Struggling with USB and Pi3
by Pigi_102 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#58YFF)
Hi all,
while it's not Slackware related, I'm writing here trying to find a solution.
I have a Pi3b ( but had this problem also on a Pi3b+ ) whee I have attached an external 1Tb HD to use as NFS tsorage for other servers.
It always keep disconnecting and this obviuosly lead to non usable nfs share and sometimes to ext4 corruption.
The disk is connected to a powered USB HUB that I think is THE part of problem but cannot identify exactly.
I thought that using a powered hub would have fixed the "Undervoltage detected" issue that some times used to appear on my boards, but it seems that the fix is worst than the problem :(
I use the nfs share as backend for backup, so it's quite important to have it rock solid.
I'm starting to think to replace the USB HUB with something tested ( and recommended ) by others.
Do you have any suggestion ?
Thanks in advance
