I'm using PI4 boot from. Kingston 2.5" SATA SSD been fine for about 2 weeks I had ssl handshake error so I turned pi off and on
Now I'm getting
[WARN] Home Assistant CLI not starting! Jump into emergency console

alpine oasis Jan 27, 2025, 3:12 AM

#

What happens in the console?

honest drift Jan 27, 2025, 7:39 AM

#

Got the same issue, pi was unpowered for few weeks and now when powering it up it does this

#

Might try enabling wifi as some ppl had success with that

#

Oh

#

I think i know what my issue is

#

Trying wifi to see if that works

#

Nope, it does get an ip tho

#

Doesn't work after reboot either

#

clever bobcat Jan 27, 2025, 9:41 AM

#

Is that SSD connected via a powered USB HUB?
Please try

journalctl -ru hassos-supervisor.service
journalctl -ru docker.service
journalctl -rk

honest drift Jan 27, 2025, 9:49 AM

#

It's just usb to sata cable directly connected to the pi

clever bobcat Jan 27, 2025, 9:51 AM

#

That often causes corruption because the pis seem to be very bad at providing reliable USB power. I don't know why.

honest drift Jan 27, 2025, 9:51 AM

#

Dang

#

Worked fine until it was powered off for a while

#

I can access the files on my pc if i need to

clever bobcat Jan 27, 2025, 9:52 AM

#

Let's check the logs first.

honest drift Jan 27, 2025, 9:53 AM

#

Will do when i come back from da store

ionic heart Jan 27, 2025, 9:55 AM

#

Seems we have similiar issue, I am using SSD to USB3

honest drift Jan 27, 2025, 9:57 AM

#

So we have the same setup 😅

#

And same issue 🤣

ionic heart Jan 27, 2025, 10:02 AM

@clever bobcat

clever bobcat Jan 27, 2025, 10:03 AM

#

I should have probably told you tomscroll to the newest logs.

ionic heart Jan 27, 2025, 10:04 AM

#

my bad, does that mean just scroll to end?

#

or do I use something like -XE or something

clever bobcat Jan 27, 2025, 10:05 AM

#

Wherever is newest. By default it's usually at the end.
I think we concentrate on the supervisor for now as it has a dependency error.

#

Or at least had. Seems to have fixed itself?

ionic heart Jan 27, 2025, 10:12 AM

#

I'll get logs now from newest, but I've just tried to run login

#

see if anything happens

clever bobcat Jan 27, 2025, 10:12 AM

#

login is only needed in the HA CLI, not the emergency console. It's what puts you into the "emergency console".

ionic heart Jan 27, 2025, 10:12 AM

#

Oh my bad, okay

#

some other things when i Run
'Date'
it says Mon May 27

clever bobcat Jan 27, 2025, 10:16 AM

#

I edited the commands above so the newest logs will be at the top now. Reverse order. Might be easier that way.

honest drift Jan 27, 2025, 10:18 AM

#

#

Docker seems to have issues 😅

ionic heart Jan 27, 2025, 10:20 AM

#

This is
Systemctl status hassos-overlay.service

clever bobcat Jan 27, 2025, 10:20 AM

#

Yep. The supervisor seems to have major issues. I'd try to manually recreate it. Give me a second to find my post. I helped someone else with this a while ago.

#

#1235858744487972897 message

#

But these overlay issues you see above are not a good sign. The OS is mostly read only but some things are not and those errors are not normal.

ionic heart Jan 27, 2025, 10:25 AM

#

✔️systemctl stop hassos-supervisor
✔️docker stop hassio_supervisor hassio_cli
✔️docker rm hassio_supervisor hassio_cli
✔️docker system prune -af
/usr/sbin/hassos-supervisor

#

#

On last command, I get this

clever bobcat Jan 27, 2025, 10:27 AM

#

I'd probably recommend a reflash and restore at this point.

ionic heart Jan 27, 2025, 10:28 AM

#

is there anyway to get my back up?

#

or are those all within the 'docker'

clever bobcat Jan 27, 2025, 10:29 AM

#

They are in the last partition of the disk in a supervisor/backup/ directory.
Backups are meant to save you from, among other things, disk failure/corruption, so storing them on that very same disk is ill advised 😄

honest drift Jan 27, 2025, 10:30 AM

#

clever bobcat Jan 27, 2025, 10:30 AM

#

/usr/sbin/hassos-supervisor was not meant as an argument to that docker command. It's its own command.

honest drift Jan 27, 2025, 10:30 AM

#

Oops 🤣

clever bobcat Jan 27, 2025, 10:31 AM

#

I can't remember why I shared the full path rather than just hassos-supervisor but I probably had a reason.

ionic heart Jan 27, 2025, 10:31 AM

#

haha

#

So this bit
/usr/sbin/hassos-supervisor

#

should be docker /usr/sbin/hassos-supervisor ?

clever bobcat Jan 27, 2025, 10:32 AM

#

You can also just run hassos-supervisor. Above is just the full path to that binary/script.

honest drift Jan 27, 2025, 10:34 AM

#

Les go and ummmm.....

#

Got ha cli now

clever bobcat Jan 27, 2025, 10:34 AM

#

Seems to be WiFi related.

ionic heart Jan 27, 2025, 10:36 AM

#

when i run "hassos_supervisor"
I get
/bin/ash: hassio_supervisor: not found

clever bobcat Jan 27, 2025, 10:37 AM

#

It's a -, not a_.

honest drift Jan 27, 2025, 10:37 AM

#

👍

clever bobcat Jan 27, 2025, 10:38 AM

#

If you get the CLI back I'd also run ha supervisor repair and ha host reboot. I don't trust the system yet And as the message said, give it some time. Pis are not the fastest devices.

ionic heart Jan 27, 2025, 10:43 AM

#

Yeah when I run hassos-supervisor
jq: error: Could not open file /mnt/data/supervisor/updater.json

honest drift Jan 27, 2025, 10:44 AM

#

clever bobcat If you get the CLI back I'd also run `ha supervisor repair` and `ha host reboot`...

i know 😅

clever bobcat Jan 27, 2025, 10:44 AM

#

ionic heart Yeah when I run hassos-supervisor jq: error: Could not open file /mnt/data/super...

:<
See if a reboot changes anything. The overlay service failing concerns me.

honest drift Jan 27, 2025, 10:44 AM

#

have had to wait few times for it to do its thing

ionic heart Jan 27, 2025, 10:46 AM

#

Yeah, nothing with reboot

#

when I sun status on hassos-overlay I'm gettingl ogs like
can't create /mnt/overlay read-only file system

clever bobcat Jan 27, 2025, 10:47 AM

#

I'd recommend a re-flash then. Having to muck around in the OS can sour you on the HAOS experience 🙂

ionic heart Jan 27, 2025, 10:49 AM

#

Thanks for the help, I'm gonna try mess around with it in breaks of work whilst I wait for weekend so I get full day to reset it up and reflash all lightbulbs

#

the fact date us Mon May 27 is probably a problem too

clever bobcat Jan 27, 2025, 10:50 AM

#

But if you do want to play around. You can see the service file with systemctl cat hassos-overlay and cat /usr/libexec/hassos-overlay shows you what the script it executes does.

ionic heart Jan 27, 2025, 10:52 AM

#

"usr/libexec/hassos-overlay" no such file 😦

clever bobcat Jan 27, 2025, 10:52 AM

#

Yeah it seems like it can't mount the disk or the mount point does not exist.
You can check findmnt -T /mnt/data/supervisor.

#

You need to write it with the slash just like me.

ionic heart Jan 27, 2025, 10:52 AM

#

Oh yeah my bad

#

clever bobcat Jan 27, 2025, 10:54 AM

#

As for the data mount you can also check systemctl status mnt-data.mount and systemctl --failed.
But like I said, this would be running an armada of commands and there's no guarantee for a fix.

ionic heart Jan 27, 2025, 10:55 AM

#

Ah so basically look a the files and try to execute them one by one

#

in hope it fixes?

clever bobcat Jan 27, 2025, 10:55 AM

#

No.

ionic heart Jan 27, 2025, 10:55 AM

#

oh haha my bad

honest drift Jan 27, 2025, 10:56 AM

#

thx, working again

clever bobcat Jan 27, 2025, 10:56 AM

#

Yay. I'd recommend you get a powered USB HUB and set up backups to remote storage so in case something like this happens again you can restore things.

honest drift Jan 27, 2025, 10:57 AM

#

maybe i do have to 😅

#

well i do have a usb hub but its currently hooked to my pc 😅 and its not small either 🤣

#

i do have smaller one somewhere

#

idk where the power cord is tho xd

clever bobcat Jan 27, 2025, 10:58 AM

#

What matters is that's it provides power itself.

honest drift Jan 27, 2025, 10:59 AM

#

nvm, found the hub but the power cord is somewhere 😅

ionic heart Jan 27, 2025, 11:02 AM

#

I thought the sata cable itself was fine, as this issue doesn't seem to be related? I don't think the Sata 2.5" SSD require as much power as the little tiny ones

#

clever bobcat Jan 27, 2025, 11:05 AM

#

All I can tell you is that SSD corruption has occurred for people here in the past and was fixed by adding a powered USB HUB in-between.
It's one of the reasons I don't like/recommend pis: https://gist.github.com/Impact123/6ee130240bdc6a7fed2d5224616544a0

ionic heart Jan 27, 2025, 11:05 AM

#

Ah

#

Aren't there any cases more suitable? haha

honest drift Jan 27, 2025, 11:06 AM

#

i will host ha on somehere else eventually but this is what i had on hand 😅

clever bobcat Jan 27, 2025, 11:07 AM

#

ionic heart Aren't there any cases more suitable? haha

It's not the case but the pi's USB ports. I don't own one any more so I cannot test. I can only base it on what I've experienced here and read otherwhere.

ionic heart Jan 27, 2025, 11:07 AM

#

Ah

clever bobcat Jan 27, 2025, 11:07 AM

#

ionic heart

Seems like your network is not working either. Is it connected via ethernet?

ionic heart Jan 27, 2025, 11:08 AM

#

No WIFI

clever bobcat Jan 27, 2025, 11:08 AM

#

Hmm. I'd recommend you try with ethernet.

ionic heart Jan 27, 2025, 11:11 AM

#

I can't at the moment, I'll just flash it over weekend

#

that hassos thing wants to make a directory
"mkdir -p /mnt/overlay/etc/"
but when I run that it says
"Read-only file system can't do that so seems my mnt is wrong 😦
