Still no joy. :-(
I am getting an error when writing the 4GB image to a 4 GB SD card. root@dennis-VirtualBox:/home/dennis/BBB/image-builder/deploy# xz -cd bone-debian-7.3-2014-01-14-4gb.img.xz > /dev/sdd xz: (stdout): Write error: No space left on device I expanded the image to check its size and it comes back as 3.7GB which should fit. So I then unmounted the two partitions and copied the image file to the SD card (/dev/sdd) again. This also failed root@dennis-VirtualBox:/home/dennis/BBB/image-builder/deploy# cp bone-debian-7.3-2014-01-14-4gb.img /dev/sdd cp: writing ‘/dev/sdd’: No space left on device cp: failed to extend ‘/dev/sdd’: No space left on device I then removed and reinserted the SD card. It mounted the BOOT partition on /dev/sdd1, but failed to mount the rootfs partition from /dev/sdd2 with the following error: Error mounting /dev/sdd2 at /media/dennis/rootfs: Command-line `mount -t "ext4" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid" "/dev/sdd2" "/media/dennis/rootfs"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdd2 Next I checked the size of the SD card. dennis@dennis-VirtualBox:~$ cat /sys/block/sdd/size 7626752 I believe this is units of 512B blocks. This corresponds to 3.904 GB or 3.637 GiB. The image file size is: root@dennis-VirtualBox:/home/dennis/BBB/image-builder/deploy# ls -l bone-debian-7.3-2014-01-14-4gb.img -rw-r--r-- 1 dennis dennis 3932160000 Jan 15 12:26 bone-debian-7.3-2014-01-14-4gb.img This size is 3.932 GB or 3.662 GiB (i.e. the 3.7GB reported earlier). Therefore this image is slightly too large for my nominal 4GB SD card. Can this image be resized so that it is small enough to fit? I know that the armhf.com images are 2 GB. These can be copied to a larger SD card and then fdisk is used to resize the second partition to fill the SD card, and finally the filesystem is resized to match the new partition size. This seems like a better approach than arbitrarily reducing the image size to fit on undersized SD cards, though it is more complicated.
