HASS.IO -> transfer from SD card to SSD or USB

[jodur]

I finally got the V5.0 beta stable working. For the beta to work stable i added 2 extra lines to the config.txt

1:
dtparam=sd_poll_once=on

This line makes disable the time-out messages for the SD card

2:

usb-storage.quirks=174c:0825:u

This disable UAS (for my specific device geekworn x285) for USB3.0 devices as explained in this link https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=245931

I don’t know if the kernel part from HassOS uses this feature as in PiOS, but in my case i had now reliable preformance and no corruptions after powerdowns (unplugging) or controlled shutdown.

HassOS 5.0

[Jamie_Pryer (JamieP)]

nice!
are you running HassOS 5.0? if so, how did you edit config.txt

Debugging the Home Assistant Operating System | Home Assistant Developer...

I have activated Developer access to HassOS 5.0 using the above procedure. That gives ssh access on port 22222 directly to the operating system.

[jodur]

There a several ways to do this. The easy way is direct after buring the image, to edit the file on your computer when the drive is still attached to youre computer.
The other way is mentioned also in this thread, by gaining ssh acces to HassOS

[Jamie_Pryer (JamieP)]

thanks, tried a few times but still getting stuck

SSH into HassOS

Hey all, not sure what im doing wrong. HassOS 5.0 on rpi4 i keep getting this error: “no support auth message” [image] Steps taken; formatted a 8gb USB stick, on my win10 machine to be NTFS [image] used putt key gen to create a new key [image] i then copied all the data from the public key (made sure to select all and copy) opened Notepad++ pasted the values there started with: ssh-rsa AAAAB3N ended with: W517QuT1K7Q== rsa-key-20200727 set encoding to be ANSI [image] set edit…

[bonestaak (Bob Walberg)]

Thats it!! i used the 32 bit, but Erik is right, now i used the 64 bit rpi4 version.

@jodur

This disable UAS (for my specific device geekworn x285) for USB3.0 devices

But you will not have the full speed with this. UAS is what really brings speed. Sad it is not working.

[jodur]

Speed was never a issue with SD for me, if you use decent SD cards.
The real problem is that plugings like FluxDB or MariaDB are not best fit for running off SD, because of the wear and tear and possibile corruption on SD cards.

Running of SSD for that purpose only is already a surplus for me.
You will still get very good speeds on the USB 3.0 but not the maximum as possible as specified in the specs.
It is always a bargain between speed and reliability and in in my case i have found the right balance.

[BertrumUK (Neil B)]

I have quirks enabled on my SSD enclosure and still get very good speeds with UAS disabled. Pi4 4GB running supervised.

Is there an up-to-date guide on how to move your Raspberry Pi 4 from SD card to SSD?

[Vlad (Vladislav)]

I did it today.
Copy all files from SD card to any computer HD:

Download and using balenaEtcher burn Raspberry Pi OS to new SD card.
Boot PI 4 from new SD card.
Use following to prepare PI4 to boot from USB: How to Boot Raspberry Pi 4 From a USB SSD
Stop on Step 7.
Download HassOS 5.0 for PI4 64 bit.
Use balenaEtcher to burn image “HassOS 5.0” to SSD drive.
Turn off PI, remove SD card connect SSD.
Turn PI on.
Navigate to http://PI4_IP_Address:8123
Wait for setup to finish.
After about 5 min it’s done.
Copy all files back to PI4 shared folders.

PS. Very strange but after about hour I see Update for Operating System 4.11 on Supervisor:

[truglodite]

Yeah don’t install that of course. 5.0 is a beta build. 5.x won’t show in the default ui as an update until it is a release.

[Vlad (Vladislav)]

I want to use 64 bit image.

[carsten_h (Carsten Friehe)]

@Vlad

Copy all files back to PI4 shared folders.

Why don‘t you use a snapshot to restore the old system?

[truglodite]

If you flashed the pi4 64bit image, then you are already there. Just don’t hit the update button in the ui until it shows a 5.X release for the update (likely won’t be long before that happens).

Also, I agree with @carsten_h. The accepted method is to restore from a snapshot. Just be sure you update your addons and disable your database(s) before taking a snapshot.

[Vlad (Vladislav)]

My old HA has been run on Laptop, Ubuntu, Docker and it not HassOS. Also it was 32 bit.

[truemana]

@Vlad followed your exact process and I can’t get to the setup screen. It shows up on my router as homeassistant and I try the IP but it doesn’t connect. Very frustrating day… any ideas???

[Vlad (Vladislav)]

Maybe not good USB adapter.
I’m using Plugable USB C to M.2 NVMe Tool-free Enclosure USB C and Thunderbolt 3 + Kingston 250GB A2000 M.2 2280 Nvme Internal SSD PCIe Up to 2000MB/S

[truemana]

@Vlad hmm I was able to get Raspbian running on the SSD this morning and setup HASS manually, so not the hardware. However I want to retain the Hass.io style management.

You mentioned to stop at Step 7 of the TH guide - did you complete step 7 or complete step 6 and stop?
