Install option doesn't set proper filesystem type in boot.cmd

Question

Install option doesn't set proper filesystem type in boot.cmd

amateusz opened this issue 6 years ago · comments

I wanted to move the whole filesystem to external USB drive. I've used 'install' option in the armbian-config. It had asked me to format the new drive, and offered a variety of filesystems (I picked btrfs).

Then it had copied the whole filesystem (well, it turns out that without boot directory)… so far so good.
It failed to boot; I poked around a bit, and with some help I've figured out the boot order and realised, that setenv line in boot.cmd point to the good drive (UUID), but specifies wrong filesystem type.

The setup process asks for filesystem type, but forgets to update uboot's boot.cmd accordingly
setenv bootargs "console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty1 root=UUID=2f938bf2-82d8-4e69-83d9-3c662553dccd rootwait rootfstype=ext4 cgroup_enable=memory

So I've changed it (lit. rootfstype=btrfs), recompiled using uboot-tools and voilà.

I'm on ARMBIAN 5.25 stable Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 4.14.70-sunxi A20 board

Thank you, but I guess this problem was fixed (in sources) with armbian/build@9e018b0#diff-d9f1078e3fed3bc093787ab0a6240f14
