OMV and Raspberry pi

Wasn't saying you could. Just wanted to give him an idea on how slow it stays, even with hdd.

i know it's slow. just a cheap toy. it's something to play around with to waste (a bit too much) time.

oh pardon me. i almost forgot
How -to Geek (http://www.howtogeek.com) usually has something useful if i have questions about linux (windows too maybe, that is if i used windows a lot) or when i have a problem and need some quick help with a command. it's not the only site; it's just one of several. most of the time i can find and answer or soulation somewhere if i dig deep enough or ask the right questions (asking the right questions is the hard part. don't always do so good there.). useful feedback though is helpful.

I will make a small image of just /boot.

Zitat von davidh2k

It would be nice if you could prepare both /boot and the rest of it as second image, I can grow it on the USB HDD then.

ryecoaaron - did you manage to build those separate /boot and the "rest" image images? That would be a great idea to make the SD card less accessed so that it might have a longer life . I want to use my Raspberry pi as an OMV but am very concerned that the SD will fail after a short while leaving me with nothing.

Best regards,

Thank you. Will be looking forward. I guess many within the community will look forward to it as well.

Hi Ryecoaaron,

Would your image work for a Banana Pi? I was talking to David2k about this a few weeks ago and he was considering helping me but I think his Banana Pi (which was yours at one point?) bit the dust!

Many thanks,
Dale.

Shoot. Do you know anyone who would be willing to replicate what you've done with the Banana Pi?

Pike,

I think we can help you split your image yourself.

If I remember correctly, aaron told me that you just have dd your sd card to your USB HDD, then edit your fstab to use /boot for booting on sdcard and rest from hdd. reboot, and you can delete the stuff on your sd card except boot.

As an example, my fstab from the RPi:

proc            /proc   proc    defaults                0       0
/dev/mmcblk0p1  /boot   vfat    defaults                0       2
/dev/sda1       none    swap    sw                      0       0
/dev/sda2       /       ext4    defaults,noatime        0       1

Many thanks David and Aaron. I am very limited around these things but slowly getting better. I will try to do this over the weekend and maybe start a new thread so as not to hijack this one.

It would be much appreciated if both of you would keep an eye out for me on the forum as I will likely be battling roadblocks.
