Cannot mount partitions after dd on Linux so customizing config files fails #76

Closed davidjmurray closed 8 years ago

davidjmurray commented 8 years ago

On: Linux Mint 17.1

As the image file actually contains data for 2 partitions, after writing to the SD card using dd, Linux does not know that the partition table may have changed.

This can be fixed by using hdparm to re-read the partition table on the SD card.

So, after the dd (or udevadm settle) and before the mount and file write processes, insert:

hdparm -z "${disk}"

Cheers,
