Hello,
I am running the official FreeBSD 11 image on a Raspberry pi B and most of the things seem to work but I had a problem twice recently.
My configuration: rpi-b with two externally powered USB disks, connected to my home LAN via
ethernet. I also have a screen and a keyboard attached (console).
I use the rpi as a backup system for all my computers. Today I was transferring files from my desktop to the disks on the rpi using rsync (via ssh) when the transfer just stopped. I tried to open a terminal using ssh but the rpi does not respond. I checked port 22 on the rpi with
and I get:
I also tried ping, and the rpi-1 is there.
So I tried logging in on the console. The console is responsive but after I entered my username, it does not prompt for the password. If I type enter multiple times, the console reacts, but still no login.
I thought there might be a problem with the external USB drives, so I unplugged them. The console registered this: da0: .... detached, da1: ... detached.
So the system seems to be running but there is no way I can log in. I do not understand where it gets stuck. The only solution I have is to pull the plug and reboot. This has happened twice in the last few days.
Do you have any hints on how to find out more about this problem?
UPDATE: I have found this https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/242898/rsync-keeps-disconnecting-broken-pipe
Since I am mirroring a folder that contains more than 500 G of files, could it be that the raspberry runs out of memory and no new processes can be started?
