Highlight the “1-wire” option and activate : This will start the raspi-config utility. Open the command line CLi terminal and execute the following bash command that will start the raspberry config utility: The default Raspbian image disables the interface by default so before you can use it we must make a configuration change. Low cost 1-wire devices such as the DS18B20 temperature sensor commonly connects to this port. It provides low-speed data, signaling, and power over a single conductor.

The Raspberry Pi Rasbian operating system has a 1-wire bus driver that can use GPIO4 as data in/out if enabled.

Connect temperature sensors to the Raspberry GPIOġ.

Setup the 1-wire bus on raspberry pi to be able to communicate with the DS18B20 sensor.

You can create any number of zswaps, zdir and a zlog via /etc/ztab and will greatly reduce sd write whilst using a much smaller memory than Log2ram and is much less likely for /var/log to hit the limit and fail as log2ram often does. It also uses the olddir directive of logrotate and ships oldlogs to persistant and again saves far more ram than log2ram.

The same principle is used for zdir and large directories with zero writes in extremely small memory footprints can be accomplished. It uses zram in the upper of an OverlayFS mount with the original dir in a lower bind bind so because of the copyup of COW only changes are in zram. Zram-config above does zswap, zram & a zlog but in a much better manner.

Its near pointless as the log info of a unlikely full system crash is still likely to be lost unless you where fortunate enough that it happened as the hourly write had just taken place.Īlso any log that has changed gets copied in full on every hour which sort of negates it purpose and strangely its for no real reasonĪlso it stores all the oldlogs in memory which isn’t required but copies all this on start again for no real reason. Have a look at as it has a number of advantages over Log2Ram.įirstly the hourly write out of logs is near pointless as its only there for a full system crash as is written on stop. So this greatly reduces the stress on the SD card. Every hour, a cron job will write the RAM disk to FLASH, or at the time of a shutdown. It creates the mount point /var/log in RAM, so any writes to /var/log will be written to the RAM disk.

The ‘wear leveling’ of the disk device will allocate and use a new flash block in that case, but after some time there are no free blocks any more and the system will fail.Ī running gateway will create lots of log messages stored on the card, and I have read reports that depending on the card and card size it might fail after 6-18 months.Īs most of the data written as a gateway are the Linux log files, there is a solution to reduce the number of writes to the SD card using Log2Ram. The SD card as a FLASH device is subject of ‘wear-out’: each FLASH block can only be erased and written a limited number of time, and after that it fails. To avoid writing too many times log data, I have installed Log2Ram.īy default, the Raspberry Pi uses a micro SD card as storage device. This creates a lot of log entries on the micro SD card of the Raspberry Pi.
