[IDEA] Boot XBian from USB

[Mark]

Can you post the output of the command ´mount´ here.

Here it is:

Code:

Okay and how does it look after step 2 of mk01 guide?

Okay can you repeat the whole procedure again but now before step 1 do a 'sudo umount /dev/sda1' .

If it still does not work, post output of 'sudo mount' after step 2. Also post output of 'fdisk -l'.

Ok. This is with suggestion before his first step:

Code:

Okay. Please also give me the output of 'sudo mount' like you did a couple of posts ago. Except now after step 2.

The formatting of /dev/sda1fails because it's mounted. Which is odd because you did an umount.
Maybe it is caused by usb auto mount. Can you try disabling this and then try again.

sudo nano /etc/usbmount/usbmount.conf

Change enabled=1 to 0, save it and then reboot.

I think I did the first part of your request wrong but heres what I did and I got the same error.

Code:

xbmc stop/waiting

After I changed the auto mount .config file, it seemed to copy all of the files without a problem. No operation errors ))))) I will be away from keyboard for the next 3 hours but will be back I will keep you posted Fred Thanks a lot

[Mark]

Ok. So it seemed that when i edited the automount usb file, the rsync could be completed. I believe it had one error at the end but it seemed to continue the process.

I was unable to catch the error as I was directly on the RPI CLI and not using ssh.

Edited the rest of the files without any problems.

But one issue now.

When I power it up with the usb plugged in, it seems to display the splash screen and then flip over to the verbose version (if you will) stating all of the files that are being loaded. It does this for about 45 seconds and then it just stays at the screen "starting xmbc".

Code:

0) stop xbmc
1) mkfs.btrfs -L xbian-usb /dev/sda1
2) mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
3) rsync -avx —progress / /mnt
4) rsync -avx —progress /home /mnt/home
5) step 3)
6) nano /mnt/etc/fstab :
a) remove line with "/home"
b) change LABEL=xbian-root-btrfs to LABEL=xbian-usb, remove "subvol=root/@," option from "/".
7) edit /boot/cmdline.txt
a) change LABEL the same way as in 6a)
b) change mod_scsi.scan=async to =sync
c) according the need, change number after rootwait=

Ok. now for an easy question....on Step 5), it says step 3...? so do i repeat step 3????

My newest error when running

Code:

rsync -avx -progress / /mnt

Error:

Code:

ERROR: var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin failed verification -- update discarded.
ERROR: var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin failed verification -- update discarded.

Any ideas on how to fix this?? Are the two updates vital to the rsync copy to USB?

yes, just repeat the step 3. it's because copying / takes a while and some files could be changed during the run. so just to be sure everything is atomic. second time it takes just few seconds.

the error on /var/cache should not be critical. it's just cache files for apt operations, if damaged, should have been recreated when needed.

[Mark]

Ok. I completed the steps including the step 3 repeat on step 5. I Booted the system and I saw that there was an error accessing the /home folder. When I have a chance later today, I will find out what the error was.

[Mark]

Also a quick note. When I completed the USB install and followed the steps, it booted ok. But it would go to Xbmc loading, and it would flip back and forth from that and the Xbian Login in CLI. So i dont know if this helps or what this means.. Tonight I will find the error message I got with the /home folder missing

[Fred]

Remove step 3 - 5 and replace it by this:

rsync -aAX /* /mnt/ --exclude={/dev/*,/proc/*,/sys/*,/tmp/*,/run/*,/mnt/*,/media/*,/lost+found,/home/*/.gvfs} --progress

Somehow the home folder is not copied (which contains xbmc files). Don't know why it went wrong but using this method will copy it.

[Uncle_Tubbie]

Hi I'm trying and reading to my eyes bleed, but I keep getting the following error message

rsync: link_stat "/root/.progress" failed: No such file or directory (2)

Any suggestins on how to over come this. It happens here..

stop xbmc
mkfs.btrfs -L xbian-usb /dev/sda1

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt

So the answer was right above me:

Quote:rsync -aAX /* /mnt/ --exclude={/dev/*,/proc/*,/sys/*,/tmp/*,/run/*,/mnt/*,/media/*,/lost+found,/home/*/.gvfs} --progress

new question.

Is nano /mnt/etc/fstab : still vaild?

Putty just brings up an empty page claiming to fstab

Cheers - again thanks for the help

Testing this now. I will know in about 2 hours when I have free time

Also tried to run "nano /mnt/etc/fstab :" Was able to edit it to specifications but then I couldnt save it because it gave me "[Error writing /mnt/etc/fstab: Read-only file system]"

So from this I am unable to change the fstab file. So how can this read-only be fixed?
