Changes to make it work in Ubuntu

[michaeldg]

Very nice work!

I have some changes to make it work on Ubuntu 16.04 with a 4.4.0 kernel, the partition number is 'p1' instead of '1'. Shall I make a pull request?

Please, do it. I thought i had fixed this error. Can you push your kernel 4.4 to github so i can build and test your kernel with an ext4 partition? If it is already there pelase give some pointers, thanks

[michaeldg]

I am sorry for the misunderstanding, my amd64 laptop is running Ubuntu with that kernel, I did not compile it for the NanoPI.

The patch provided is to make your scripts work on my system, to write the SD card. I will modify my changes to make it detect 'p1' partitions or not (my systems has the partitions on /dev/mmcblk0p2, I suppose your system has them on /dev/sdc2).

Give me some time though, I am leaving for 2 weeks of holidays tomorrow.

No problem.
