RB1100AHx2 disk i/o error can't write / erase from disk

Hi Mikrotikians,

Recently got a RB1100AHx2 and it has been functioning fine it’s running ROS 5.12.

But today i had to upload a file to the system and discovered that it wouldn’t take the file via winbox i get “action failed (6)”, via ftp/scp it’s the same problem, i can’t write to the disk. I can’t supply you with a supout because, tadaaa it can’t write it to disk. I tried running /system check-disk but it gave me this error:

[admin@MikroTik] > /system check-disk
Router will be rebooted. Continue? [y/N]:
y
system will reboot shortly
action timed out - try again, if error continues contact MikroTik support and send
a supout file (13)

I then rebooted it since it is not yet in production i thought what the heck, this lost me the config since whenever this problem occured since it was only in memory i guess? (NB! How does mikrotik handle config saving? In IOS fx you have to write cfg from memory to store it..)

Best regards

I have the same problem.

Excact same problem and almost identical usage on the disk also. I had hotspot function enabled and wanted to reset the html to upload some custom stuff, when i realised something was wrong, but i suspect it has been wrong for some time before that, because the config was pretty much my initial one when i booted it again.

Still have not had any luck, i was recommended to do a netinstall and remember not to fawk up the license stuff “don’t touch the license stuff”. :stuck_out_tongue:

But since i have a pretty long way to the datacenter, i really don’t wanna do that. Hope mikrotik has some brilliant solution to this?

I will try and do a remote netinstall from a virtual windows and we will see how that goes!

A netinstall will probably take around 45 minutes, which is what I had happen to me when I tried it.
Afterwards though, the routerboard seemed to work normally. I never run into the issue, that flash cannot be written,
but hat a different problem where the RB forgets about half of it’s configuration and kernel panics on reboot (there’s a different thread for that).

I think that there is some production issue with the flash device which makes it necessary to net-install the RB before you deploy it.

I set the routerboard to try ethernet once, then nand but i don’t get it in netinstall unfortunately enough. I don’t know if i have to wait for it though, or if i need to hand out dhcp to it upon boot? Know nevertheless i’t does not boot it seems to have broken completely. I gues i am gonna have to go onsite. :frowning:

I would sure hope that a netinstall will solve the problem but i am a little nervous about putting it into prodution, if the NAND / flash is faulty and i suddenly loose it completely. Or do you reconn it’s just a problem with the software installed from factory?

I think theres something wrong in general here?

we found potential issue and are looking into it. thanks for reporting the problem everyone!

we will have release candidate ready soon, email us if you want to test before we release it

Is there an update for this issue? My admin password keeps changing to the default settings.

are you running v5.14? the issue was fixed, here is a line from the change log:

*) fixed rare configuration retention problems on RB1100AHx2;

if you are running v5.14, it’s possible you have some other problem.

I have Sextant:RB711 and the same problem.

RB is very slow for may commands. Terminal is openning ~3minutes. In the title of the winbox is not HW version of RB.
Also logging is not possible to setup/maintain and log window is empty. SSH session is extremly slow.

I have 4x Sextants, but only one have these problems. After installation of 5.14 all worked fine, but after some complaints from custoemr, I looked on this Sextant and I saw this behaviour.
This version 5.14 improved nv2 link stability, but this is very serious problem.

Version of Router OS is 5.14.

I get the “Could Not restore configuration, action failed(6)” I am trying to build a back up box for my boarder router, x86. I upgraded the current production MT Border x86 to 5.22, upgraded the the one I have here to 5.22 and sent the config file to the back up box and I get this error. Help?
