Basic installation
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Installation is quite simple. Grab the current version of
|
|
Raspbian-Jessie-Lite and install it to an micro SDHC card. Configure
|
|
the system to taste.
|
|
|
|
Then attach an external usb-disk, and execute the following command:
|
|
|
|
sudo fdisk /dev/sda
|
|
|
|
If the disk is already partitioned, you should first delete all existing
|
|
partitions. Use the `p`-command (`print`) to check for existing partitions
|
|
and the `d`-command to delete them. Once the print-command does not show any
|
|
partitions anymore, create a new one with `n`. You can accept all defaults,
|
|
this will create a single partition which takes up all available
|
|
space. Leave the fdisk-program with the `w`-command (`write`). This
|
|
will erase all data already on the disk, so make sure you don't loose
|
|
any important data.
|
|
|
|
Next, you should format the partition, create a mount-point and
|
|
mount the partition:
|
|
|
|
sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1
|
|
sudo mkdir /data
|
|
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /data
|
|
|
|
All space is now available in the `/data`-directory. Since the mount
|
|
is temporary, you should now open the file `/etc/fstab` with your
|
|
favorite editor andd add the following line
|
|
|
|
/dev/sda2 /data ext4 user_xattr,noatime,acl 0 0
|
|
|
|
Reboot and check with the `df`-command that the external drive is
|
|
mounted and the space is available.
|
|
|
|
If you are a Linux-user you can automate all the above steps. For
|
|
details, see [auto_install.md](./auto_install.md
|
|
"Automatic installation of Raspbian to a hard-disk").
|
|
|
|
In case you just want to test the image-tank, you can also go
|
|
standalone without an HDD/SDD. In this case, you should at least
|
|
create the directory `/data` as described above.
