save life of sd-card: ramlog & nodiratime
[Copy link]

Hi @all,
I'm new here in this forum with my Banana Pro I got today. I had a Raspberry B before and now I try to configure the BananaPro with Bananian the way I configured the Raspberry. I'm not a Linux-Crack but I will do my best and red a lot.
My Raspberry I configured with the wide known ramlog-script from http://www.tremende.com/ramlog/.
Now I wonder why I can't find any information about installing it on Bananian - when I try it there are unsolved problems and I don't know if it is ok to force an installation to solve it.
I also red that a ramlog service is available on wheezy but not on jessy I have installed now.
Then I looked into fstab to set the nodiratime parameter but the fstab is empty so I don't know what to do now.
Thanks a lot and sorry for my english ;-)

Ramlog is not compatible with Systemd which is default on Jessie. We try to fix this but job was never completely finished.
BTW: Armbian is using ramlog by default on Wheezy version for past two years / since start. There are also more SD card friendly tweaks. |

Hello Igor,
thank you for your reply. Of cource I know your Armbian and I really thought of installing it. But I like to use the BananaPi as a leightweight server without Display and you has Pre-installed: Firefox, LibreOffice Writer, Thunderbird and Lightweight XFCE desktop. So it also is configured for using grafik output and the full power ist not only on server-tasks, right?
And as a noob I don't know how to use your great features without the stuff I don't need ;-)
Thanks a lot

Look again 
I only provide one desktop image, the rest is CLI (Server), various base variants. |
|

Oh I did not realize - sorry for that ;-)
So for my usecase Debian Jessie with Legacy-Kernel would be the right ? |
|
|

It depend, you might also go for kernel 4.3.3 ... recommended for all kind of server scenarios. |

ok, great - i choose the 4.3.3 - you have a new fan :-)
I copied the image to sd and start the Banana. Then I wanted to go through your dokumentation and tried:
dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
but I got the errormessage:
update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; falling back to defaults
What to do now? Did I anything wrong? |

Also I'am not able to start WLAN:
iwconfig
wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
service networking restart
wpa_supplicant: /sbin/wpa_supplicant daemon failed to start
run-parts: /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wpasupplicant exited with return code 1
Failed to bring up wlan0.
The Setup for Bananian I tried before with Bananian also does not work.
Any Ideas?

On kernel 4.x there is different wifi driver - brcmfmac and you might need to copy /dtb/bananapipro.dtb over /dtb/bananapi.dtb ... or change / force path in boot.cmd to point to dtb/bananapipro.dtb
BTW: Warning is not error ;)

Ok, after your post I red a lot of using this dtb, I did not know before, and now, with your hint, it works :-)
Thanks a lot!!!
Do you have a hint for me about this warning of dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration? |
