Amahi Forums

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.

thank you for all the help!

No problem.
