Setting Up RPi4 64Bit

Is the node working over TCP, and only QUIC is not working? You may want to try this: Binding to a specific interface to stabilize QUIC connectivity

But I would not bother. Ignore it. There is almost no traffic over quic anyway.

BACK ONLINE! Had to unmount the device a run a fschk! All good! :cowboy_hat_face: :partying_face: :cowboy_hat_face: :partying_face: :cowboy_hat_face: :partying_face: :cowboy_hat_face: :partying_face:

How do change disk size? I had two one with 3TB and other with 2! They in reality have 1.8T and 2.7T how do i change the configs? Containers have that info. What command should be sent on terminal to it to change?

I have one here Hub 4 Portas Usb Alimentado - Logilink UA0128 ! Will this one work?

Does it have an external power supply that can provide enough peak power to cover surges form the drives?

From the description it does not seem so.

How much hdd need? For each? Amps and volts?

Depends on the hdd. You can look up in the datasheet.

Ballpark — 2.5” small HDDs require 5V. Current can be calculated from active power reported in the datasheet. For example this drive says 1.7W, which yields 340mA. But this is average. Peaks can be much higher, including the initial inrush. So, tripling it should give you a reasonable ballpark.

Ideally, you want to use hdd that has its own power supply, but I have seen disks (notably, WD book) that inspite of having their own external power supply still draw 500mA from the port.

You can get one of those eBay usb power meters that can record peak current, connect the disk though it and take it through its paces to get peak current. Then double it, multiple by number of drives, and get the hub that provirs that much current at 5V.

Avoid hubs that support QC standards and other PD, they often provide a lot of power but at higher voltages. You need enough current at specifically 5V.

Or just get the one I linked above. Or search on eBay “usb powered hub 5V 3A”

I’ve found one with 5v 2a! I only have two nodes… so 1a for each should do the work… or am i wrong? Even with 4 disks should work 0.5a for each! It went offline today… almost one month without a usb hub!

Any toughts on it? I want to buy a cheap one…

Difficult to say. If your math is correct and the hub specs are correct, it should work. Sometimes cheap devices say one thing but the results are different when you get to using it. How confident you are in it versus how much it will cost you is something you need to work out and then decide if you should buy it or not.
