Hallo Martin,
<br>
<br>
My cluster DL8FCL-7 (dl8fcl.dyndns.org 8000) is also running on a
Raspberry Pi (model B, first generation), wheezy and the whole file
system on a 16 GB SD card. A few days ago I made the update to
DXSpider v1.55 build 0.175. Before this the system was running for
more than 1 year without a reboot or restart of the cluster. The SD
card is in use for more than 3 years.
<br>
Indeed the support for wheezy will end very soon and we should
update to jessie. But I think it is really better to do it with an
clean new installation of the OS.
<br>
On my wheezy system the cluster is started with an old fashioned
entry in the file /etc/inittab. This is no longer supported in
jessie. If you start your cluster also with the /etc/inittab you
have to find a solution for this, even when you do an dist-upgrade.
A possible solution for jessie can be a service file in <i
class="moz-txt-slash"><span class="moz-txt-tag">/</span>etc/systemd/system<span
class="moz-txt-tag">/</span></i>. There is an example I wrote a
few years ago for openSUSE that should work also with debian.

Hello all, the GB7DXC-5 node is running DXSpider (v1.55 build 0.175) on a Raspberry Pi
Model B+ with the 2015-05-05 version of 'wheezy' as the operating system and with the root
filesystem on a USB hard disk. The Pi runs headless so all sysadmin access to it is via SSH.
I believe the support for 'wheezy' is being (or perhaps already has been) discontinued so it
looks like it's time to upgrade the O/S on the R-Pi to the latest 'jessie' version. I could start
afresh with a clean image of 'jessie' and then reinstall DXSpider and make the other changes
to put /dev/root onto the USB disk but I would much prefer to do an in-situ upgrade of the
O/S.
Has anyone already done the upgrade from 'wheezy' to 'jessie' with an R-Pi running
DXSpider? If you have, what process did you follow - if at all possible I'd like to follow a
process that has already been tried and tested!
Thanks in advance for any help and advice you can give,
