š I bought a 7050T to use as a lab switch (48 Port 10GBase-T variant). It runs EOS fine but SONiC would be much better š
I replaced the internal /mnt/flash with a USB flash adapter, and tossed in 128GB drive formatted ext3 (aboot doesn't seem to support ext4, only ext3 or fat). For the heck of it I also upgraded the switch with 8GB DDR3

I was able to mount /dev/sda manually to /host/ and /root/host (Not sure if it needs one or both here). So it at least seems like this can be solved, maybe it's some kind of timing issue?
I experimented with it a bit further, hooked up the management port, SSH'd in, modified the docker systemd unit and tried mounting the docker root from the host filesystem
Even got many of the containers up but a number of them crash

Would be great if anyone had any ideas, or at the least someone can replicate my steps and get a bit further on this switch or a similar one. I'm thinking a module needs to be loaded or a driver is missing? If such a driver even exists. Thanks š
