how to attach local drive

[Giordano]

Hi,
It is a RPI4 with 2GB ram. I put some system reply what I know below, but is it a compete system info query in moOde?

Anyway, now,
Step1, I flashed another sdcard, than scanned the local drive. I did not expanded the file system.
It scanned it all fine.
Step2, now the network drive scan is running.

Step3, I will reflesh the card, but before I scan any drive, I expand the file system.

Thanks!
JG

I forgot to mention power. Yes, I did tried with a lab psu to header with 5.5V. It did not make any difference.
It is not a power issue.

Step2 is positive also. Network drive scanned fine too.
Both local and nas folder is shown and browseable fine. After reboot too.

Now I do step3, refleshing the sdcard again, but now, before I scan the folders, I will expand the file system.

Now it is :

so now, I did step 3 and I have it working fine with expanded file system.

I do not know what was wrong. When it is wrong, it comes in the exact same position and it is repeatable until I wipe and reflash the sd card.
Than it does not matter if it is the local or nas folder. For sure it is not the material in the folders.
Another suspect I have, all these copies I did with dd under linux. Before I have used others also, I thought with same result, but I'm not sure any more. Maybe I should do a flash with win32disk imager or balnea, but I'm tired of it now. I start to use it as it is and see. I hope it does not come back. On the other hand, all the evening I went straight to update (after file system expand in the 3rd case), and did not play with it much.

Maybe tomorrow I will test with balnea, just to see, it would be good to know what is causing this, so it would be reliable than.

Thanks a lot,

Hello Giordano,
my recommendation: before a new image is installed on the SD card, the SD card should be formatted -> FAT 32 ...
Only then, for example with BalenaEtcher, transfer it to the new formatted SD card ...

Greetings and have a nice day ..

Hi,
Yes, I did that mistake too :-)
But since that, in win, I have used sdformatter, in linux now, I've removed all partitions, created one big, before dd the image to sdc.
I was tired yesterday, but I was curious and I want it reliable. I think this evening I will make a flashing with win32disk imager if I find another card (now I do not want to wipe the working card).

Balena Etcher eliminates the need to do anything about the format of a uSD card and it verifies the data on the card after it's been written. It's also available for Windows, OsX, and Linux. Sweet.

Using dd to write the image file to a uSD card is a terrible idea. I would use it only if no other method were available...and there's always a better method available.

Be sure you start with a good quality uSD card.
