"parted: invalid token: primary Error: Expecting a file system type." 2 images

[Conan179]

Hello@all

My Sd card from my pi are broken, with tet disk i can make 2 image.dd files from the /boot and the ext4 partion from the Card. The main card was 64gb large, now I want to reduce the size of the 64gb image file. How do I do that? A simple ./pishrink.sh -vd /mnt/f/assas/pishrink.bin does nothing.

Can anybody help me, please? Greetz Conan

Remove quotes in this line around $parttype

[Conan179]

No canches, same error

[framps]

Hm ... add following line set -x before the parted call and set +x after the parted call to see the actual command executed.

[Conan179]

The filesystem on /dev/loop3 is now 3240611 (4k) blocks long.

man parted gives

mkpart part-type [fs-type] start end
                     Make a part-type partition for filesystem fs-type (if specified), beginning at start and ending at end (by
                     default in megabytes).  part-type should be one of "primary", "logical", or "extended".

and the parted command shown complies to this syntax. You get various hits when you search for parted: invalid token: primary. But I don't get an idea what's the root cause for your error message :disappointed:

[Conan179]

I think, the probem is. My image are not the full card but only the 2nd partition from the SD card. The script assumes, however, that the image has two patition, the / boot and / formatted with ext4, where all the data is.

[Drewsif]

Correct, you do need a full image of the sd card not just a single partition. I'm going to leave this ticket open to try and detect this case and print a better error message

Hello. thanks for your great tool @Drewsif.

I'm facing the exact same problem. Any chance you would add this feature to shrink only a IMG of a partition ? thxs in advance.
