Any interest for DietPi_v158_RPi-armv6-(Jessie).img with last dietpi_rpi_kernel_4.9.zip?

Question to https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1268#issuecomment-350108752

Started update image building on RPi Zero W:

on auto-update from DietPi v150 => v158 dietpi_rpi_kernel_4.9.zip will be install with new kernel 4.9.62 and firmware updates
directly after this, automated apt-get update installed updated fimware files

- - is it safe to remove/delet old kernel 4.9.27 modules by hand❓

root@RPi-Zero-W:~# du -hs --time /lib/modules/4*

54M     2017-11-17 23:58        /lib/modules/4.9.62-v7+

- - is/can it a problem apt-get overwrite firmware and module file witch has been copy by dietpi_rpi_kernel_4.9.zip before❓
  Safer to run a new pass of dietpi_rpi_kernel_4.9.zip after automated apt-get update❓

Any hints are welcome. Want at last finalize update image building and move forward ...

MichaIng · 2017-12-08T17:34:39Z

@k-plan

The kernel backups are held, in case you get serious boot problems or similar issues after new kernel installation, also if kernel is just custom/buggy or something.
So if you do not face issues like that, and especially since we use 4.9.62 already since a whole on our devices, it is safe to remove to old ones. Especially for new images we want to have them slim and clean.
Generally overwriting apt kernels manually or other way round is no problem. I did this long time on RPi, since I ran apt upgrade and rpi-update both regularly. I didn't know that time, that kernel apt packages and rpi-update overwrite each other. But of we ship tested kernel packages on dietpi-update, I would suggest the apt packages to be marked als hold, as it is at least on RPi images, to avoid unnecessary overwriting.

@MichaIng

👍

Danke Michael für deine Antwort. Wenn ich die Zeichen richtig deute, dürftest du Deutsch verstehen. Daher die Antwort so, weil mir das Schreiben somit deutlich leichter fällt.
Schön, dass du Dich hier so großartig einbringst.

Habe die Kernel 4.9.27 Module jetzt gelöscht und testweise das neu erstellt Image probiert. Geht soweit.
War etwas verwirrt, da ich in den letzten Tage so viel mit verschiedensten Image herum gespielt habe. Da war es immer möglich die alten Module mittels apt oder den spezifischen Update-Script zu entfernen bzw. diese wurden durch das Script selbst entfernt.
Macht aber jetzt Sinn, wenn das vorherige Update nicht via apt-get dist-upgrade oder rpi-update installiert wurde.
Werde das dietpi_rpi_kernel_4.9.zip vorsichtshalber zum Abschluss noch einmal 'drüber bügeln'. Datum ist: 07-Dec-2017 17:36 - kannst ja einmal ins Archiv reinschauen. Du hast sicher mehr Ahnung davon als ich.

Danke für Deine Hilfe.

MichaIng · 2017-12-09T23:02:54Z

@k-plan
Hehe, ja richtig, wie auch immer geschlussfolgert, ich heiße allerdings wirklich nur "Micha" ohne "el" 😉.

Ich war beim Erstellen des VirtualBox images auch etwas am überlegen bzgl. APT Kernel vs DietPi Kernel. Keine Ahnung wie stabil linux-image* normalerweise ist, allerdings denke ich, dass es grundsätzlich laufen sollte. Falls wir nicht aktiv neuere Kernels via dietpi-update implementieren (wie beim RPi), sind die APT packages eine gute, eher konservativ stabil gehaltene, Alternative (beim RPi definitiv!).

Stellen wir einen eigenen Kernel bereit, auch zwecks Tests mit DietPi, dann sollten wir die APT packages hingegen auf "hold" setzen, dass sie sich nicht laufend gegenseitig überschreibt. Beim RPi können wir es gut selbst bereit stellen, alles ist prima via github bereit gestellt für alle RPi Versionen: https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware
Wie gesagt kp was andere Plattformen angeht.

Fourdee · 2017-12-10T01:43:10Z

@k-plan

Many thanks for doing these images 👍
I've downloaded them all, I will test each one and upload to dietpi.com.

''DietPi_ ... -(Jessie)_lastest-try.7z was only a typo while in rush and uploading, I can't delete it later.

As always, everything is without engagement or guarantee, but the best I can do. 😃

Happy testing.

Hallo Micha,

ja, das mit den Firmware und Kernel Fixierung sehe ich genauso.
Daher habe ich deinen Vorschlag auch hier mit eingearbeitet: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1270#issue-278797206

Wie gesagt kp was andere ...

My new toy arrived at Christmas time: Odroid HC1 - unfortunately without the Clear Case. 😢

Noticed @Fourdee get on as well from Hardkernel! 👍 Nice, a photo of his device is here 😃

Important discovery:

without a HDD/SSD attached to SATA connector device will not boot up completely! (no network/ssh connection)

Have played around with DietPi and other images and observe, network and file transfer perforamance is disappointing. And yes, I have a Gigabit enterprise network at home.

Started with DietPi Jessie (Kernel 3.10.106+) and switched over to DietPi Jessie (Kernel 4.9.61+)

Benchmark RAM performance on DietPi Jessie (Kernel 4.9.61+) :

DietPi Jessie with Kernel 4.9.61+ show a improved RAM performance.
Guess from there come the better file transfer rates.
Thus I have decided to go with Kernel 4.9.61+ for future tests.

So a long trip started with a lot of searching and testing.
It cost me more than a week, but finally I got it to work as desired.

Will split it here to get more clearness.

k-plan · 2017-12-29T21:48:09Z

Frist I have to say, all hint have been foung by google around the Net.
Script, code and adjustment are not from me, credit must go to originator.
So I can't say you will get it on DietPi. It will be Fourdee decision.

Some infos found here:
https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=25424
https://magazine.odroid.com/wp-content/uploads/ODROID-Magazine-201702.pdf#page=8

Change

IRQ allocation for SATA Bridge and Gigabit Ethernet Controller
additional parameters in smb.conf to get a better overall SMB/CIFS performance
modified conditioning for file transfer relevant services
upper cpu_min_frequency default parameter

Result on DietPi Jessie (Kernel 4.9.61+)

I have build a image DietPi_v158-SE_OdroidXU4_jessie-4.9.img for test purpose, so @Fourdee can make his own test and have a look on it.
Will upload this later.

Have tested this modifications with:

DietPi v159 Jessie (Kernel 3.10.106+) | file transfer performance increase is lower
DietPi v159 Jessie (Kernel 4.9.61+) | as pointed
DietPi v159 Stretch (Kernel 4.9.61+) | working
DietPi v159 Stretch (Kernel 4.14.9+) | working

Will upload DietPi_v159-SE_OdroidXU4_stretch-4.14.9.img for test purpose as well.

Have fun and happy testing.

MichaIng · 2017-12-29T22:22:10Z

@k-plan simply great!
To reduce work load I would concentrate on the Stretch image (with kernel 4.9 as repo default version), as we anyway wan't to drop Jessie. Or might the issues with Odroid C2 also be present here, which are the reason we do not yet have stable Stretch?: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1032

k-plan · 2017-12-29T22:34:01Z

@MichaIng

have not tested Pi-Hole on Odroid HC1 so far. Full concentration was on file transfer performance.

Have as well choose Jessie to have a better comparison to OMV (erasmus) which work as well with Jessie at this moment.

DietPi v159 Stretch is a apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade && install linux-image-4.14-armhf-odroid-xu4 version of (NR_4.x)_DietPi_v158_OdroidXU4-armv7-(Jessie).img.

But I will switch off my mods and will test Pi-Hole on DietPi v159 Stretch (Kernel 4.9.61+).

MichaIng · 2017-12-29T23:49:49Z

@k-plan
Hehe don't wanted to turn down testing fun 😄! Just if you guys are going to start boring tests with installing/uninstalling all our software or something like this, before release, then, as we already had the "many devices" discussion, it should be enough to do that for Stretch 4.9 😉.

But if kernel 4.14. is working fine so far, and maybe especially this new board has benefits from it, we could also directly use this one?

About Odroid C2 issues: The issues seem (at least kodi) related to meverics image, that we use as base, and as I don't see some custom image for HC1 there, I guess you used official Debian image?

Fourdee · 2018-01-09T15:31:21Z

I'll mark this as closed, due to v159 images being replaced by v6.0.

Apologies @k-plan for not testing/using the images you kindly spent time making. I'll recreate all the v6.0 images (will accept help if its offered 😃 ):
