Hi, Tim, I got install Debian 8.1.0 amd64. It runs quickly and I have been playing with several programs and all seems to be ok. But, always there is a but XD, I tryed to copy the system to a pendrive and occurs the same as other times, the system freezes with intensive writing of files.

Exactly I did this:

I plugged a pendrive.
I formated to ext4 with gparted
Then I ran: cp -a /* /media/user/pendrive/
After a while, the system freezes.

Then I tried with other command:
rsync -va / /media/user/pendrive/
But the result is the same, the system stops completly.

I tried plugging the pendrive directly to the JaguardBoard instead using the USB multiport, but the problem persist.

I don't know what is exactly the problem, but something is not working as it should, I've never found this problem in other PC, it should copy files faster or slower, but not to freeze the system.

*EDIT: if you are in a running system, he rsync command should be:
rsync -va / /mnt/ --exclude '/proc/*' --exclude '/dev/*' --exclude '/sys/*' --exclude '/tmp/*' --exclude '/mnt/*' --exclude '/run/*' --exclude'/media/*'

Hi Sir,

There is something wrong with your way to copy the whole system.
I mount the pen drive to /mnt, then use command "rsync -va / /mnt", there will be a loop and it will never end:



I think you need to test it by other ways, copy a big film file?

You have to exclude some directories using rsync to copy the system from a running system.
Try this:
rsync -va / /mnt/ --exclude '/proc/*' --exclude '/dev/*' --exclude '/sys/*' --exclude '/tmp/*' --exclude '/mnt/*' --exclude '/media/*' --exclude '/run/*'

I was trying to explain how to use a 32bit system in the JaguardBoard. I explained a little here, but I was trying to do a detailed tutorial. I have my 32bit distribution in a pendrive running in the JaguardBoard because I prepared using other machines in my home (faster than JaguardBoard), but If I try to use the JaguardBoard for doing the same steps, I found this problems I commented before.

Ok, some days playing with my Jaguarboard and now I can say it is now stable enough for everyday use.
The most important thing in my case is the kernel 3.16, if I change the kernel (for example 4.4 or 4.5 from sid or experimental repository), my JaguardBoard will freeze at any time, and the same applies to other distributions like Ubuntu, Mint, posibly because they use other kernels.

It goes four days running without any problem. I browsed the Internet, I edited documents (with LibreOffice), audio files (Audacity) and video (Openshot and FFdiaporama), I retouched photos (Gimp), I have also played 2D and 3D linux games (FrozenBubble, ChromiumBSU, FunnyBoat, Numpty Physics, Prince of Persia, Raincat, Secret Mario, SuperTux, etc...) , also games based on javascript (MathInvaders) and flash (Friv Games). The most difficult task for the JaguardBoard was to move html5 games based in raster images, a little slow but playable yet.
All tasks performed in a 32-bit system installed in the Jaguardboard mmc memory (PicarOS Linux).

glad that you made it stable now.
