Hi all, I was wondering if I am the only person struggling so much with the EON? I have not had a single stretch of reliability with it since getting it and I am losing my patience.
Is OMV really this difficult to work with? I have another raspberry pi setup with octopi for my 3D Printer and that one is bulletproof. I don’t consider myself a techy but I have worked with Arduinos and Raspberry Pis and tend to fumble my way through the learning cycle and land on a working system eventually.
My latest challenge is that I cannot even plug an HDD in, I installed a brand new HDD this week (Thinking that my secondhand HDDs were the issue) and within 5 minutes it gets stuck in, what sounds like, a power up/shut down loop and OMV cannot see it. If I move the HDD to an external enclosure, plug it into my laptop, it’s perfect. If I run OMV with no HDD it’s perfect. So that’s my HDD fine and OMV fine, right?
My only conclusion is that the Argon EON just does not work. I am at a complete loss and strongly considering tossing it once and for all. It just kills me the amount of money I have spent on it and never had it work reliably.
Are there any last ditch solutions that I should try?
My last attempt at this stage is going to be setting up OMV with just the pi and an external HDD (none of the EON bits) to see if that pinpoints the issue as a hardware malfunction.
