Re: [OS] nvOC easy-to-use Linux Nvidia Mining vBASIC || Community Edition 2.0
Hello guys.
First of all, big thanks to all the team for the great job on this project.
Been using your Distro for 3 month now and it rocks guys. lately I've got an issue with one of my rigs, a faulty riser cause the rig to freeze without being able to complete it's reboot routing.
As Doftorul pointed out more often than not having a GPU dropping off the bus triggers a kernel panic.
So I'm sharing my workaround for those who got the same issue and have only a remote access to the rig:
Create a magic reboot script that contain (magicreboot.sh) :
#!/bin/bash
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
echo s > /proc/sysrq-trigger
echo u > /proc/sysrq-trigger
echo s > /proc/sysrq-trigger
echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger
Edit 5watchdog :
Change all the sudo reboot occurrence to sudo magicreboot.sh
Do the same in 6tempcontrol

Hope this could help
Big thanks to Doftorul, sizzlephizzle and all the nvOC team

Nice idea
Have you tested it?
I tried to implement R.E.I.S.U.B once but was not successful with a different approach.
Does it need to sync twice?
(u) remount the filesystem as read-only, dont think it can sync data to disk after u
Isnt it better to do the full REISUB sequence?
Edit;
If you have a faulty GPU that causes system freeze can you please test this full REISUB sequence:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
# (un*R*aw) Takes back control of keyboard from X
echo r > /proc/sysrq-trigger
# (t*E*rminate) Send SIGTERM to all processes.
echo e > /proc/sysrq-trigger
# (k*I*ll) Send SIGKILL to all processes.
echo i > /proc/sysrq-trigger
# (*S*nc) Sync all cached disk operations to disk
echo s > /proc/sysrq-trigger
# (*U*mount) Umounts all mounted partitions
echo u > /proc/sysrq-trigger
# (re*B*oot) Reboots the system
echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
# (un*R*aw) Takes back control of keyboard from X
echo r > /proc/sysrq-trigger
# (t*E*rminate) Send SIGTERM to all processes.
echo e > /proc/sysrq-trigger
# (k*I*ll) Send SIGKILL to all processes.
echo i > /proc/sysrq-trigger
# (*S*nc) Sync all cached disk operations to disk
echo s > /proc/sysrq-trigger
# (*U*mount) Umounts all mounted partitions
echo u > /proc/sysrq-trigger
# (re*B*oot) Reboots the system
echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger
Yeah I've Tested it for 2 days now and the rig reboot as soon as there's a GPU lost, preventing it from freezing.
At first I was issuing only :
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
and
echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger
and it do work
then Doftorul suggested that I go with the SUSB sequence
