Description

I am using influx DB in combination with ioBroker on an raspberry Pi.

After issues with the SSD and too many write attempts I moved the influxDB database on an external SSD drive that is mounted with the raspberry and the new location is "/mnt/mySSD/InfluxDB".

The problem is, that after a normal manual reboot influxDB has problems connecting the DB and in ioBroker I am getting the error message: "No connection to DB".

How can I solve this issue?

I hope you can help me. If you need any additional information feel free to ask me (in best case with the command how to get the information).

Thanks a lot and kind regards Mathias

Research direction

No source file or test is identified. Start by checking whether /mnt/mySSD/InfluxDB is mounted and reviewing InfluxDB startup logs after reboot. Done means InfluxDB connects successfully after a normal Raspberry Pi restart and ioBroker no longer reports that there is no database connection.
