Disk partitions in use on the Raspberry Pi:
- sda1 - Fedora 13 with a lot of experiments ;-) - ctyler and paulw
- sda2 - Fedora 13 experiments - ctyler
- sda3
- sda5 - Configuring X Windows - Tommy Cho Long Chor (toomy)
- sda6 - Optimizing Boot - Jordan Huestis (jbhuestis)
- sda7
- sda8 - Testing Alternate Browsers - Dayu Guan (Dguan)
- sda9
If you want a disk partition, claim it by filling in the list above.
Recommendation for copying partitions:
- Claim a partition above
- Make sure it's empty!
- Format it with
mkfs -t ext3 /dev/PARTITIONID - Mount it:
mnt /dev/PARTITIONID /mnt/whatever - Copy it:
cp -x -R -p -v / /mnt/whatever- The -x prevents the copy from proceeding to other filesystems
- Copy /boot/cmdline.txt to
/boot/cmdline.PARTITIONID - Edit /boot/cmdline.PARTITIONID to say:
root=/dev/PARTITIONID - Whenever you want to boot from your partition:
cp /boot/cmdline.PARTITIONID /boot/cmdline.txt - Change
/etc/motdin your partition to tell people which partition they're on
