lol bought ssd for nothing nah joke but that happend to me 2 i think ( but the usb was also failing..)

 

[ika]

i already have a usb 3.0 to sata adapter

Maybe too late for your order, but (as I posted about these in some other threads earlier), I deploy routers mostly with these:

https://www.silicon-power.com/web/product-M80

There are 256GB, 512GB and 1TB options (I usually leave one half unpartitioned to give plenty of breathing room for the garbage collector). They are actually SSDs and I and never had any problems with them so far (knocks on wood).

is there any command via ssh to test usb speed not using file transfer

this is what i paid for my ssd

@ika, I don't believe these are SSDs.

depends on how you look at it both are flash memory

Doesn't matter how I look at it. Nand isn't an SSD. The controller/firmware and nand spec'd to work with those are what make an SSD.

USB drives are just toys in comparison.

I'm on it.

Thanks. Should I wait before reinstalling Entware and the rest then? Or can I just copy the 2 missing mod files?

An important amtm update is available, no version change.

What's changed
- Fixes overzealous post-mount check that changed the file date.
- Downloads mount-entware.mod when missing.

Important
If Entware option ep is present in amtm: Just update, it will fix missing things when necessary. No reboot required.

If Entware option ep is NOT present in amtm: Update amtm and then enter ep. It will prompt to install Entware.
1. Continue to install Entware. At 'Select device' it will say "Found compatible previous Entware installation'.
2. Select that device.
3. Next select '1. Reuse previous Entware installation.'
4. Finish install. Nothing will be lost. Sorry for the inconvenience.
5. The router will reboot when finished.

All done.

All done.

Can confirm things are back to normal after updating amtm and running ep as you instructed.
Seriously, thanks for your swift reply to this issue, you've no idea what a mountain of trouble you just spared me from. I could come and hug you extra tight right now (nah I wouldn't, that'd be creepy, but you get the idea hopefully).

thx

Good to hear.

Aww, thanks man
Thankfully, I have 99% of the fix already coded in. I knew a long time ago if I fckd up something like right now I needed an easy way out.
I'm glad I had that foresight years ago.

All good now!

thx

Lucky you, your installation did not have an issue.
I can tell from the output.

Ugh, I got bitten by this bug (all Entware wiped out/non-functional and various scripts needed repair/re-install) when upgrading amtm yesterday, but I had chalked it up to just bad luck. I had also quickly followed it up with a firmware update to 388.6 Beta1, so I wasn't sure which one caused the problem.

Wish I had resisted the upgrade urge, but I knew I had a brief window of opportunity to do these upgrades (no one else at home on the network).

The option to use the compatible - seemingly - previous install would have shown. Unless you needlessly reformatted the device before that. You did not know. Now you do.

i started from scratch yeh reinstalling all scrips

Two things might have gone wrong when updating amtm 4.2 on release or during the Diversion 5.0 update:
- The post mount entry was removed or
- The file mount-Entware.mod was deleted or not downloaded. This is the likely scenario for most.

Either way, when rebooting, Entware could not mount due to the missing bits.
Nothing would have been deleted in the Entware folder, hence reinstalling by using the previous compatible installation will restore everything back to normal.

Yeah, I did see the option to re-use the previous Entware installation, but was REALLY trying to do what I could at that point to avoid any router reboots (the whole family was back and reliant on the network by that time, including various IPTV streams running, etc...).
