL_TYPE]: 0x08The doc says “Not all disks support all of these fields.” Maybe the 1100 doesn’t?

@steveits Thanks.

Yes, some 1100s don't have eMMC that supports reading that data.
