Beagleboard -XM and 32GB microSD card oddities
I'm not really looking for a solution, just supplying some information in case anyone is contemplating a 16GB card. Using Ubuntu 11.04 ARM or x86_64, I cannot create an ext4 partition that will mount. Doing fsck.ext4 appears to fix the filesystem, but rerunning fsck.ext4 a second time gives the same errors. Only BTRFS works. A BTRFS partition can be created without a problem. I then use rsync to copy across all the data from the 16GB (ext4) partition and it mounts without errors. After the rsync I create the excluded directories proc, sys, tmp, media. I get a kernel oops (2.6.39-x1) on boot up of the 32GB card. I'm still trying to figure why I'm getting the oops that I don't have on the original 16GB card. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

Re: Beagleboard -XM and 32GB microSD card oddities
Is your card labeled SDHC or SDXC? Can you give the specs of your card? Have you tried on Pandaboard?

Re: Beagleboard -XM and 32GB microSD card oddities
It's marked Sandisk microSD HC 32GB. The only view and description of how it's put together is at http://www.androidcentral.com/finger-32gb-sandisk-microsd-card where one reply reckons it's Class 2. http://www.jigsaw24.com/product-details/x946axa/sandisk-32gb-micro-sd-card for a much clear photo. I only have a Beagleboard -XM, no access to a Pandaboard. Regards Sid. On 30/06/11 15:43, Gregoire Gentil wrote: Is your card labeled SDHC or SDXC? Can you give the specs of your card?

I just had a closer look with a magnifier, it's Class 6. Regards Sid. On 30/06/11 15:43, Gregoire Gentil wrote: Is your card labeled SDHC or SDXC? Can you give the specs of your card?
