[IMX6] Cubox-i4Pro - storage partition resize fails on first boot #5004

Closed Andy-ABTec closed 7 years ago

Andy-ABTec commented 7 years ago

Hi, have been playing with devel-20170121115440-r23710-gf0a2bdf on my Cubox-i4... Everything looked good until I realized that the /storage partiton had not been resized at initial boot and was full viz:

OpenELEC:~ # df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on devtmpfs 738288 0 738288 0% /dev /dev/mmcblk0p1 524008 163544 360464 31% /flash /dev/mmcblk0p2 27633 26978 0 100% /storage /dev/loop0 156416 156416 0 100% / tmpfs 903020 0 903020 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 903020 8204 894816 1% /run tmpfs 903020 0 903020 0% /sys/fs/cgroup tmpfs 903020 236 902784 0% /var tmpfs 903020 0 903020 0% /tmp OpenELEC:

Which played merry hell with the database and the ability to create advancedsettings.xml.

Only other oddity I spotted is that the red light on the front of the cube is flashing rather than on all the time (flash-flash-pause, flash-flash-pause).

Other than that,looks good and appears to play video without problems (so far so good)...

OK, so resizing the partition with gparted "fixes" the problem, the database updates as expected and I can even point the cube at a MySQL server on my NAS.

Still have the flashing led problem, and the partition problem obviously needs a proper sort out (by someone brighter than me! - Not hard...)

thanks for the report, will look at this

Since opening this issue I've been poking about trying to figure out how the ext4 partition gets resized on first boot, and I'm not having a lot of luck.. Can some kind soul point me in the right direction please? Thanks...

OK, So I've just built yet another image from scratch... BEFORE testing in the box I mounted the images as files systems to check their content. The 2nd (32MB) partition contains a single empty file /storage/.please_resize_me which is correct. Copying SYSTEM from the 1st (512MB) partition elsewhere and unsquashing it give me access to

/usr/lib/openelec/fs-resize /usr/lib/systemd/system/fs-resize.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/fs-resize.target

The content of which all seems to be fine...

Acid test, make a new "disk" and boot it, no partition resize, I'm at a loss...

should work now, create a new report if this problem still exist
