Raspberry pi, ha os using ssd help.

[mental hearth]

Hi. This morning I went to pick up my new coral device, I was mainly gonna use it for frigate. I was setting in up, and suddenly my home assistant interface was acting up, after some time it didn't work at all, the ssh was not responding either so i couldn't do anything other then plug in and out the rpi to restart everything. After waiting a bit i figured out it was not starting up, so i connected the rpi to my screen to check the output. I got a screen i have never seen before, after what i could see it was telling me that it was not able to read the ssd as fat anymore. So i tried connecting the ssd to my computer and found out i couldn't access it there either. Nothing was working i got frustrated, and just planned on start all over cause, the ha was messy anyways. But after reinstalling everything, putting the rpi in usb boot mode (Followed every step of the https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxtDyMbDOh4 tutorial) after 10 minutes of doing shit on the new ha, it acts up, and the same error is coming. I also get a error when i first come to the welcome screen on the start of the setup(Only worked to register on my phone) SSD: Seagate Expansion Portable Drive 1TB | Rsp: 4 8gb | Ethernet. Does anyone experienced something like this before, and now what to do ?

Some of the log: Unable to read partition as FAT | type: 32 lba: 0 oem: 'sh: topi' volume: 'ality":247," | rsc 27002 fat-sectors 29809 c-count 0 c-size 39 | root dir cluster 0 sectors 0 entries 25954 HUB [01:00] 2.16 000000:01 init port 2 speed 1 HUB [01:00]

Remember Windows can not read pi formatted disk out of the box. So you will get errors if you plug it in and windows might just format it for you. It is possible the disc has run out of spare sectors you might be able to check it with a Seagate tool

Before i installer the os using pi imager, i completely cleaned it, so when i looked at it in disk manager it was black and no partitions was made, i also only plugged it in ny pc arter the problem occured. But i will check it using a seagate tool. 🙂

I cannot find anything wrong with it, do you recommend upgrading since this is hdd (Didnt know this)

Like, could it be the problem ?

[mystic dust]

You could try burning the HA image again and then restoring your backup, it is a good idea to action the base install first and then do a restore from the supervisor menu rather than doing it during the install.

I would go for a small SSD out of preference to an HD as they are so much quicker.

[mental hearth]

I have nothing to backup, i found out i wanna start again, but it keeps happening, when starting all over, the interface is not working and i need to reboot the rpi to get it up again, but when i do that i get the rpi screen witch says it cannot read the storage as fat.

I will try one more time to be sure, this i time i didnt get the "Something went wrong loading loading onboarding, try refreshing" when registering first time

Are you using a powered USB hub for the SSD and Coral? Because I bet the Pi can't provide enough power for both of those.

[mental hearth]

No i am not, the coral and hdd is connected direcly to the pi

How can i provided power for them, none of them have a power input

[lone marlin]

Powered USB hub

Those three magic words

[mental hearth]

Is it any way for me to check if the rpi can do it or not ? And do you have any recomendations for a good Powered USB hub ?

[lone marlin]

The Pi can't power the hub

The Pi doesn't have enough power for all the USB devices

Buy any powered USB hub you can get ... wherever you are in the world

[mental hearth]

I do understand it cannot power the usb powe hub, alright, so nothing special to look for ?

Think you just found my problem, thank you alot❤️

[lone marlin]

It's a very common problem

[mental hearth]

Yes, didnt even think about it😂

[lone marlin]

Most people don't, it's not an obvious issue until you find it the hard way

[mental hearth]

ye, lost everything to it so ye, for its good to start over, when it was a mess before anyways. Do you have any good recomendations for a good one ? Not too expensive, 2-3 ports ?

[lone marlin]

I don't even know where in the world you are

I'd guess America 😛

In which case, what I bought from my Amazon may not exist in yours 😛

[mental hearth]

Ï am in Norway

Congratulations @mental hearth! You just advanced to level 1!

[mental hearth]

But i can check it, if u have a name for it

[lone marlin]

UGREEN USB Hub 3.0
Which you can power with your own USB C power supply

Powered USB Hub 3.0,VEMONT
Comes with a power supply

[mental hearth]

Thank you!

[mental hearth]

For the one without power supply, can i just use a apple plug and a normal micro usb ?

[lone marlin]

Did you read the message you quoted?

(no, if you had then you'd not have asked that)

Which you can power with your own USB C power supply

USB C

Not micro USB

Also really depends on what that "apple plug" is capable of putting out

[mental hearth]

¨This is micro usb

Not usb-c

[lone marlin]

The one I named uses USB C, hence why I said USB C

If you're looking at something else I have no idea what you're looking at

[mental hearth]

I looked up what u name it

What does the one u had in mind look like ?

[lone marlin]

That's not what I have, mine is USB C

(well, USB-C power)

This is the fun of trying to find a product from a different country 😛

[mental hearth]

Ye😂

I just think it was the same, cause the name was exactly the same xd

[lone marlin]

B08KXNDTPV may find it if you're lucky

If you're even luckier it may be the same device

[mental hearth]

Something like this or no ?:

[lone marlin]

Yup, with a USB C power input

[mental hearth]

Thats atleast what coming up anywhere

I am not able to get that one

Would this work too u think ?

[lone marlin]

You simply need an externally powered USB hub

If the thing you shared images of takes external power then it'll be fine
