After 4 years of hard working, both hard drives in my LS-WXL have bad sectors. A replacement of hard drives is necessary, as the price of both SSD and large HDD are very good at the moment, I decided to install the system on a HIKVISION C160 256G SSD, while using a HGST 3TB HHD as storage. Here’s how I overcome the issues and finally did it. Prepare As described in: https://github.com/rogers0/OpenLinkstation Download files from https://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/armel/daily/kirkwood/network-console/buffalo/ However, this url might show “Not Found” as the daily build might fail, you have to check another day, say https://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/armel/20191028-01:09/kirkwood/network-console/buffalo/ls-wxl/ Files are downloaded and put in the first partition of the SSD. SSD partition is done as:
/boot 200MB ext3 / 255GB ext4 /swap 800MB
Install Power up the machine and login with ssh:
ssh installer@192.168.1.100
Follow the instructions and reach the point when partition guide is done, there I met the first issue: OOM. Solution is to turn on SWAP. SSH with another terminal window and select “installer shell”, then
mkswap /dev/sda3 swapon /dev/sda3
Login again and redo the process, the installation is completed without further issues. Post install After installation, a few packages are installed to meet my need, however there’s a lot error messages showing up:
Failed to reload daemon: Refusing to reload, not enough space available on /run/ systemd. Currently, 11.0M are free, but a safety buffer of 16.0M is enforced.
To resolve this, I need to increase the run partition size, edit the initramfs.conf:
vim /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf
Find the line says: “RUNSIZE=10%” and change it to “RUNSIZE=15%” Regenerate the initramfs
dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-4.19.0-6-marvell
-— UPDATE —- Fan control Set signal 0/85/170/255 to pwm1
cat 85 > /sys/devices/platform/gpio_fan/hwmon/hwmon0/pwm1
Check RPM of the fan
cat 85 > /sys/devices/platform/gpio_fan/hwmon/hwmon0/fan1_input
For automatic fan control, install afancontrol and edit /etc/afancontrol/afancontrol.conf accordinglly. https://afancontrol.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
