How long does a class 10  8GB SD card in an RPi with MinePeon last? In weeks/months?

For a couple of days now my Pi is doing some odd things, like stopping mining/crashing. This morning my Peon was down for 8 hours (all Block Erupters green) but l could SSH into the machine and simply do a "sudo systemctl start cgminer.service" to get it mining again. 2 days ago I had to unplug the power cable from the Pi as it seemed to be hung up completely.
Before that the Pi was running for over a month straight.

Can this be the SC card? will it fill up with logs or other files at some point, or will MinePeon delete it if necessary? Could the SC card be degrading?

I'm still on 0.2.2 because I am afraid to update


Maybe someone can make a new short guide on how to install and update the newest version of MinePeon + cgminer + the usb lcd screen (the one that was supposed to be working with 0.2.3a), just a rundown of the shell commands needed to get a working, not every couple hours rebooting miner.

How do you expand the partitions?

yeah can I do that with a console command via SSH right into the Pi or do I need to shut down the RPi and do that on my Mac with an SD-Card reader?
(or even worse, do I need to do that before I install Minepeon?)

Hi All.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I've added a MtGox Bitcoin price ticker to the cgminerLCDStats script. I even added a cool colored arrow to indicate "price direction".

Note that the ticker isn't really real time - there is a delay of a few seconds between updates, so don't use it for trading or anything time sensitive!

I've tested the code pretty extensively on MinePeon v 0.2.2 with no problems. I'm not running v0.2.3 currently, but I HAVE done limited testing on that version.

I welcome your feedback, and I hope y'all find the code useful. If so, please consider a donation

I have the exact same problem.  The Pi has a limitation that it can only see five logical hubs, not including the root hub on the Pi itself.  The problem is, each D-Link physical hub is in fact two logical four-port hubs.  The "second" four-port hub is plugged into one of the ports on the "first" hub, which exposes seven ports for you to use.  If you plug three D-Link hubs into the Pi, it will see two logical hubs for each of the first two physical ones, but only one logical hub on the third physical one.  Attaching additional hubs won't do anything; the Pi won't see them at all.

I don't know if the limitation is five hubs per USB port on the Pi, or five hubs total -- I can't test this.  I use the second USB port on the Pi for Wifi access.  Though in retrospect, I guess I could just plug the Wifi dongle into a hub port and see if I can connect additional hubs to the other USB port...

I know thats some list command, but as I am a Linux noob, what exactly do they do?

And yes, but you will have to wait until tomorrow morning, as I am in bed now *g*

Whenever I reboot my RPi, I need to restart ntpd and then cgminer to get reasonable results.
