Flashes used for the 7050QX-32 and 7050QX-32S have a fw issue. The best option to solve the problem is to upgrade to a newer firmware. However this can only be done while in memory and take 10 seconds. Adding an upgrade mechanism is possible but would need more consideration as flashing the firmware and reformating the flash will exceed the fast-reboot requirements. A quick mitigation is to align the ext4 partition that we create on these vfat based system on a 4k boundary. Here we chose 1M instead but it's the same. Newer version of sfdisk do this automatically but the one in SONiC today doesn't have this behavior. This workaround will only reduce the pace of the flash health degradation. The only long term fix is to flash the firmware. |
