OK, W set to zero and uploaded tracks with no errors. I guess that means that your modified hijack is what fixed the problem.
Just out of interest, will enabling/disabling write-caching have any performance benefits/detriments in this environment?
Do you have any idea why I was unable to use /dev/hdb to specify the slave SSD with hdparm?

no errors. I guess that means that your modified hijack is what
fixed the problem. Great. I'll make it an "official" release shortly. Just out of interest, will enabling/disabling
write-caching have any performance benefits/detriments
in this environment? I think I'd suggest disabling it, as our kernel doesn't know anything about safely flushing the write cache, and (contrary to common opinion) the empeg s/w *does* write to the media (dynamic data partition)during normal playback operation. So just leave write-caching off for safety with these slow-writing SSDs. For regular hard disks, no issues either way. Do you have any idea why I was unable to use /dev/hdb
to specify the slave SSD with hdparm? No. But that *has to work* if you want a two-drive system. I'm probably just missing something obvious.. Cheers

Great. I'll make it an "official" release shortly. Or maybe not. Sourceforge seems to have finally broken my scripts, and removed the ability to easily upload binary files.I refuse to use their absolutely STUPID "file release manager" crap for Hijack, so this might be the end of Hijack availability
at Sourceforge. Hmmph. EDIT: hacked it, working again. For now.

I've also updated the bigdisk builder stuff on my server, to include Hijack v504 in the images. Untested, of course.

I added the second drive back in late last night and uploaded ~27GB of files with no problems whatsoever. I had a look in the fids folders on each drive and it seems to be balancing the files between the two.
Mark, as ever, I am most grateful for your assistance.

I am using v504 disk builder image with a single 64 GB SSD of the same brand and getting a ton of these virtual memory errors:
VM: do_try_to_free_pages failed for mkfs.ext2...
show_message("1530.-1 nomem err")
This is on an old 12MB player, any ideas why?

Which exact builder file are you using (name and bytecount, please)?
Can you capture a trace from the serial port while running it (helps a LOT)?
Thanks.

Mmm.. looks like you are doing everything The Right Way(tm).
So, the mkfs thinks it is running out of memory,
which is very odd given the amount of swap space
we allocate for its use.
If I can find my 32GB CF card, I'll give this a try
on that later today in a Mk2 12MB unit. And then perhaps
again with a larger hard disk.
Cheers

If you grok Linux, you could just finish off the process by hand.
A reboot (from its present state) will give you a shell prompt
at the serial console, where you could re-issue the mkfs.ext2
command from the script by hand.
Cheers

I know enough to fumble around, but I couldn't figure out how to get a prompt on the builder image as every reboot attempts to reformat the drive. Seems like it would be pretty easy to work around if I could get to a prompt. Is that mkfs cmd the end of the script?
Thank you so much for such a ridiculously fast response btw, and I really appreciate the help.

Here's a builder version that logs you in, and tells you what to do. Have fun.

Thanks for that new image. However, when I manually run the first cmd (mkfs.ext2) I get the same nomem error.

I'm not sure why it fails to use the swap space for memory, but.. oh well. Can you connect the drive to a Linux box (internally, or externally via USB or whatever) and just do the same commands to it from there? That's the workaround at this point. Cheers

Mmm.. no problems here. But regardless, this might help: builder_bigdisk_v3_alt.upgradeThis one has tweaked mkfs options to (hopefully) reduce the amount of RAM required. Give it a whirl..

The alt one you posted (link is a little squirrely)seems to have made it through the script. There was one error "zeroing hda3":
/bin/cat: write error: No space left on device
Not sure if that was normal or not, just sounds like it wrote to the end.
Do you think the problem is related to the empeg-flash driver? Seems like something is being loaded that is bigger than normal and causing an issue with this SSD on a 12MB player.

It doesn't mean flash as in SSD. There is a small amount of flash memory inside the empeg that stores some current state and config data.

I've now updated the bigdisk builder images (at rtr.ca)
with Hijack v508. There's also now a new _v4_ builder
which uses a 4KB blocksize (rather than 1KB),
and a 4X higher bytes:inodes ratio.
These changes make it much more suitable for large disks
and/or low-memory usage.
Cheers

Thanks again so much for the help Mark, all seems to be working.
Only issues I have now are config related. I've been using the old 2.0 beta for like 7 years and I need to figure out how to get the fader back and now the player no longer shuts off in the car. So I'll need to do some searches to get up to speed on restoring that functionality, and what else is new.
SSD issues seem to be resolved.

Okay, I am completely baffled. I've done some searches and apparently I have "home mode in the car" syndrome and saw all these threads about a blown diode and HW replacement etc.
I will say that being a HW guy (encoder replacement was much more straight forward to me than swapping in an SSD) this is ridiculous. I put in my old drive with the old firmware and all functionality returned with 0 issues. Clearly this is a software problem, yet there's many threads on diode replacement and I couldn't find anything pointing to software.
What is the deal here? I have been out of the loop for years and just want to replace my dying mechanical HD with an SSD.
Can I just image my old drive to the SSD? At this point I could care less about losing a few gig to an LBA issue. I just want it to work with no hassle, as I don't have as much time to spend on this as I would like.
Suggestions? Please?

What is shown on the Hijack Menu's "Force AC/DC Power Mode"
screen on your player?
Post the four lines here, please.

Hi all I know this is an old thread but I am having similar problems...
I inserted a SSD 120GB Kingston SSD now into the Empeg with Adapter and It is getting the HDA timeout issues on the Display.
Can someone help me with this ? Is there a way to telnet into the empeg ? my Serial port does way to much of Crashing my computer ( since its a usb adapter ).
I used the Big disk Image first and then the hijack 5.18.
I am able to upload some tracks but it crashes the player all the time.
I have tried swapping out the SSD and the Adapter , plus the HDD cable with the same results.
Thanks

Yeah, my apologies for putting this on the back burner. Hijack has a telnetd built-in, which can be enabled by putting "ktelnetd_port=23" into the "[hijack]" section of the player's config.ini file.
For the adapter, I don't yet know what's wrong, and haven't made the time to investigate yet. But I have seem similar behaviour with some adapters in the past, and might still have one on hand that misbehaves like that. So.. there's hope.
With luck, it's just a timing thing: SSDs respond _instantly_ to stuff that takes milliseconds with mechanical drives, and something may just not be ready for that as soon as it ought to be.
Cheers

When that message appears on the display, there will be a corresponding, more detailed message at the serial port.
Something like: hda: stat_timo: status=0x80
followed by another line describing what it was trying to do at the time.
Any chance you could capture those messages and post them here?
Based on the value it prints for "status=0x..", it might be possible to work around the issue.
In particular, if it says "status=0x88", and "no DRQ after issuing WRITE", then it's a very easy fix.
Thanks.

If I telnet to the empeg and try fsck -fay /dev/hda4 it just says
empeg:/# fsck -fay /dev/hda4
fsck -fay /dev/hda4
e2fsck 1.19, 13-Jul-2000 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09
ext2fs_check_if_mount: No such file or directory while determining whether /dev/hda4 is mounted.
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Error allocating block bitmap (1): Memory allocation failed
To work around that problem with fsck, just do " swapon -a" before starting the fsck command.
