Hi,

Not had any experience with usbip, however:
On the RPi, is there a service running for usbip?

If not, try re-running the daemon:

usbipd -D

[TBail]

@Fourdee
Indeed the usbipd was not running, but should be loaded in rc.local. This is working with version 6.19.7 .
Used the following code
usbipd -D
in rc.local. Changed it to
/usr/sbin/usbipd -D
but while rebooting it did not start. So i put some echo statements into the rc.local to create a log. And as far as i understand it the rc.local is never executed.

@TBail

Strange, please check the rc.local service:

systemctl status rc.local -l

[Fourdee]

Simple systemD service I created, this replaces rc.local and offers improved logging with:

systemctl status usbip -l

Copy + paste all

cat << _EOF_ > /etc/systemd/system/usbip.service
[Unit]
Description=usbip
After=network.target network-online.target

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=$(which usbipd)

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
_EOF_
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable usbip.service
systemctl start usbip

Found some more user reports about disabled rc.local. It is disabled by default on fresh Debian, but I also found user reports where it was working before an update. Perhaps a recent systemd update actively disabled it or changed something. systemctl enable rc-local however still works.

But yeah the feature is deprecated and own systemd unit preferred.
Or use DietPi-PostBoot implementation: /var/lib/dietpi/postboot/my_script

[TBail]

because of the deprication of rc.Local i moved over to a own systemd service. This works perfect.

Thnaks for your help.
