Raspi3 B+ external SSD USB freezes and hangs

For some time I've tried to get my Raspi3+ext SSD Setup working. Currently I do a complete Backup via dd towards a NAS drive. The Image sizes are rougly about 100 GB.
between 2GB und 100 GB the Backup always crashes.
The SSD ist connected directly to the USB Port without additional Powersupply.

So far I've had the following errors:

<pre class="brush: csharp">// Comment

So far I've tested the following:

External Power Supply for ssd
Differen connector for SSD
USB Stick instead SSD
Backup from SSD to USB Stick
Backup from SSD to SD Card
Backup from USB Stick to SD Card

Everytime I get some kind of Kernel error, cpufreq error aso.

Next Step ist to test Raspbian instead of ubuntu.
Till now, raspbian was able to do a successfull backup to sd card in the same pi.
Next Step ist Backup to Network NAS.
If that works as well I'll try my ssd with Raspbian an Backup to NAS.

Actually, the only solution was a Raspbian native install on SSD. Everything works as perfect since then. qed.

Raspi 4GB problem Ubuntu

https://askubuntu.com/questions/94542/how-can-i-repair-my-installation



In the meantime, developers can use a temporary workaround to enable USB on the 4GB RAM version. The temporary solution will consist in editing the file /boot/firmware/usercfg.txt to limit RAM to 3GB, as follows:

IObroker in Homematic

Finally, after one year with Homematic IP and Homematic running via a Raspi and the ELV expansion module, I'll try to include more Raspis via iobroker into my automation.

Right now, the role or structure for accessing other Raspis GPios through Homematic IP is not clear to me. However I have the following idea:
Setup will be as follows:
- Rasberrymatic with ELV expansion and iobroker addin --> multihost slave
- Raspberry with some kind of ubuntu and iobroker installed --> multihost master



After some thinking I will got with an Iobroker installation on another PI only to test ioBroker.
Simulatneously I installed debmatic:
https://github.com/alexreinert/debmatic
on that pi and will try to link it to the first homematic as well as iobroker.


Next step with IOBroker on second PI was to install RPI extension as well as Vis.
RPI needs config in Instance Menu. If error with writing to certain block occurs,e.g.:

18309) Cannot evaluate: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/mmcblk0p2 7318052 4276676 2701448 62% / /1024

Then you probably need to uncheck the Raspberry Checkbox in RPI Config on IoBroker


Iobroker auf raspi 4 installieren

Io Broker move to new host:
https://forum.iobroker.net/topic/12365/raspberrypi-defekt-daten-retten/6

Break.

Iobroker went to new Raspi4 because of Memory consumption.

Debmatic ist out of discussion as well as running iobroker on the homematic pi.

Now I'm gonna link Iobroker on PI 1 to homematic on Pi 2 via Network.

Problems with radar2.plugin on Raspi3 Ubuntu:

 After reboot i get:

Issuing the following command:

sudo hciattach /dev/ttyAMA0 bcm43xx 921600

solves the error till next reboot.
