  • [RPi5] USB SSD drive unmounting after a while

    And it looks like I may not be alone with this issue (as a sanity check): https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=361171

    How do I do the equivalent of: sudo rpi-update pulls/5778 on libreelec please?

  • [RPi5] USB SSD drive unmounting after a while

    Actually, by chance i think I managed to catch the errors with those logging commands

    So that seems to be what happens when the drive unmounts. That final error is me trying to ssh with a third terminal

  • [RPi5] USB SSD drive unmounting after a while

    Apologies for the late reply... been busy with the festive period.

    Thank you very much for the replies. I've been updating to the latest nightly every time a new one has released and the issue persists. The issue with having a constant ssh connection is the issue is very sporadic. Sometimes the uptime will be a day or two, other times it'll be a few hours; it's very inconsistent.

    Is there a more permanent log file which I can look at which persists between reboots?

    genisho It doesn't look like OS 10 is an option for me since i'm using the RPi 5 here but I might go so far as to try a version 11 nightly and see if the issue persists there.

  • [RPi5] USB SSD drive unmounting after a while

    I seem to have an issue (seems to be consistent across several nightlies now) that after a while, the SSD which is connected via USB 3.0 unmounts, prompting a restart of the Pi 5. It doesn't seem to happen when watching content so must be some kind of low power state the Pi 5 enters when idle. I can interact with Libreelec but none of my files are present and I can't ssh into the Pi; I'm assuming all I'm interacting with here is what is loaded into RAM.

    I'm using the official 27 watt power plug, and never had this issue when using a Pi 4 (with the standard Pi 4 plug) so it must be some new, lower power usage features unmounting the SSD. Or maybe something to do with HDMI CEC when the TV is turned off.

    Any ideas? Thank you

  • [RPi5] Power requirements? Should I get the better power supply?

    Just received my Pi5 and noticed that I actually have to use a different power supply to the 5.1V 3A Pi 4 model[1]. I've noticed that libreelec sometimes fails to boot on the original power supply as it gets hung on the boot screen logo but swapping to my Steam Deck's 45 W powersupply fixed the issue and it boots very quickly. I have two questions:

    1) What is everyone elses experience with the Pi5's power requirements? I was kind of hoping to run Libreelec in more of a low power environment but even on the Pi 4's charger, it was hitting around 70-80 'C during playback (and network file transfer).

    2) Can I get away with something like this since the official black Pi 5 power supplies are all out of stock.

    Many thanks
