How do you achieve this? From your video it looks like Chui is based on a stock Raspberry Pi - what prevents me from using another SD card or altering the information on the SD card (the 'registration' stuff)?
Another question out of personal interest: When I cut off the power off my Raspberries without shutting them down, the filesystem is often left corrupted and the Pi refuses to boot. Did you manage to find a solution for this? Is there something like a 'mini UPS' out there that stores just enough power to securely shut down the Pi?
- Udo 13y agoI'm using a Pi as a server for my hacked-together home automation. It seems to run ext4 and hasn't corrupted in the face of frequent power-offs. Out of curiosity, was there anything special about your setup? Did you track the corruption down to anything specific or was it just random?
- lukashed 13y agoMine are also running ext4. I haven't investigated it too much, but it happened 2-3 times during development (quite frustrating when you haven't backed it up for a while). On another project we're running 30 Pis simultaneously and before we told the operators to shut them down properly each evening we had at least one corruption a week (which wasn't too much of a problem since we always had some provisioned cards on hand). There seems to be an UPS solution for the Pi already [1]. [1] http://www.piups.net/ http://www.piups.net/
