Move Armbian "stretch" from SD CARD to SSD. Nothing works...

[vegabook]

I have dd'd Armbian "stretch" onto a 16GB SD card and it's booting my CubieTruck fine. But I have no clue how to move it from there (mmcblk0p1) to my attached 128GB SSD (sda1). I've tried the nand_sata_install shell script but it appears to be a bit old (2 years), created a bunch of weird temp directories:

 

root@cubietruck:~# df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev            939M     0  939M   0% /dev
tmpfs           202M  4.0M  198M   2% /run
/dev/mmcblk0p1   15G  1.1G   14G   8% /
tmpfs          1006M     0 1006M   0% /dev/shm
tmpfs           5.0M  4.0K  5.0M   1% /run/lock
tmpfs          1006M     0 1006M   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs          1006M     0 1006M   0% /tmp
log2ram          50M  2.3M   48M   5% /var/log
tmpfs           202M     0  202M   0% /run/user/0

and anyway as you can see my SSD does not appear to be visible. I've looked at a bunch of websites which mentions uEnv.txt file on my mounted mmcbl0p1 drive in root but there is no such file. There is an armbianEnv.txt file but that has no obvious way to change it. Are there up to date instructions somewhere on how to achieve this?

Actually I have gotten it working using this. The only difference is that on CubieTruck you mustn't edit the boot.cmd directly, just edit armbianEnv.txt with the UUID of your SSD, then do the fstab bit. You don't even have to rebuild the boot.scr because I think it's configured to read from armbianEnv.txt.

Well, if you use some very outdated script ... with a recent image, this for sure won't work. Many things have changed since ... But you should have more recent script on your image, also there is armbian-config and you can call that script from there. Can you provide:

 

armbianmonitor -u just for the record to see which image do you have.

yes actually that bananapi thing is not working. It's given me a read only file system. Let me try to find the nand_sata_install script. I'm starting from scratch. 

The image I have is the Armbian server image that I downloaded off this site a few hours ago. armbianmonitor -u is giving me an error probably related to the read only file system.

Got it working now. Simple as running armbian-config. Sticking a ten pound contribution in to you. Thank you.

Done. Man Paypal is one BIATCH to get working again after not having logged in for a while! Oh and, CubieTruck now living life!
