[SOLVED] [RC 2] ssh xbian-config clone and backup errors

[IriDium]

Can someone with a 256MB RPi confirm the following.

ssh xbian-config clone to file.

I attempted (Twice) to clone a 2G card to a 8G NTFS USB stick. It reached 99% both times and then hung. dmesg showed a kernel panic (Forgot to save it!). poweroff didn't work after that - just hung on shutting down.

I then tried the same procedure using the same SD card and NTFS USB stick but in a 512MB RPi and it worked as expected.

Also in the 256MB RPi the ssh xbian-config backup to home never completed just blue screen with "Backing up file zzzzz". Left for two hours and nothing had changed. System seemed to have hung (or V high CPU) as unable to ssh in with another shell.

Everything works as expected with a 512Mb RPi

So it seems to be related to the 256MB model only.

Solved: Looks like it is related to the size of the SD card 2G. Moving to a 4G SD card solved both problems.
