Problems upgrading/installing 24.11 on SG-5100
-
@stephenw10 Thanks for the tip. The eMMC died many years ago. I thought I disabled it in the BIOS. I'll double check. I definitely targeted the hard disk with the installer
/dev/ada0.Edit: It is the M.2 hard drive. No luck so far.
-
AFAIK there is no way to disable the eMMC. It's a problem on the 5100.
Perhaps the SSD has gone read only? That would be a lot of writes but that is a much more common failure mode for an SSD.
-
@stephenw10 OK, I could see something like ntopng writing a lot to disk. Question, how would I go about zeroing in on the SSD going into read only mode as the culprit if I can't SSH, webConfig, or console once it locks up? Is an rsyslog server going to be needed, or is there some other method to diagnose this?
To be clear, the thought is that the install/upgrade process has so many consecutive writes that the SSD goes into read only mode. Did I get that right?
PS -Thanks for the validation on the eMMC cannot be nuked on the 5100. I was going crazy trying to figure out how to permanently disable it.
Thanks!

First check the SMART data. It should have an estimated wear level value.

The above only provides legacy SMART information - try 'smartctl -x' for moreSo there the 'Unused_Rsvd_Blk_Cnt_Tot' is above zero, it still has spare blocks to use in the event of others failing. Other drives often have more useful values.

You sir win! Here is my most un-favorite line in my output:
=== START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION === SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: FAILED! Drive failure expected in less than 24 hours. SAVE ALL DATA. No failed Attributes found.Ordering another disk ASAP.

Yikes!

@stephenw10 I can't thank you enough. Seriously. I've been going stir crazy for the past couple of days.
Question, should we rename the title of this thread? I don't want to give other SG-5100 owners the wrong impression when they see the title.

I think it's probably fine to leave it. Not many people come looking for problems before they encounter them.

Uhhh I do! That is how I ended up in this thread. I have an SG 5100 and wanted to see what others experience has been upgrading to 24.11.
I suspect it will not be as much of an issue (I hope) since I went with a bit larger SSD. It shows about 1.5 years of life left.
@LamaZ - What size was your drive?

I could change the title? The drive failure here isn't actually 5100 specific.
-
@stephenw10 - I totally agree, but that is what originally pulled me into the thread. I wouldn't bother changing the thread title.
I also think that my wear rate is actually slower so I expect the 1.5 year estimate to be more like 3 years.
