SSD disconnects. Can't mount again #146

Closed munecito closed 2 years ago

munecito commented 2 years ago

Describe the bug The Raspberry pi 4 B starts the backup but after some time the SSD disconnects and fails to mount again. The SSD appears to be there but can't mount it.

To Reproduce Connect the SSD, connect the card reader and insert the Sd card

Expected behavior To do a full backup

Desktop (please complete the following information): Raspberry pi 4 B.

Raspberry pi OS 64bit full (DESKTOP)

Smartphone (please complete the following information): N/A

Additional context The SSD is a sata type in a USB 3.0 enclosure. I suspect it is the pi ports that can't supply enough power to the enclosure. I have to try with an active hub but I have not got one.

If I do the backup to a Samsung T5 1Tb it does work. But I am not sure it would do a CF Express.

I think you are completely right. Most problems like this are caused by insufficient power-supply. I strongly recommend to use a powered usb-hub or at least a powerful power supply. Please have a look at Useful accessories
