amuza Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Hello! I have Armbian running on a Lime2. It runs from the microSD. The board has eMMC and I have also connected a SATA SSD through USB because I would like to move the system to the SSD. I have tried doing so through the nand-sata-install.sh script but it always shows the following message: There are no available partitions. Please create them. I get that message no matter if I choose to have the boot partition on eMMC or on microSD. And I don't know much about partitions. What partitions should I create? Where should I create them? How should I create them? Thank you! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Werner Posted February 28, 2021 Solution Share Posted February 28, 2021 Try to check fdisk -l In theory you should get two results: your sdcard and your eMMC. Once you got the block device of your eMMC open it with a partition tool like cfdisk and try to create a partition on it. Not sure whats wrong though because the script should take care for it...in theory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amuza Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 Thank you @Werner! I followed your instructions. I found the eMMC device through fdisk -l and then I run cfdisk on it, so now it has a linux partition. However, nothing has changed, I keep receiving the same message when I choose to move things to USB/SATA, I keep getting: There are no avaliable partitions. Please create them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottP Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Seems like a bug, this is an old post so maybe if anyone has the same issue, do what I did: I got same error so I created two partitions for boot and root. Of course /boot was not mounted and used at all so it ended up as part of root and my board would not boot. I fixed this by mounting it and copying the files myself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
