I tried this a couple of months ago with an Pi2, and it's working great

I had to repeat the process above 2 times, went back to a backup of this SD-card in between, but at the eind it works as expected: only bootcode.bin on a FAT formatted card and it boots further from USB. Great!
With df -h I checked available file size and my full 32Gb is now accessible. Main issue solved. By running sudo fdisk -l I also found a SWAP file mounted on /dev/sda3, so that seems good too now!

Very well possible, good that you found a reason! (although I only followed the backup to USB procedure from xbian-config at the time)

Quote:You're booting from sd-card (/dev/mmcblk0p1) but when system is up this partition is not mounted to /boot. /dev/sda1 is mounted instead. This is wrong and will produce serious issues in case of installing/updateing packages!

Please correct this in /etc/fstab and try again

Please help me with my /etc/fstab content. I see for instance 2 identical lines with an UUID. With your help I might streamline my fstab as well and have a proper functioning system left.

Code:
