Re: [ts-7000] best way to get filesystem from nfs onto card/flash for ts7800

[Robert Ulbrich <>]

Hi Patty,

To get the rootfs onto the onboard flash, I would do the following:
1. zip up your rootfs
2. boot to the nfs share
3. mount the mtd partition
4. delete all the files on the mtd partition

5. umount it
6. run eraseall on the partition (re-creates the filesystem and rescans for bad blocks)
7. remount it
8. extract your filesystem onto the freshly mounted partition

If you are having trouble, you could take a look at the createmtdroot script to see what it's doing and try to execute it line by line manually. I think it's in /bin or /lbin.

I've been using an nfs share filesystem for development on a ts7800 board and am ready to move to a more permanent setup on the flash or an sd card. What's the best way to go about this? The createmtdroot command seems to be only for copying from a card, so I need to get it onto a card? I've had a terrible time trying to use the card images on the ftp site, so would really like an alternative. Thanks
