Some problems with USB stick

Tamriel

I install the PF 1.2.3 on flash card (kingston Dtmini10 -4GB)
and after same time i have this problem, it's repeats all the time and no dependency how mush time is uptime. 2 sticks i try and the same results.
config:
MB-EliteGroup K7VTA3/L rev.6.0 SocketA(462) <via kt333="">AGP+LAN USB2.0 ATX 2DDR <pc-2700>CPU- athlon xp 1700+

I can't reboot

thx

Ps i speak en not well sorry

The inode error will happen with bad media, not just when the filesystem is out of inodes. Change to a new CF card and the error would likely go away. If both cards are the same brand, try a different brand or type.

Also, you should be running NanoBSD/embedded on there and not a full install, or you will wear out the CF, it's just a matter of time.

Tamriel

kingston and transend have the same bag :(

I can't install the embedded version of Pfsense on CF, write error on N byte on both cards

Advise me brends which 100% works fine.

thx

jimp

I use Sandisk, Transcend, Kingston, all without problems.

It could also be an issue with your CF adapter (usb card reader, cf-to-ide adapter, etc) causing write errors.

The fact that you can't write a nanobsd image to the card tells me that it's definitely something with the CF or what it's being attached to.

Tamriel

CF i mean USB stick
I try almost all available USB ports (burn embedded PF)
Maybe i bought none legal devise

Tamriel

the same bag on both sticks :(
in addition first one is new …

The Kingston DTmini10 is a USB flash drive. Spec sheet, pdf.
It should work though. ???

Steve

Tamriel

it's a miracle after i clear my kingston (scan with HDD regenerator ) i can burn the embedded PF(in progress and no bags yet ):)
Fantastic :)

Thx so mush :)

is it difference between 2GB and 4 GB embedded images ?

jimp

CF, USB, shouldn't really matter. Only major difference is the PC interface. Same notes about wear-down would apply, and there have been cases of "ghost shift" shoddy media that appear to be branded but are falsified.

Check this guy's report on SD media:
http://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/?p=918

It could be a BIOS bug, but that is doubtful if you have trouble writing it on two devices (the PC you're imaging it from, and also the firewall device).

jimp

Running a scan on that may have caused some defective sectors to be remapped or removed from service on the media, but it probably isn't a long-term solution. It may work for a while though.

Tamriel

на встроенной версии pfsense оно может снова поломаться ?

on an embedded version of pfsense it can go wrong again?

jimp

Eventually, yes, but it would take longer to show up since there are less writes to the embedded version.

Tamriel

current hdd is a piece of %% :)

May not be a POS, could be the controller/BIOS. Disable DMA (check the doc wiki for how) and try again.

Tamriel

I try to change IDE cable , maybe it helps

stephenw10

I had forgotten my own experience with CF.
You MUST disable udma in the bios if you are using compact flash and BSD. PIO mode only. Something about compact flash not fully meeting the IDE spec, though it works fine under linux.
I'm not sure about USB but i'd try this first.

I repair my hard ( victoria , hdd regenerator,Low level Format) and change Ide cable
funny function
THX for conversation!
