...I’ve run into quite a strange situation where what shows up in flash: isn’t the same as what is actually in /mnt/flash on an Arista switch.
I found out that this was an issue when I reloaded the switch and the filesystem looks like it rewound itself to 2022 in Aboot.
I’m guessing that the SSD stopped taking writes sometime in 2022 and EOS never found out about it.
Anyway, if anyone has any information on this feel free to send it to me offlist. I don’t want to create a spamwave or anything.
We've had several SSD failures in Arista devices, I can only assume a bad batch of SSDs because they were all in a batch of routers ordered and delivered together. For us the SSDs dropped into RO mode. When this happens there are syslog messages to let you know, and if you drop into a BASH shell you can see the issue, but none of the EOS show commands show the problem: show file systems -> shows all FS as rw show system health storage -> shows "OK" Cheers, James. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: ProtonMail wsG5BAEBCgBtBYJntgL+CZCoEx+igX+A+0UUAAAAAAAcACBzYWx0QG5vdGF0 aW9ucy5vcGVucGdwanMub3Jn/+FiQqIFBm5d6bkRrvAo/fbzvXcjm5yRpqBG E0ZmOloWIQQ+k2NZBObfK8Tl7sKoEx+igX+A+wAA4E0QAIqAJKlFQs1N9GVy yHEmKoT6LD1pweO52oYhgNwV9h9xa83wLdFR182X00YgSGXASvjGIZ25CsXH W/74jDcy6JxS9xxeKQ6bVMJIPwuHVx2l3COB9gYUbgR+wnPAdMJIH+C04I1s M3VIe+lf/06hD5BvFwbPLTH36vZ3GlFeZA1oY7pW1v1p/1buZ6V7+dQZ5Kf/ 6ScYbSGRCHmsTdPFBVyugcfFhCVDxtbI/lVwbMU7FUbs2CzrTK/cyRABJ7Lo /QeUE5vTLpAvtHtIbDM2/zPG4oMW/B0xM75aPLH2G/loscP6A9ZKaTyev/CD PG0ooa15haTKQ7l4atwhDN4kSNVyQsHg7fDSCVuMTGqV7TMF3IgyCjBFoB1Q fXJu8IBhHqbVDQwshlqPUi90q62cFZib6tWIkQjR/yOj1VSmj8lWYZsEdJHO Ck60kSmdjNhqjENNNfugMv8cytBGeY/n/P6VrR10e3ouBhqbrzG7WNRhnkA6 pQGAE/1wh8ncwqYadRBIfy4QT8ejSox1ggBjBC9d8DNWw+Fc8y4AJpfvWLey rUE0aIivQ9q1MgfmGizq4nxLbVcVAj8V/l0LZRJWXwWgsTv5EP4boXi7G0ry hTso/uvynzkSxnHs8fbLxOIDRIdqWnO0C6wmuOgWP8S71/v2i63P4nVAc4tO LvdW1Ti/ =IiR8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
