armbian-config reports not enouch space when installing Armbian to external USB HD


Recommended Posts

I have followed all threads dealing with this topic but got no where so maybe... just maybe someone has made it work somehow?

I have armbian (Armbian_23.02.2_Rk3318-box_bullseye_current_5.15.93) installed on a TV box with a Rockchip RK3318 inside it. I am using a microsd card and EVERYTHING is running wonderfully!

I have also attached a 500GB USB hard disk 

(output from fdisk-l)

Disk /dev/sda: 465.76 GiB, 500107862016 bytes, 976773168 sectors
Disk model: 5000BEV External
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

 

I ran armbian-config and tried to move the os to the hard disk while keeping the boot from sd card choice. That failed and I got the message "There is not enough free capacity on /dev/sda mmcblk2. Please check your device.

I tried mounting sda, deleteing all artitions on it ... etc but nothing worked. Any ideas?

Thanks

Looking into the script and debugging it? armbian-config just calls this:
https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/packages/bsp/common/usr/sbin/armbian-install

 

There are known bugs
https://armbian.atlassian.net/browse/AR-1592

and ongoing tasks

https://armbian.atlassian.net/browse/AR-1001

that might be related to the problem you are facing.
