Boot from nfs
Recently, i have recurring issues with my SD cards. So i think the most stable solution would be to boot from a NFS share. However, i never done this but know that @mk01 is doing it from a daily basis. Can he, or someone, explain how this is setup.

RE: Boot from nfs
I've got nearly everything running when using NFS boot. However, one issue persists.
When XBMC is started using service xbmc start it starts, but will eventually close (after about 1 min). When XBMC is started using su xbian -c "/usr/local/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin" no issues occur. The XBMC log doesn't say anything, so i guess it must be some upstart script that is causing this. Upstart log: Terminal 3380.51 2445.37 starting xbmc 0.67 0.66 0.60 3/130 3843 3380.52 2445.37 started xbmc-changesettings 0.67 0.66 0.60 3/129 3844 3380.56 2445.37 stopped xbmc-changesettings 0.67 0.66 0.60 3/129 3847 3380.91 2445.37 started wait-for-state xbmc-loaded 0.67 0.66 0.60 2/131 3856 3392.40 2446.15 started xbmc-loaded 0.98 0.73 0.63 4/144 3902 3392.53 2446.15 stopped wait-for-state xbmc-loaded 0.98 0.73 0.63 4/143 3905 3392.98 2446.16 started xbmc 0.98 0.73 0.63 2/141 3910 3394.97 2446.51 stopped xbian-xbmc-bridge 0.98 0.73 0.63 1/156 3941 3399.46 2450.64 stopped xbmc-loaded 0.90 0.72 0.62 2/155 3946 Seems to be caused by a failing xbian-config-xbmc. Restarted that, and now it seems to work. pilight - modular domotica solution

RE: Boot from nfs
Still another issue.
Everything i reboot my RPi software wise, the initramfs line in /boot/config.txt get commented. I also noticed an error in the initramfs. It gives an error when mounting the NFS share with "no such file or directory" but it does boot from NFS. So i think the initramfs tries to mount my NFS configuration as a normal folder. pilight - modular domotica solution

RE: Boot from nfs
B2 is doing that if during reboot / shutdown new root= as accessible for kernel directly is. so mmc and no UUID or LABEL. also initramfs is force used if any package install / upgrade asked "reboot-required"
use /etc/deault/xbian-initramfs to control that (FORCEINITRAM=no/yes) Please read rules and do a search before you post! . FAQs . How to post log file? . Looking for answers? Please start here |

RE: Boot from nfs
/etc/init/xbmc-failed-start.conf
it is started early in boot. job is stopped prematurely if there is event emitted, that xbmc is up. otherwise xbmc-failed-start will finish with sleep and execute "failed start" operations.

RE: Boot from nfs
10 minutes back I was sure you will ask that.
yes, it is like soft and hard quota limit. this parameter is soft. it means if YES it will not remove initramfs usage if manually added. but it won't add it, if does not exists (config.txt initramfs entry). sounds a little silly now, but was making sense at the time of implementation. during-shutdown code is trying to guess if next boot can be direct via kernel. FORCEINITRAM=yes will break the process in case system decides to boot without initramfs. Please read rules and do a search before you post! . FAQs . How to post log file? . Looking for answers?

RE: Boot from nfs
Where does the actual script reside to comment the initramfs?
Also, i noticed that i created by NFS boot with a certain ip address. However, when i want to change the clients ip address it does boot. But when i want to login through SSH i see the MOTD but it never comes to the actual prompt. pilight - modular domotica solution

RE: Boot from nfs
No, by changing the IP i mean the address reservation in the router and rebooting the RPi afterwards.

RE: Boot from nfs
I finally found the bug of why my install hang.
When looking at the fstab there should be a: /run/lock /run/shm /run/user /sys/kernel/debug /sys/kernel/security However, none of them were there. So i changed the fstab entries to: Code: /dev/mmcblk0p1 /boot xbian rw 0 1 pilight - modular domotica solution

RE: Boot from nfs
If your phone suddenly indicates that the memory card is failing, the first thing you should do is remove the memory card and test it in another phone. Your device system is at fault if the memory card is still useable and performing correctly. If the issue persists, there might be a problem with the phone's interaction with the memory card. sedecordle
