ARMgunnaservu Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Hello,I am trying to copy my system from emmc to sd so i can install my current system on another OP. First problem was that when I am booting from emmc, sd card doesn't show up (fdisk -l). So i gave up on doing it that way and now i am copying to usb flash drive as image so i can re burn to sd and use in second OP I believe the image is going to be the entire 7.3gb of the emmc. Is there an easy way to undo the fs_resize? EG sudo fs_resize -"back to minimal option here" I'm hoping that will make the image smaller. or maybe a dd option?thanks.

ARMgunnaservu Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 yep, image copied to usb but is bigger than my sd card( emmc is just a tiny bit bigger than sd)can't resize online, booted from sd, emmc doesn't show in dev, tried to umount based on knowing the dev name, device busy. fiddle sticks.

martinayotte Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Of course, doing plain image backup is troublesome. But take a look at this thread : http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/1070-install-to-emmc/page-2#entry11374 It is producing a 7z zip file which is smaller.
