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
- sda6
- sda7
- sda8
- 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'
- 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/motd in your partition to tell people which partition they're on
