Re: [ts-7000] dd and 2GB SD cards

[Clark Dunson <>]

Hey Don;  I had the same thing.  Patriot apparently has switched suppliers (based on minor physical diffs in the plastic) to devices that are slightly smaller.

What I have done is to downsize the partitions to fit any, and then proceed anyway.  I still get the "No space left on device" error yes, but now it is merely unused space that fails to be written, and the active partitions are intact.

 

Hope it helps

I recently went to make a backup of my 2GB SD card used as the Debian file
system for my TS-7260.

dd if=/dev/sdb of=backupfile.dd bs=2048

The resulting file was 1977614336 bytes. I then attempted to write this image
to a new 2GB SD card.

dd if=backupfile.dd of=/dev/sdb bs=2048

I received the following error:
dd: writing to `/dev/sdb': No space left on device
3842049+0 records in
3842048+0 records out
1967128576 bytes (2.0 GB) copied, 1950.22 s, 1.0 MB/s

Why wouldn't the image fit on a new SD card if it could fit on the one I copied
it from?
