Hello,
I’ve just successfully installed StartOS on my RPi 4, 8GB RAM. I flashed it on a 16GB SD card and connected 1TB Samsung SSD (I was running Citadel previously without a problem).
I managed to get it up and running, installed Bitcoin core and it started synchronizing without any issue. After some time, I came back to it, it was on login screen and I could no longer log in. It said “RPC ERROR: Database Error error returned from database: could not open file “global/1260”: Read-only file system”
I restarted it, after which it wouldn’t even load on the URL, so I connected by inputting its IP address. I used the restart button there, and it seemed that it has stopped working, but has resurrected after a while to show me an error screen.
Here’s a screenshot of the logs.
Any advice? I just don’t understand why it would just stop working.

I tried the system rebuild button and now I’m getting a different error

Please see the big red warning on our [Pi DIY documentation](https://docs.start9.com/0.3.5.x/diy/diy-pi). This hardware setup is not supported and we highly recommend against it. You may also like to read this [recent response I wrote concerning the pi](https://community.start9.com/t/raspberry-pi-no-longer-recommended-for-use-with-bitcoin-stack/779/4), and perhaps consider using different hardware. Pi users will have an exceedingly worse time in the coming months, and you risk data corruption every day that it runs.
