CLOSED: Error screen after a couple of days

[slarver]

Hi folks!

My amahi/fendora setup was working great until last month when It suddenly start to get some error message this after a couple of days of uptime, if i restart the server it will work four att couple of days and then the same error messages appears, it seems to me to be something with the storage..
I am newbie and don't know what to do so i wondering if somewhere here a able to help me out on this!?

This is likely a failing hard disk.

Is this drive new? If not, might want to check it for errors. There is plenty of guidance on the internet on how to do it.

I have two western digital red 1tb disk in RAID 1 and the Amahi/Fendora software is on a 32GB Compact flash Card (IDE), the disks is maybe six months old.

Not a good idea to run Fedora and Amahi on a Flash Drive. They are not designed to take the pounding like a hard drive. There are many read/writes done over time with Linux that will wear out the flash drive.

The only recommendation I could offer is to try and fix the errors using command line guidance you find on the internet.

Personally I use a hard drive and it lasts for years. I have had flash drives go bad in months just being used for basic file storage.

ok I will try that.
And i will have in mind to change the compact flash to a hard drive.
Is there any easy way to get my configuration from my Compact flash card to a hard drive?

Thank you for all help

No problem.

You can backup the flash drive using Clonezilla. There is some guidance in the wiki on how to use it.
