I'm looking for the ability to extract coarse motion estimation from the h.264 encoder. These vectors are calculated as part of the compression algorthm and should be done on the hardware in real time - just a matter of extracting them. This extraction is done on the Raspberry Pi with "raspivid -x output". It is also exposed in picamera. Does anyone know if there is a similar capability to extract the motion vectors? If not, how one might go about doing this in python/c++? thanks, philip

hi there, i was wondering if there a away to compile mosquitto 1.4. successfully the current version is 1.3.3 ( or something like that) when I try to compile it it seams to compile correctly and it seams to install correctly. the broker portion works fine but the client side does not. when you try to publish or subscribe it complains a file is missing. I needed it for websockets to compile id did this wget https://github.com/warmcat/libwebsockets/archive/v1.3-chrome37-firefox30.tar.gz tar xvzf v1.3-chrome37-firefox30.tar.gz cd v1.3-chrome37-firefox30 mkdir build cd build cmake .. make sudo make install sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libwebso…

After much trial and error, I cross compiled opencv against a live armbian rootfs mounted via sshfs. I've documented the steps (including rationale and troubleshooting insights) on my blog: http://studiow.cf/blog/post/how-to-cross-compile-opencv-for-armbian-with-gtk

Hello to all. I'm trying to use the image Armbian_5.25_Orangepipcplus_Ubuntu_xenial_dev_4.9.4.img but I can not operate the webcam. With the image of the previous version, the webcam worked with gs2035 and vte_v42l modules, which can not find in the current image. Is it an omission or there are compatibility issues? Where could I find instructions (simple, if possible) to compile them? Thank you.

Hello, I have several ARM boards in my possession and I want to be able to boot them all from a single SD card (I have commercial SW which requires activation and is tied to a particular SD card afterwards). So far, I have made this script which creates multiple /boot-boardname directories, replaces /boot with a symlink to one of those, and makes sure the right u-boot is written to the card. However, I have one little problem I couldn't yet solve: I would like to generate the correct /etc/modules file for a new board, and I don't know how. For example, Orange Pi Zero needs this xradio_wlan module for WIFI. Where do I find the info that this module is needed? A…

Hi! I need to use PHP 5.3 that is requiriment of old version of vtigerCRM. How to install it in Armbian?

After reading from June '16 until February '17 I think it makes sense to start at the last steps /improvements. In the 5.24 nightly the directory for networking looks like this (the network folder and the few below this branch): Looking back to my manual I deleted the VLAN file and created my own. Then I see here: ifenslave | ethtool | ip | several 'interfaces' and I was wondering does it need all that for a working VLAN with DSA=Distributed Switch Architecture ? ==================================================== reto@lamobo-r1:/etc/network$ ll total 60 drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Feb 4 18:34 ./ drwxr-xr-x 94 root root 4096 Feb 4 18:36 ../ drwxr-xr-x 2…

Hello, I have idea to make a product (based on SBC - Small Board Computer) and sell it on the market, but after searching many forums, websites, youtubes etc I am sure only for one: All what can work on that SBCs stable (I mean stable for production use, for customer product) is... lighting a LED connected to pins... That's all. Anything else could work, but also could not work. Drivers coud be found, but you can not be sure they will work (most of them are in version zero point...). Units could be connected, but it doesn't mean they will work when connected... Crazy. Let me explain more. My project needs a SBC with working camera and working communication (Bluetooth or …

I like the idea, but having an all winner chip kills it, I'd love tkaisers thoughts...lol. https://liliputing.com/2017/02/olimex-teres-open-source-diy-laptop-kit-240.html

On http://docs.armbian.com/Release_Changelog/I see am Armbian 5.25 with many improvements But on https://dl.armbian.com/orangepipc/the files seem to be 5.24 and older, even the nightly versions. I am interested in the sunxi mainline version with kernel 4.9. Thanks in advance! Christian

Hello, everyone. Shameless self-promo: https://github.com/znoxx/torbox This set of scripts will allow you to create a tor-enabled wifi access point. Image for OrangePI Zero is based on Armbian - i just disabled NetworkManager here to allow correct execution of scripts. The idea is - you get "normal internet" from Ethernet jack, then do some TOR magic and all traffic from wifi side is "torred". Also I2P is installed to have "more darkness" in your Internets. Everything intended to be completely headless with managing via web interface, written with node.js. Have fun. For russian-speaking persons - description is here: http://znoxx.me/tor-i2p-m…

Hi, which is the correct way to add additional bootargs using /boot/armbianEnv.txt ? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Got a bit of a weird issue and the search in Armbian site is not helping much due to words with few characters.. Have a Opi+2E running Armbian Ubuntu 16.04.1 xenial desktop and an ethernet connection. (Packet tracking is via wireshark) Whenever an ARP network request comes to it (targeted at its MAC addr) for revealing its IP, it does not reply back. Is there any hint or info on such an issue? Solved. It was just me not rebooting when needed.. Sorry for the noise.

I installed Armbian_5.24_Orangepizero_Ubuntu_xenial_dev_4.9.4 on my Orange Pi Zero. Because it has no video out, I try to login via SSH. Unfortunately the password "1234" does not work for user root. I get "Permission denied (publickey,password).". Is the password wrong?

What are the commands to upgrade armbian server Debian GNU / Linux 8 (jessie) 3.4.112-sun8i, to the current version 3.4.113? Thank you

I have a cubietruck board and successfully moved my Armbian installation from my microSD card to my SSD. I would like to clean up the microSD card now and shrink it to a smaller size, so I can move the content to a smaller card. What do I actually need on that card to be able to boot to SSD? Just the '/boot' folder or does the boot loader need any other data to do its magic?

I've been using debian on all my systems for a long time. On my x86 and x64 systems, debian_version always gets updated after dist-upgrades and upgrades. It has never been the case for my embedded boards running armbian jessie. I tried to research into what actually does the trigger, but I can't find any details. When I log in, my splashscreen confirms there are no new updates (I updated this morning). It's still showing 8.0 in /etc/debian_version. I expect to see /etc/debian_version reflect 8.4 Any ideas? sudo apt-get dist-upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Calculating upgrade...

Hello everybody, this is my very first post on armbian forum! I wanted to give a try to armbian on my bananapi M1 so I'm running the Debian Jessie server version. I formerly used both raspbian and bananian and always ran OpenVPN server in order to be able to connect home when I'm away. This time I reconfigured the service from scratch following this guide: https://wiki.debian.org/OpenVPN My problem is that I after the set up the daemon doesn't seem to start for real... :-/ The output of "service openvpn status" command report the service as running. On the other side, netstat on the server and telnet from a client on port 1194 act as the service isn't …

Hello, when I turn on my orangepi with armbian, it automatically logs me in and shows desktop. How can I please disable autologin and auto desktop? For example, on raspberry pi after boot I see just terminal with username and password, when I type these it logs me in and stays in terminal, and when I want dekstop environment I type startx and then I am in desktop. I would like to have the same behaviour on the orangepi (first headless after boot, I juust after then I should be able to login and choose to display desktop). Many thanks.

hi, Question: Is it possible in armbian Desktop version, Change user name and rename directory / home / user So that armbian start with the new desktop? thanks from spain

Hi, All! I have modified w1-therm kernel module. Now device directory contains two more files w1_read and w1_convert_all. You can read sensor memory without triggering temperature conversion using the first one and you can trigger the temperature conversion on all sensors (implemented using "skip ROM") with the second one. I needed this modification to speed up sensor reading. Now I start temperature measurement on all sensors (it takes 750ms on 18B20) and then read the results. Earlier reading sensor (using w1_slave) required 750+ms for each sensor. Here is the result for my 10sensors 1wire network (using the usual w1_slave required 8.5sec, with new feature…

Hello I would like to backup my SD card so that in case of crash I do not have to make all the config again. I tried to make the image with Win32Diskimg, the image is done, but when I put it again on the board, it doesn't boot. Is there a special process to make this image ? Thanks Greg

Hi This issue is produced on both flavors of Linux for the orange pi zero i.e. Debian and Ubuntu. I am trying to login to pi zero using the serial terminal. First time it asks me to change the password, which I changed. Then using that changed password I tried to login into it. However, whenever I enter the password in it. it restarts. I even used the external high power phone charger to test this issue but in both cases result was same. Any solution to this problem?

Hey Guys You had been amazing, I'm had used your armbian and I'm very proud of it. I reache to run it very well over my OPi Plus 2 SE and OPi One, without major troubles. But instruction to get a booteable sd copy of current emmc It is not understandable, regardless if is a backpup, a clone, a dd command or a sript to do do over the sd port or to a usb sd card... I could not reach resolve it, because there are many topics with many comment and the main tread explanation is lost. Please, can anyone, write a clear step by step procedure to do any of it?, Sorry and Regards, Pescadito

Hi, I would suggest that in Armbian use Webmin as default. - easy interface - very easy to check the status of Armbiana - easy to install basic services, eg. Ftp, samba There are many questions on the forum related to the different installations, using this program is much easier. How to install (Orange Pi PC ): (Webmin updates itself to the latest version - notification appears) sudo apt-get install -y perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl apt-show-versions python sudo wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.831_all.deb sudo dpkg --install webmin_1.831_all.deb access: (ignore https warni…

I'm experimenting with video transcoding but am getting problems when using vdpau to decode and the hw video encoder. Using this https://github.com/stulluk/FFmpeg-Cedrus and https://github.com/uboborov/ffmpeg_h264_H3 software decode & hw encode = 15-20FPS but high CPU usage. it can do 60FPS encoding rate with 960x540 30fps h264 source dropping the compression helps a bit too (-qp 24, default is 30) hw decode & hw encode of 1080 h264 = 1FPS, using 4k h265 as the source gives 1.5 FPS ffmpeg -hwaccel vdpau -i 1080p30.mp4 -c:v cedrus264 -c:a copy -pix_fmt nv12 out.mp4 Is the video engine designed to do transcoding?

Hello, is it possible to use GPIO Pins with this OS? I would like to use this code: http://mujweb.cz/tlc/RasPi-SMT/ Board: OrangePI PC I decided to use this OS as the original images doesnt seem to support an USB WLAN adapter with atheros chipset I am using. This OS seems to work well with it.

Hi, I wrote this news http://time4ee.com/news.php?readmore=170 about Orange Pi Zero Plus (SBC with SIM and Bluetooth) but I have a question. I didn't hear about this processor RDA8810PL and my question is if armbian will support this board. I don't know if xunlong send you preliminary boards or not. Thanks P.S. The answer will be release in news :-)

Hi, Do you know how to run LitecoinNode on OrangePi One? I already tried to install Debian and Raspbian version but it doesn't work (https://github.com/litecoin-association/LitecoinNode). I can't execute files from Debian version and I can't find execute files from Raspian version.

Hey, First: Thanks to everybody making this work. I installed armbian on a beelink x2 TV Box with the old wifi Chip, we had two of them and the Android Rom just stopped working, well it worked but the Youtube App and such Things didnt.

The box plays the Videos via Kodi or with a direct Link in smPlayer well but in FireFox it decodes it over the CPU i think and then it has Problems. I also tried to install a new smTube arm deb package with Gdebi but there are some depenc…

Hi, There is a lot of cheap 10.1 inches lcd on market, often have a resolution of 1280 x 800. I connected this lcd with h3disp using the mode of 1280 x 720 (720i). Everything works, but aspect ratio is wrong. (800->720) Is there a fast and simply possibility to set 1280x800 resolution in Armbian?

Options selected for both are 'Os image for installation to SD card', 'vendor provided / legacy ..) kernel, 'Debian 8 jessie', 'Image with desktop'environment'. Also, another try to build for nanopineo stopped in the same place. It seems that today's commits (29/12/2016) got something to do with this, I was able to generate images up to yesterday. @Igor, @zador.blood.stained can you please let me know if it works ok with you after today's commits?

Recently we bought several BananaM2+ boards to integrate them into our future fiscal project We are developing software using Armbian Linux Debian-3.4.113-sun8i with standard core, which was chosen as a stable platform. For now we have a problem with integration. Due to our fiscal laws the board should be placed in the fiscal box with no access from outside. Now we are testing the board “on the table†using typical operations (even without loading it by typical cashiers operations) and the temperature rises very high. As a result the board starts switching off processor’s cores leaving only 1 working. We even still haven’t started testing the board placed into…

According to http://linux-sunxi.org/H2%2B#VariantsI should be able to differentiate between the H2+ and the H3 via the CPU SID. I have an Orange Pi Zero board with this output from /proc/cpuinfo Hardware : Allwinner sun8i Family Revision : 0000 Serial : 02004620161dea8a According to that site "the last byte of the first word" should be either 0x42 or 0x83 since the Orange Pi Zero has an H2+. Yet I am not finding 0x42 or 0x83 *anywhere* in "02004620161dea8a". Anyone know how to correctly identify the CPU variant?

Is there a way to make armbian find my modem auto? I am running Orange Pi One with Armbian 5.20 Debian Jesse And Orange Pi PC with Armbian 5.20 Debian Jesse My issue is that it finds the flash memory in my modem but not the modem itself i have to manually set it to modem via this command usb_modeswitch -v 12d1 -p 1f01 -M '55534243123456780000000000000011062000000101000100000000000000' Now the OS see it as a modem and i can run command dhclient -v eth1 And it will load up the eth1 and it will work fine.

Hi there, I am quite new to Armbian (Debian), but experienced on Fedora (RedHat). I want to use national language support on my Armbian device [Orange Pi PL+]. In particular Polish (but if this post transforms into guide it will be for others too). How do I install(?) / enable (?) / rebuild (?) packages (especially GUI) to enable Polish language? With this, OPi / Armbian would be an "viable" alternative to some "STBs" (2x less price... freedom of installing packages). Fonts, keyboard (I saw only "Polish-Dvorak" which is not correct, should be "polish-programmers" - with ALT-Gr or Polish-"typewriter" which I guess is not available now), all these stuff. …

Fresh install no X server, no GUI. Unfortunately the cursor is not shown in the terminal. You can type and delete text, but the character under the cursor position is not at all highlighted. I can make it shown with adding something like "echo -e '\e[?16;0;200c' " (colors it orange) to my bash prompt, but in then I start vim and the cursor is still hidden! I can set colorcolumn and colorrow to work around this in vim, but it seems that the problem lies deeper. So I looked around and found the setterm command. It works for setting my background and foreground colors, however when I do "setterm --cursor on" or "setterm --blink on" nothing happens, cursor is sti…

I have spent the greater part of the day trying to get fbtft working on an ili9341 display on the nano pi neo with the legacy kernel. I have looked through the forum over and over and I cannot find out how the pins are numbered for fbtft. I got https://github.com/wertyzp/WiringNPand did a gpio readall and that gives me some pin numberings. I have tried both the pins from wPi and BCM. Neither work. I have done this many times on a raspberry pi, but cannot seem to get it to work on any of the H3 stuff. I saw in the forums that in the mainline kernel, there is a mathematical equation for pin numberings. I tried that as well, with no luck. I also tried giving the actual portp…

Hello guys! I'm new on the forum and I'll start using Armbian for my Orange boards, I was using Loboris images in Orange Pi Forums but I haven't seen any updates on them, so I decided to use Armbian for my boards.

Taking into account that I'm not an expert either in Linux or Programming I'd like to have a little board that I purchased one year ago which is the NanoPi board http://www.nanopi.org/NanoPi_Feature.html ,is it possible to port Armbian to that device? I haven't been able to use WiFi on the device or connect it to internet to update packages and so on. I also couldn't finish the "Kernel build" …

On every multicore system I have ever used I always see the cores split out into separate processors in cpuinfo like this: processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 42 model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2540M CPU @ 2.60GHz stepping : 7 microcode : 0x29 cpu MHz : 894.257 cache size : 3072 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 4 core id : 0 cpu cores : 2 apicid : 0 initial apicid : 0 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level :…

Hi all. After installation of transmission-daemon I got two issues. First one is "UDP Failed to set receive/send buffer". I did fix it by adding next two lines to /etc/sysctl.conf net.core.rmem_max = 16777216 net.core.wmem_max = 4194304 Second one is that RPC does not start on boot but only after manual restart of service after boot. I believe it's caused because transmission starts before network goes online. I tried to fix it by adding into /lib/systemd/system/transmission-daemon.service [unit] ... Wants=network-online.target After=network-online.target But it does not help. I did fix it by adding next two lines to /etc/rc.l…

Hello, Does anyone of you ever have done power consumption measurement or any statistic? For my Orange Pi cluster I have build up a simple circuit, to measure the total current (ampere) [1]. If all my nodes are powered off and my cubietruck and a orange Pi are powered on, the measured current is about 2A. It looks like that the Orange Pi One does not Consume a significant amount of current, if it is idle. And he is idle for about 90% of time. In case of all of that my 5 OrangePi PC nodes, the Orange PI One and my cubietruck is powered on, the measured current is about 7A what gives a power consumption of ~ 35Watt. Which is the power consumption when every node / host…

Hi i'm interested in buying an orange pi , i'm interested in running linux and android and the use is for some gaming, using for facebook internet etc. Questions i like to have some help. 1 - Can i run games like gangstar vegas, gta San andres , the orange pi is good for this type of games on android or i have problems it temperature? And i know for this type of use the orange pi needs a coler. 2- I'm a beginer in linux it's easy to install and run some software that i can use for some works? 3 - In daily are much difference if i compare a orange pi and a android box? Thank you for all your help, and remember i'm beteween orange pi or a androi…

Hi, my new Orange Pi has been set up with an external HDD. I've backed up my banana pi m1 with sudo tar cvpzf /mnt/BackupNas/backup.tgz --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys --exclude=/dev --exclude=/boot / and restored the files onto the external HDD on the OPI. A restart was successfully and the system appears to run smoothly. It now doesn't display the nice text after logging in via SSH. I am afraid that there are other important files overwritten. Does anybody know what I might have overwritten and needs to be restored from plain armbian? Thanks René

Hi, following the documentation, I used nand-sata-install to boot from SD, system on SATA / USBwithout any problems. My backup solution (raspiBackup.sh) now creates a 16GB image for the SD card, even if it is just used to boot. Is it possible to shrink the partition? Thank you René

I live in Thailand and the default Google search goes to the Thai servers. Thai language is displaying as just boxes in the web browser. How can I install Thai fonts so web pages display correctly that have Thai characters in them? Thanks in advance for helping.

Hi, there is a question as selected to install the driver on the linux-3.4.112-sun7i ? I am a beginner and also sorry for my english.

I've an OrangePI PC. I would like install, enable and start watchdog. I installed watchdog using apt-get install watchdog. But install seems to require some tweaks. I tried to googling but until now nothing works. Any hints ? Thanks!

I'd like to be able to plug my laptop into the USB OTG port and use that serial connection to communicate with an application on the orange pi. The default configuration is to give me a login. What's the correct way to change the getty settings for ttyGS0? Thanks!

hi, i have a problem that i set a custom kernel configuration where no usb wifi module is selected to build with the kernel, and whatever i do the kernel module is still builded. i checked the generated config file and the module was properly marked not to build. probably i don't do right some basic thing, but i'm out of ideas. any suggestion? thanks

Hi, I can't record audio from I2S interface on Lime2 (A20) Ubuntu_trusty_3.4.112. For record the sample 60 sec. (44.1K 16bit) I used this command: arecord -D hw:1,0 -t wav -c 2 -f S16_LE -r 44100 -d 60 test.wav File is success created and recorded, but absolutely nothing sounds. Why I can't write sound?

hi all, would love to run 'mainline' kernel on some of the boards. Armbian does provide 'choice' today for most/many Orange boards as well as NanoPI ... tu build the image with mainline/4.9 kernel. my needs are not too complex a) Ethernet USB to drive USB DAC ... Is there anyone on a forum who has tried recent 4.9-rc or maybe even 4.8 and it worked well and if yes which boards did you use ? I am running Odroid-C2 happily with Armbian and 3.14.79 kernel but some of the very old bugs have been fixed later on (kernel bugs) and am looking for a board that might run recent kernel well (enough). Thank you !

Hey guys and gals and aliens and their pets, What does a better single board computer look like? What chipset does it use? what does it do differently from past models? I have some thoughts on this but I'd be remiss not to ask yours. "Better" is a goal. Need to figure out what better is, first, and then act.

What about the new Banana PI M2 ultra ? Is it a real SATA controller ? or just one more that is channeled through the USB ? And is this machine likely to be supported by Armbian ? It in short seems to be a little overpriced and the eMMC storage to be to little. And the M3 left a bit bad taste in my mouth, but if it is Sata that gives more speed than USB and if it will be Armbian supported then I might give them another go.

Hi, Got a latest Armbian jessie image 5.24 with kernel 3.4.113, and could not find pulseaudio in it. I thought it was already present. Is there any hint/guide for installation to OPi or FA H3 boards with Armbian? Christos

Hi, there is something wrong with the configuration of your server. If I try to connect to http://armbian.com/I get the nginx wellcome page. You have to forward the traffic to www.armbian.com

Hi all, I have just deployed the 5.2 Armbian version (desktop) on my OrangePiLite but the first boot seems to cause issues - I have an USB mouse and keyboard connected but during the bootprocess I receive the messages: usb 7-1: new low-speed USB device number xx using sunxi-ohci generic-usb 0003:....... input,hidraw-: USB HID v1.11 Mouse on usb-sunxi-ohci-1/input0 However, these messages just repeat and are counting. I can not do anything else, this step comes up after I have created a new user and assigned a new password. Thanks for help and advice.

Hi guys! I understood yesterday that the Raspberry Pi 3 is limited to only 2-channel 16-bit PCM audio over HDMI by its ALSA driver. Therefore I'm now looking for another board capable of at least outputting 6x 24-bit LPCM 48 kHz channels. My goal is to build a software DSP, processing multi-channel audio recorded from an USB audio interface. The idea is to capture a home-cinema receiver pre-outs, mix and apply biquads for crossover with the sub and speaker tuning, then handle the clock difference between input and output. A couple threads mention difficulties with 24-bit audio, on legacy kernel and over I2S, where the user Christos observed issues. Do…

Hi, Have some H3 boards with the current Armbian level 5.24. Need though Qt5.. Is there any info on how to do this? How to install Qt5 in Armbian? (Might be too easy but for some reason I cannot find relevant info) Christos

hi, i want to generate an armbian version for olinuxino micro A10S card this card is not in the list proposed by the compile.sh tool is there a howto , which explain the procedure best regard

Hi All The "real time" kernel patches are included in Igor's Armbian build tools, but are disabled by default. Enabling them are simple. (Thanks Igor) Build "real time" kernel images by doing the following: refer to https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib Execution apt-get -y install git git clone https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib--depth 1 cp lib/compile.sh . mv ./lib/patch/kernel/sun7i-default/0014-patch-3.4.108-rt136.patch.disabled ./lib/patch/kernel/sun7i-default/0014-patch-3.4.108-rt136.patch ./compile.sh Press "Enter" to continue Confirm you are running a RT kernel by checking "uname -a" output for PREEMPT e.g Further reading…

Helo, I've just installed armbian on an Orange Pi box and using it just for remote VPSs, any easy way to disable the X windows graphical interface from the console ? thanks

I'm currently running Armbian Ubuntu Xenial Server on a Cubietruck, it works very well, thanks for all the effort! I recently bought a Raspberry Pi 3, installed some of the available images and found them kind of disappointing. The RPI2 and RPI3 both support ARMv7, which should make it reasonably easy to run Armbian Ubuntu images on it. Any chance of getting RPI2/3 support in the future? I would be willing to test work. Thanks!

Hello, have not been able to find any information regarding this topic. What do I need to do to make the HC-05 bt-module work over GPIO? Can anyone here guide me in the right direction?

Hi guys, I backed up my sd content on a 32GB card using dd command with count argument. So I ended up with a 8GB image file to move to a 16GB card. How can I expand the filesystem on the 16GB card to fit its size after putting the 8GB image on it? Thanks!

I run mpd on port 6680 in OPi No problem if reaching in local network (localhost:6680) Now I try to reach from internet, but verifying with http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ port is still closed.

I have an orangepi pc+ which (among other duties) exports my usb (/media/wd/Music) drive with nfs. The external usb drive (A Western Digital) automatically enters sleep mode when it is not used for a while. When I try to mount that nfs-share on another machine, I hear the drive spinning up (awakening) and the mount succeeds. But when I try to access the mount I get "ls: cannot access /opt/music: Stale file handle" I had the same drive and /etc/exports on my raspberrypi-2 but there I did not have this problem (I could hear it spinning up as well when I accessed the mount so I know it was entering sleep mode as well). So I think it is a difference in configuration…
