Re: HashFast BabyJet users thread

Not sure if this is a pool thing (Eligius) or something else, but my BabyJet has been dying once/twice a day after running completely stable for over a week. What do you make of this?

It will just keep updating every time it detects a new block, but it won't mine or switch pools. Restarting seems to fix it temporarily. Any ideas?
The new firmware will fix this.  Known issue.

Excellent, thanks Phil.

@btchedge: I have failover pools configured, it just never fails over. Sad

Okay so here's the latest in version hf8:

1. Fixed bug that was causing a reboot every hour.
2. Created new update mechanism that doesn't need to reboot RPI.
3. Restored cgminer 3.9.0h2 - This puts the hashrate calcs back and seems to be more reliable.
4. Added "Check Now" button to the update section on the settings page.  (This causes an immediate upgrade if one is available)
5. Added "boot_delay=1" to try to help some RPI's hanging at the "rainbow" when rebooting.  (Thanks rMuD!)

Everyone running the HashFast image will get this within the next hour provided your RPI's are online and Automatic Updates are enabled.  You'll be able to tell from the status page.  (Look for "0.2.4.3hf8" for MinePeon version)

Let me know if you have any problems or suggestions.

-Phil

So far, so good, Phil. Thanks much for your time and effort. And please, ignore DoogieHouser. He's obviously a moron and the rest of us appreciate your presence.

Re: Test new MacOS Corruption Fix Builds

New builds again.  We need feedback from MacOS X users who were previously experiencing corruption.  This is a blocker for the release of Bitcoin 0.8.6.

As I mentioned on GitHub, I had what OMG4 considered to be a working/clean database. I didn't sync for a couple days, then downloaded and ran OMG5. Database corruption detected after attempting to sync for a minute or two. Since then, I tried opening OMG5 again at a later time and it synced just fine (no corruption detected). Downloading OMG6 now.

P.S.
Is coming from a database deemed clean by an older client (OMG4, 5, etc.) an adequate test or do we need to rebuild/resync from scratch (or the latest torrent copy) with each new version? Thanks.

This happened to me today (again). Latest OSX, bitcoin-qt 0.8.5. FileVault 2 enabled, but it doesn't sound like that matters.

Any update/progress?

That's okay, you can just create it and add the line gmaxwell mentioned.

You've got the filesystem types mixed up, the 1G partition should be fat32. the second can be ext3 or ext4.
Sigh... thanks. Sorry, went full retard for a moment there.

What I've done:

1. Created 1 GB partition (ext4)
2. Installed to USB using unetbootin
3. Added a second partition as described in your guide

Won't boot. All I get is "Missing operating system" when I try to boot off the USB drive. Checked fdisk, partition is flagged bootable. Mounted the partition, files are there. I'm perplexed. Thoughts?

Thanks.

P.S.
I realize the CPU liquid cooling is likely unnecessary, but figured I may as well keep the unit as cool/quiet as possible.
