SG-1100 boot fails after power outage and can't reach network for reinstall
-
Tried reinstalling to see if that would fix the trouble but the installation fails early on when it appears to be partitioning/committing changes to the filesystem. It says:

Yep .. Your internal storage device has died.
It has been debated that the kind of hardware used in your device was a poor design, as its very hard to replace (soldered to board), and are prone to wearouts over time.
More modern designs use an ordinary SSD in its place, - replaceable in a minute, if ever need be.
-
I believe error 6 is a general IO issue. Given that ZFS makes it very unlikely that a power outage would cause filesystem corruption and given the timeout message, it does seem to be a hardware issue with storage. I suggest checking with TAC since you have support with your Netgate appliance.
-
@m-d-frederiksen I'd be interested in your 3100 but isn't it end-of-life?
-
It is indeed EOL, hence the fair price.
Its however a very low milage speciment .. It only really filtered my old moms browsing for crosswords on Sundays :-)
BUT .. as Marcosm suggests above, you might be eligeble for a more hardcore kind of support, i.e. hardware replacement on warranty or some something ..
Suggest you follow that path first. Get back to me, if you so desire at a later point !
-
@marcosm Yeah, they come with support now but mine didn't. 5 yrs ago (purchased 1/2019) they sold them with 'community support' rather than TAC Lite. Thanks though.
-
@Jeffx123 If you're referring to the dashboard showing community support instead, it's not a problem - you still have TAC Lite support bundled with the appliance. Though given the date you've provided it's out of warranty and TAC will likely come to the same conclusion.
-
@Jeffx123 The Netgate Installer apparently lets you install onto USB on the NG1100. This is a change from the old installer which would only use the internal storage.
Maybe not ideal compared to emmc but it would get you back up and running as a stopgap if necessary.
-
@bigsy Thanks, that's an interesting idea, I'll dig into it.
-
@bigsy Took your suggestion and installed onto a USB drive. The device boots nicely. Interestingly the internal storage came back to life for a couple of boots before failing again. I'm able to use the USB 3.0 port and the performance seems fine (eg. time to boot), or at least as good as it was before. Apparently there are questions as to how long a usb drive will survive the write load, we'll see. Thanks again for the suggestion, if it works out, it seems a nice way to give the hardware a new lease on life.

@Jeffx123 said in SG-1100 boot fails after power outage and can't reach network for reinstall:

Yup. I would install UFS and enable RAM disks to avoid that problem. Then again USB drives are cheap.
