Hey, I host at the moment one Raspberry Pi 3 whit one 4TB Seageate HDD. This one move in the next Days to my Parents House and i bring up a second Node whit a Raspberry Pi 4 and a 4TB WD Red at my home. I run on the Pi: StorJ Node, Storj Watchtower, Storj Exporter, Prometheus and at the moment Gr…

@LinuxNet You mention Raspian x64 …? Can you point me at the image please as I can’t find it? :thinking: My standard Raspian image reports armv7l so 32bit… Thanks!

Unfortunately x64 is not yet officially available. But you can easily switch to 64bit execute via ssh sudo rpi-update then insert arm_64bit=1 into /boot/config.txt and restart the Pi. Check with uname -a [aarch] @paulie1001 I will report tomorrow.

Nice one @LinuxNet - Thanks ! Done. I’ll see if it makes any obvious difference over the next few days…

@LinuxNet Have you tried the new Ubuntu 20.04?

So far I can see no real difference between Raspian x32 and Raspian x64. Even a new SD card makes no difference. Neither with the RPi3 nor the RPi4. The fact that my success rate will decrease is more likely due to the new second node at home because now every node has only a 50 percent chance of wi…

did u try raspbian buster lite and add “arm_64bit=1” to the /dev/config.txt ?

Sure. see my screenshot 6 posts above. Edit: not in /dev rather /boot

No, I had / have Ubuntu 18.04. The image was adapted to the RPi 4 with 4GB. Google → Raspberry Pi 4 Ubuntu Server / Desktop 18.04.4 Image (unofficial) from Jameschambers Thanks for this info, is this stable enough for production use? Would like to try it on my next node.

I only used it until 18.04.2 and it was very stable. I only had one problem with Unbound and PiHole which is why I switched back to Raspian at some point. However, I will install version 18.04.4 on my new RPi next week. The last update is from February.

[image] LinuxNet: because now every node has only a 50 percent chance of winning the race. This doesn’t sound right: the added node will half the chance of the first node to participate in a race (by stealing the second half) but once it enters the race the success rate should remain almost t…
