Hi guys, Sorry to bother you with another startup question, but i’m receving the “Error: system service failed” error at boot as well. My setup is a new raspberri pi 4, 8b, with a stock charger. large heatsink on top. 16gb memory and 1TB 970evoplus m2 samsung. This last ssd i purchased new today. …

I was able to get in and start syncing with this command: ssh -t umbrel@umbrel.local "rm -f ~/umbrel/statuses/update-in-progress && sudo reboot" Thanks

Some discrepancies here: You said that you have a 8GB RAM memory RPi, but shows only 4GB RAM “Mem: 3.8G 136M 3.4G 8.0M 277M 3.6G Swap: 0B 0B 0B” Then you said: “16gb memory and 1TB 970evoplus m2 samsung” And in logs shows that you are trying to use a 16GB memory USB stick? The log is very cle…

To try, because definitely is a hardware failure change power supply change SSD case change USB cable change mSD card and re-flash it with latest UmbrelOS

Ok thanks. I had already got a new approved Pi power cable and changed and re-flashed the SD card with the latest OS. I’ll order another USB cable, and if that doesn’t work, I’ll try to change the SSD case.

I just noticed that my SSD is glued to the CryptoCloaks shell without a case. The SATA to USB cable plugs directly into it. I ordered another cable to see if it helps. I also ordered yet another mSD card just in case. I hope one of those work, because I don’t know what else to try. When I plugged my…

@DarthCoin FYI, when the systemd service umbrel external storage mounter doesn’t fail, but the umbrel external storage updater fails, the issue is likely with the update process. This is confirmed in the logs by: [image] btpl21: Nov 15 14:51:22 umbrel external storage updater[1298]: Yes, it doe…

Thanks for pointing in the right direction. Noted. Will add this in troubleshooting manual
