I was able to recreate the issue of multiple SD card image files being created with only *one *click of the Create SD Card image. I removed pigz.tcz and then accessed pCP via my iPad.
1. I clicked "create" button and I see "Writing -2028mb image" and I see a series of dots that appear which I assume shows progress is occurring. 2. I wait and the iPad screen turns off due to inactivity after a minute. 3. After a while, I press the home button to wake up the iPad. 4. The Safari page instead of showing pCP and the status display, I see the message "Safari cannot open the page because the network connection was lost." I am not sure why it would say that as I have good Wifi signal as the access point is in the same room. I never get this message when the main pCP page, LMS pages are displayed and the iPad comes back from standby. 5. I tap refresh; the symbol with the circle with a clockwise arrow in Safari. 6. The pCP page reappears showing the status with "Writing -2028mb image" However, I notice the dots have started over. In other words, I do not that additional progress has occurred since the screen went into standby. 7. This time I touch the screen every ~30 seconds so it will not go into standby. I see the dots appear across the screen. The process takes 15 minutes. When it is complete I see pCP displaying information of 2 partitions, the size of each partition, LBA start, LBA end. The disk size says 30528 mb. 8. Using my Windows 10 computer I go to the directory where the images are stored and I see 2 new files with the same size. Yet I clicked on the "create" button only once. The time stamp on each file is 3 minutes apart. The only thing I makes sense to me, is that when I taped on the refresh symbol it resulted in another backup process. Perhaps in parallel? I hope this helps if the creators are concerned about this. The process does appear to work, it is just not what I expected. (However, I have not validated the images by putting them on a second card and then using it to boot-up the 3B+.) The other observation is pigz.tcz really speeds up the process; took less than 5 minutes. If you need more information, please let me know. Thanks to all the people that develop, maintain, and help people with pCP!!
