Hello,
When choosing Boot from eMMC - system on SATA, USB or NVMe in armbian-install using the Armbian 24.8.3 Bookworm Minimal / IOT, Kernel: 6.1.75, Release date: Sep 14, 2024 image on my NanoPi R6C, I get the following error:
The wird device name is also mentioned on the two preceeding dialogs ("it is highly recommended to wipe all partitions" and "this will wipe all data").
I took a look at the argmbian-install script and the check_partitions routine seems to assume that $diskcheck contains something that, when prefixed with /dev, can be used in the of parameter of the dd command. It is computed as
root_uuid=$(sed -e 's/^.*root=//' -e 's/ .*$//' < /proc/cmdline)
root_partition=$(blkid | tr -d '":' | grep "${root_uuid}" | awk '{print $1}')
root_partition_name=$(echo $root_partition | sed 's/\/dev\///g')
root_partition_device_name=$(lsblk -ndo pkname $root_partition)
diskcheck=$(lsblk -l | awk -F" " '/ disk / {print $1}' | grep -E '^sd|^nvme|^mmc' | grep -v "$root_partition_device_name" | grep -v boot)
With the following block devices (zram omitted)
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
mmcblk0 179:0 0 28.9G 0 disk
mmcblk0boot0 179:32 0 4M 1 disk
mmcblk0boot1 179:64 0 4M 1 disk
mmcblk1 179:96 0 29.7G 0 disk
└─mmcblk1p1 179:97 0 29.4G 0 part /var/log.hdd
nvme0n1 259:0 0 1.9T 0 disk
this evaluates to
root_uuid=UUID=be8e5867-07c9-4cae-842b-22fd411851ba
root_partition=/dev/mmcblk1p1
root_partition_name=mmcblk1p1
root_partition_device_name=mmcblk1
diskcheck=mmcblk0 nvme0n1
To me it seems that the computation of diskcheck assumes that lsblk will return at most one "disk" that is not the root device and not a boot partition. On my system, which has an EMMC, an NVME SSD and is booting from an sdcard, this assumption does not hold. Or maybe, including ^sd and ^mmc in the check is not the right thing to do here?
Am I doing something wrong here, do I have an unsupported block device layout or is this a bug in the armbian-install script? Is there maybe a workaround?
Thank you!
