Hi Gurus, can someone help me out here. I can successfully create a Debian SD
card for a TS-7800 with:
sudo dd if=512mbsd-latest.dd of=/dev/sdf
It's a 2 GB card, though, and I'd like to have the full card available for
Debian. The instructions on the TS ftp site state:
"The bootable SD card has four partitions. Partition 1 is a VFAT partition
which is normally empty. (On 2GB cards from the factory, this partiton
contains Eclipse tools and documentation.) Partition 2 contains a raw kernel
image. Partition 3 contains the initial ramdisk. Partition 4 contains the
Debian root file system. After writing your SD card with the image, if your
card is larger than 512MB you can use fdisk to resize partition 4."
and sure enough
sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdf
Disk /dev/sdf: 2002 MB, 2002255872 bytes
62 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1017 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 3844 * 512 = 1968128 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdf1 1 3 4096 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
Partition 1 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-Linux?):
phys=(0, 4, 13) logical=(0, 4, 9)
Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings:
phys=(17, 2, 30) logical=(2, 12, 16)
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sdf2 3 4 3072 da Non-FS data
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sdf3 5 6 1536 da Non-FS data
Partition 3 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-Linux?):
phys=(16, 12, 25) logical=(4, 20, 25)
Partition 3 has different physical/logical endings:
phys=(19, 13, 58) logical=(5, 7, 58)
Partition 3 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sdf4 7 258 482944 83 Linux
Partition 4 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-Linux?):
phys=(50, 7, 6) logical=(6, 28, 33)
Partition 4 has different physical/logical endings:
phys=(1023, 7, 61) logical=(257, 45, 22)
Partition 4 does not end on cylinder boundary.
However, when I try fdisk to resize by deleting partition 4, then making a new
primary partition (d 4 n p 4) starting at 7 and ending at the default 1017,
then write (w) then try
sudo resize2fs /dev/sdf4
I get
resize2fs 1.41.4 (27-Jan-2009)
resize2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdf4
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
My system (Intrepid Ibex) doesn't have ext2resize.
When I try parted, I get
(parted) resize 4
Start? [11.8MB]?
End? [2002MB]?
Error: Could not detect file system.
Can anyone help me figure out how to resize partition 4?
Many TIA,
Craig
