When recording camera footage, I noticed that in the event of a power outage, the last 10-15 seconds, and sometimes even up to 30 seconds of footage, is not saved. To mitigate this issue, I added the sync and journal options to my /etc/fstab configuration.
However, after making this change, I encountered new problems:
After a soft reboot, the device, which normally boots in about 30 seconds, now takes up to 8 minutes to boot.
When I try to unzip a file (e.g., a zip archive), the process is significantly slower than before.
What would be a better way to resolve this issue? How can I ensure that camera footage is saved without introducing these performance problems or long boot times?
Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Hi,
If the device cannot be flashed/booted, please refer to the page to get uart log from the device: Jetson/General debug - eLinux.org
And get logs of host PC and Jetson device for reference. If you are using custom board, you can compare uart log of developer kit and custom board to get more information.
Also please check FAQs: Jetson AGX Orin FAQ
If possible, we would suggest follow quick start in developer guide to re-flash the system: Quick Start — NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide 1 documentation
And see if the issue still persists on a clean-flashed system.
Thanks!
Thank you for your response, but it seems a bit unrelated to the specific issue I’m facing. Let me clarify:
My issue is not about booting or flashing the device. The device boots fine, although it takes much longer after I made changes to the /etc/fstab file.
The primary problem is that in the event of a power outage, the last 10-30 seconds of camera footage is lost. To address this, I added sync and journal options to /etc/fstab.
However, this introduced new issues:
The device’s boot time increased significantly (from 30 seconds to 8 minutes).
File operations, like unzipping files, became very slow.
I’m looking for a better solution to prevent footage loss without impacting system performance. Could you provide any advice or guidance specific to this issue?
