Pine A64: - Move the filesystem to a USB Drive

[DrewG]

Hi,

System:
DietPi v148 | Pine A64+ 1GB Board (e.g. in my case a fresh installation)
Micro SD-Card: - SanDisk microSDHC Ultra 4GB
USB Device: - SanDisk Cruzer Fit 8GB USB-Stick 2.0
Hint: - Don't use this crappy SD-Card or USB Flash drive - I do this only for my tests ! !
...

Thanks for the info guys. I'll give it a try. I've had to step away from this project right now, but I'll be sure to give this a look when I have more free time.

Thanks again

Hi,

I've been able to get it to work on RPis in the past and I'd really like to get this working on my Pine so I can prolong the life on the SD card.

Technically it is the same as my tutorial for Odroid device you can found here.

But, as @maxtox wrote, you have to edit uEnv.txt.

Hi k-plan,

I got your tutorial to work thank you so much. I think the problem I had before was I missed setting the USB to MBR!

Thanks again!. It was super easy to follow...as long as you follow ALL of the instructions
