(Of course if you created smaller partition than the image, dd will fail with 'no space left on device' error message.)īefore running resize2fs you have to check the partition: e2fsck -f /dev/sdb1 If you created larger partition than the image, you have to resize to partition. Copy image to the partition ¶Ĭommand: dd if=root_fs.img of=/dev/sdb1 bs=4096 To create partitions you can use gparted graphical utility, too, or any other partition utility. Number Start End Size Type File system FlagsĪfter that you can create as many partition as you want. Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition type? primary/extended? primary Its size have to be at least 4278190080 Byte, but we will create a 20GB partition. At the end of this step we have two files:Ĭreate a partition for the image. count=4278190080 -> The size of the second partition.The start position of the second partition inside the image file.

fullblock -> 'accumulate full blocks of input (iflag only)'.count_bytes -> 'treat 'count=N' as a byte count (iflag only)'.skip_bytes -> 'treat 'skip=N' as a byte count (iflag only)'.iflag -> 'read as per the comma separated symbol list'.Extract the second partition from the image ¶Ĭommand: dd if=-raspbian-jessie.img iflag=skip_bytes,count_bytes,fullblock bs=4096 skip=70254592 count=4278190080 of=root_fs.img The created image is about 70MB, and it is more than enough to boot your PI, but be aware that you have to modify the cmdline.txt to use an external hard disk for the root partition. Run this command: parted -raspbian-jessie.img

Extract Partitions From The Image File ¶ 2.1. If something fails during working with the image try decrease 'bs' to 1024. You can create copy of your entire SD card. These tips can be useful when you deal with SD card, SD card images and hard drives. So why am I writing this post? Just because I spent a lot of time to do this on my own, and I want to write down my experiences. This happens to me and I decided not to use SD cards anymore. I pretty sure all SD card will die in some months, and you will lost all of your data. I had a lot of problems with SD cards, I think they are absolutely unsuitable for use in a raspberry and store the root file system on them. Using external storage is highly recommended if you want to use your RPI as a server machine which runs 7/24.

There are a lot of very good and useful guide on the Internet which can help you to move your root file system to an external USB storage. I don't think this article can be used as a complete guide, the only reason I let this post (a)live is the commands and links in it. Orange & Banana PIs: Armbian has the feature of moving file system to USB ( armbian-config).

#Rpi wipefs install

Raspberry PIs: With help of noobs you can install the whole OS to external device.

Maybe this post has lost its purpose because nowadays all modern distros support moving root file system to external device, for examples: Most of the information here now is only for reference or example!
