Unable to add second station RPi. **solved**

Hi

I am getting this error message when attempting to add a secondary station:

Error: Storing settings failed (/root/meteobridge.conf): backup of /root/meteobridge.conf failed: Invalid argument

Running the following:

Platform: Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+
RAM: 941 MB total, 789 MB free (16% used)
Storage: WD SLC, 29.3 GB total, 26.8 GB free (9% used, 1446.7 yrs)
SW Version: Meteobridge 5.7 (Oct 31 2023, build 2838), FW 1.3
Uptime: 7 days, 17 hours, 9 minutes Buffer: 1 items (0%)

FYI adding a secondary station on my TL-MR 3020 works as expected running the following:

Platform: TL-MR3020 (no USB hub)
RAM: 29364 kB total, 1808 kB free (93% used)
SW Version: Meteobridge 5.7 (Oct 31 2023, build 15100), FW 1.5
Uptime: 0 hours, 6 minutes Buffer: 2 items (0%)


Thanks

unless you have a recently saved (recently will say: no changes made to your configuration since the last backup of your configuration - if ever done), I would save all my settings (--> screencopies of ll pages where you enter configuration data of some type - including your events), then connect to my MB via SSH (e.g. w/ PuTTY) and rename the config file:

Code: Select all

mv /root/meteobridge.conf /root/meteobridge_old.conf 
and then go through all the configuration points and save them again - including adding a 2nd station.
Chances are that it will work then ...
If you have a recent configuration backup, I would reload the configuration from the backup file after the renaming

That looks ok. I think I will need remote access to inspect what raises the error.

The root file system on SD card is corrupted and switched to "read only".

Code: Select all

[  315.573043] EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p2): error count since last fsck: 2
[  315.580141] EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p2): initial error at time 1698793202: ext4_find_dest_de:1933: inode 2144: block 3166
[  315.592648] EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p2): last error at time 1698793202: ext4_evict_inode:267: inode 2144: block 3166
[  325.351839] EXT4-fs error (device mmcblk0p2): ext4_find_dest_de:1933: inode #2144: block 3166: comm ncftpput: bad entry in directory: rec_len % 4 != 0 - offset=0, inode=1701257251, rec_len=25966, name_len=114, size=4096
[  325.376829] EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p2): Remounting filesystem read-only
[  325.384076] EXT4-fs error (device mmcblk0p2) in ext4_evict_inode:267: Readonly filesystem
I did a reboot and file system starts up ok. No clue if it has repaired itself fine or it will just run into new problems a few CPU cycles later on... we ll see.

P.S.: Error is back, looks like file system (sd card) is permanently damaged.

P.P.S: I tried a forced repair of device "/dev/mmcblk0p2" via e2fsck, we ll se how it behaves after the just initiated reboot.

Hi -

Thanks for taking a look this. I tested this morning and was able to add the second station and all worked as expected.

Thanks for your time and quick response.
