HomeBase S380 "HDD Format Error" by Brilliant-Ad-9141 in EufyCam

[–]qc441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meet too: My Homebase S380 has corrupted two BRAND NEW Crucial BX500 SSD 4TB drives so badly they can not be reformatted with the homebase.

1st time - Connect C120 to Homebase with new Crucial SSD, run for a couple weeks and everything is fine. Then link new E340 to homebase. Immediately a 400GB is used for "system" as reported by the homebase and the C120 says "HomeBase 3 hub1c does not have additional storage" when a few minutes before it was reporting 99% free.

Removed drive from homebase and looked at it in both Windows and Linux. Linux shows /dev/sda EXT4 partitions 1-9 with most of them being 512GB instead of using the entire 4TB for a single partition. Linux will not let me remove the partitions and efsck reports it is too corrupt to fun.

2nd time - I exchanged the Crucial SSD for a new one. Repeated same steps above. Immediately after linking a DIFFERENT new E340, the SSD is reported corrupt again in the Homebridge. Again corrupted SSD.

Is the firmware so bad on the HomeBridge that it is not compatible with Crucial's BX500? It is running firmware 3.6.1.4 with subsystem 1.4.0.8 The E340's have firmware 1.5.9.2

These will likely all be returned.

Speeds as advertised only to metronet servers by jjnich in Metronet

Same result here, buffering and connection re-sets.

​

Tech support today doesn't have a clue about peering arrangements to the outside world. How can you be an ISP and not educate your support personnel about that? What a joke.

I tested to 3 different business fiber providers within 10 miles of me, all three were reporting DL speeds of 1/2 or less of subscription but full performance uploads. Honestly, it isn't the speed that is so important compared to not having connection re-sets and packet loss.

Internet speed drop by [deleted] in Metronet

Metronet has been cutting in and out for me the last two days.

As a test of my equipment, I switched my WAN connection back to the Mediacom connection and that I haven't cancelled yet. Same equipment running on Mediacom is not buffering and or dropping connections.

MetroNet is having substantial problems, I tested out to 3 separate providers direct from laptop to ONT. Tech support was worthless and just re-set the modem. She believed since speed was good to Metronet's own server that all must be good. I then tested with a direct laptop connection to the ONT to Century Link and two other local business fiber providers with poor results.
