Raspberry 4 don’t read my hard disk
December 29, 2023, 14:02
I have a USB hard disk and when I plug it in every port, the LED on the disk didn’t turn on
And on WEBGUI OMV, it does not appear
A solution ?
you should check the power requirements of your HDD
I have the same problem for a usb key
do you have the official charger?
no, in the p4 box there was only the raspberry
the first time I plugged in the HDD it turned on, but was not recognized on OMV, so I tried another port, and nothing since
connect a display and see whats going on
I connect a display
the raspberry ask me to login to OMV
but when I plug my keyboard
he doesn't recognize him
?
Well, I restart the p4
Hard disk started but
I have a new error message on OMV : 500 -
Internal Server Error Failed to execute command 'export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin; export LANG=C.UTF-8; export LANGUAGE=; blockdev --getsize64 '/dev/sda' 2>&1' with exit code '1': blockdev: cannot open /dev/sda: No such device or address
What power supply do you have ? Specifications?
Is it still a power problem? even though the disc now turns on?
input : 100-240V - 50/60Hz - 0.5A MAX
output : 5.1V --- 3.0A - 15.3W
Sorry I didn't see the complete discussion
Your good
np, ty
a idea for : Internal Server Error
Failed to execute command 'export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin; export LANG=C.UTF-8; export LANGUAGE=; blockdev --getsize64 '/dev/sda' 2>&1' with exit code '1': blockdev: cannot open /dev/sda: No such device or address
WHats the output from lsblk ?
And the HDD is a rotating disk?
yes
In the error you have /dev/sda2 but lsblk doesn't show a /dev/sda2. And I have seen that rotating disks sometimes needs "delays" added and I don't remember where, but a search for it should give you some hints.
I will look at it
but the error also says that there is no sda file:
there is a sda and sda1 in dev
sda is the disk and 1, 2, 3 is partitions on the disk. You can divide a physical disk into logical parts (aka partitions)
And it complains that /dev/sda2doesn't exist on /dev/sda, or as I would translate it to: partition 2 don't exists on the harddrive
Ummmh okkk thank you it's clearer now, well now I'm going to try to do this second partition manually
Well sda1 is taking up the whole space
So either you need to delete or resize the sda1partition
Okay, I'll try to tinker to have 2 partitions
Just replace /dev/vdb1 with /dev/sda1
in my fdisk -l, my SD and my USB key are recognized but not the SDA, while in lsblk the SDA is recognized
So I can't use 'sudo cfdisk /dev/sda' to delete the partitions and create 2 new ones
Have you run sudo fdisk -l?
yes, there is the SD and the usb key, but not the sda
Sorry the URL assume that you are a super user
what ?
The user you have logged in with has no admin rights
So by adding sudo before the command you wan't to execute you run that command as a admin
And I forgot that the URL I sent is implying that you run the commands as a admin
But I don't know why i'm not the admin xD
I use logs who I defined in "imager"
In Raspberry Pi OS a normal user is NOT a admin. If you know windows the sudo eq. is runas = Run the command as a admin.
yes yes know what is sudo
so, how to do it?
So the user you have logged in with is a member of the group "sudo" and there fore can execute commands as a admin.
But you need to tell the Pi to execute the command as admin! And that you do by adding sudo to the start of the command you wan't to execute as admin.
but I already use sudo every time for fdisk commands
but that doesn't solve the fact that he doesn't have the sda in the fdisk -l while in the lsblk yes
Ok, sorry
Do you have another computer?
Wwindows/MAC?
Euuh no, only my laptop
Can you move the USB drive to the laptop and check it?
the usb key has nothing, it works, I successfully configured it as a NAS, I just plugged the HDD into my laptop, and it works correctly
And you ran chkdsk on the USD drive?
He tells me there is no error
Ok, then Im out of ideas
what if I try to partition it on my window?
I will no longer have errors on my OMV?
