Workaround working nicely Smile

Today I hope to get more done trying to get this to run from usb. I'll try what you suggested @nachteule.

@elrock
Not really Sad

Input/Output error never sounds good.

Source fs already checked? (btrfs scrub)
Destination device ok?
Power fail issue?

What is the pathway for the source fs? I found nothing in /tmp.

The destination device is a 8gb thumb drive formatted as ext2. It gets power from the RPi. Could that be the source of the problem?

Oc not, source is / fs, so run sudo btrfs scrub start / && sudo btrfs scrub status / to check if fs is ok

Sure

So I ran the btrfs scrub and it found "11 uncorrectable errors," so no go. Is it still safe to restore from a backup of the Home directory, at least? I made a backup and it didn't encounter any errors.

Ok, so we know the reason why Xbian-copier does not work without an error.

It should be safe, but it's better to locate those 11 files. AFAIR when running a scrub, those broken files are logged and can be displayed via dmesg command

So I still have this issue on my pi2 installs.....

Here is what I have done......

If I put "root=/dev/sda5" the pi goes into a never ending reboot loop.
If I put "root=UUID=e86f613c-8db0-4fc6-99d1-53d8e4ff0e3a" I get "sd card resize" on the main screen and that too never ends. ( have waited for 30mins + and still no end).

Where have I gone wrong? It used to work fine from usb following the instructions on the main page, but now I can't get it to boot properly..... ???

What's on /dev/sda5?

Does this answer your question?

If I follow the guide on the wiki I get error message in xbian-config. I am confused as it all used to work fine - but I guess I attract this kind of thing Wink

Not completely. Hopefully you have the folder structure root/ modules/ and /home on it.

Maybe the scripts getting confused due to the identical labels of /dev/mmcblk0p2 and /dev/sda5 (I don't believe this, but who knows ...)

Quote:If I follow the guide on the wiki I get error message in xbian-config. I am confused as it all used to work fine - but I guess I attract this kind of thing

Hmmm, maybe the wiki lies Tongue

But, seriously, that should not be a big problem cloning root partition:
Select function 6 inside xbian-config, source /dev/root, destination /dev/sda5 and let it run. I did this many times

Should finish without any error message, but if you get error message, it's not big surprise that booting from this partition fails ... Dodgy

Hmmm.... This is interesting... From fdisk -l

Those last 2 lines seem to suggest that the stick is showing up twice ??? - I wouldn't have thought it was possible?

Still, if I select /dev/sda1 to copy to I get error message. If I select /dev/sda5 it completes, but won't boot when cmdline.txt has it's root=/dev/sda5 edit.

***Nachteule*** · (This post was last modified: 12th May, 2018 09:10 PM by Nachteule.)

Oooops, strange partition table. I'm unsure that scripts can deal with that table

Partition 1 is extended Partition, you can't write data into, it's just a container for other (logical) partitions
and partition 5 has wrong partition type, should have 83 (Linux) instead of 0xc (FAT32 LBA)

I would create a new partition table and with only one primary partition. The partition layout you have absolutely makes no sense

Skywatch · 13th May, 2018, 02:56 AM

You see, I told you it wasn't working Tongue

I'll try again tomorrow as I had a little bit of an accident today and definitly ruined a 64Gb microSD card, maybe a pi3 as well - need to look into that urgently. Could take some time though. Sad

Thanks for confirming that the problem was really there and not just in my head! Wink
