Re: Resizing the partition for Quadra image.
|
The image is a bit by bit copy from the original disk.? This includes the formatting, partition table (which defines the size of the partition table), the various data structures the operating system uses to locate the files...even the random stuff that was on unused portions of the original disk is part of the image..
So, when you put the image onto the new media, that image replaces all of information that used to be on the target disk.
Also, make sure you don't copy the wrong direction.? It can take a long time to recover from that mistake...please don't ask me how I know that!? :-)

No problem, all of this is new to me and waiting on the device and plan on using a 128GB microSD card.? You original post gave me a concern over if I am using too large of card and what size would be optimal. So imaging a file sets a partition size based on the image needs and considerably less than the available amount (assuming card size is larger than needed).
As you your statement, I am not clear on the partitioning tool used.? Can you provide some clarification?
Thanks,

Hi Andrew, ????? Formatting the drive before imaging it would kinda be
useless since any existing formatting or partitioning is destroyed
during the imaging process.? But I do have an update on the
subject and was just getting ready to post my solution.? While in
the Quadra-4-HamRadio OS install G Parted.? this partitioning tool
(for Linux) will allow you to resize the imaged partition without
destroying the image. ????? Thank you for your response.? Greatly appreciated. 73, Herbert K7HAD

Not having any experience with this subject (yet), couldn¡¯t you
first format and partition the MicroSD card using a PC/Mac then
flash the image to it?? If not, maybe just create another
partition as a separate storage volume.?

Hi Folks,
?
??? Has anyone tried,
had any issues or been able to resize the partition of
the Quadra image.? I have burned the image to a 64 GB
micro-SD card and was attempting to expand the
partition to use the entire drive.? All attempts to do
this have resulted in a corrupted image that will not
boot.

??? Thank you in
advance for any assistance rendered.

??? Oh, and booting the
image without resizing the partition works
wonderfully.? I just hate having 45 GB on a drive just
sitting there doing nothing.
