restore takes two tries

[johnnyt]

have had to do a bunch of restores tonight and each time I get an error during the "clearing old configuration" step. something about java null exception. Each time I simply restart the restore and it moves past that and completes no problem.

 

I did try to search for this before posting but all the words I used were too common... no results

 

am running 3.1.11

Move to 3.1.16. That symptom cannot be evaluated on that old a code base.

upgraded to 3.1.16 and the problem happened again. However, I followed my test with the replacement of my SD card (to solve a different problem) and installed 3.1.17. I don't know whether it was something to do with the (old) SD card or something in 3.1.17 but things are fine now.

Hi johnnyt,

 

How's the performance on the new SD Card? I think most of the problems you were having were related to a defective SD Card.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Hi Michel,

 

Performance of the restore is significantly better. It went from taking 8 1/2 minutes on the old SD card (with the failure mentioned above about 1:20 into the process) to about 3 1/2 minutes (no failure). Am only one day into the new card but have seen a marginal improvement in the best backup time and no ~5 min backups as would happen occasionally before.

 

In other areas performance improvements varies from marginal (loading programs) to fair (initial startup).

 

It didn't fix the need for me to add a "wait 2 secs" when I have a program that sends a notification then updates a state variable (http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=7693&p=59009#p59009)

 

I hope to post with more info to my other thread after I've done more testing.
