rootzoll
putting this in bug report? BUT, since the hurricane passed though it has corrupted my main drive......
(didnt know where to put this since the issue format has changed since i bugged about the x86 stuff)
model name : AMD A6-7400K Radeon R5, 6 Compute Cores 2C+4G /dev/sda main "blitz" system hard drive 28Gb /dev/sdb "node" hard drive with blockchain 2Tb
hey rootz.... if i reinstall the amd64 image on the main drive, the HD with the "node" info should be seen after being added before/after reboot?
or do i reinstall with the node HD in the system and it should see it and do a recovery?
OR (last one) do i copy something off the node hd to my local system before reinstalling with the node HD and the main blitz hd... main drive is there as well as the system (i can log in) but i do not have full scp etc. all, well most, of the scripts are corrupt to do anything via ssh.
So in this setup you would reinstall amd64 image on the system hard drive and it should on start recognize the hard drive with blockchain and offer you the recover option. But this is still quite experimental ... RaspiBlitz v1.12.0 (the next release after 1.11.3) plans tp address/support better multiple HDD setups for laptops and VMs.
If you can wait until Dec waiting for RaspiBlitz v1.12.0 could be an option.
cool looks like 1.12 is up and out (saw changes.md) now can i export my current raspiblitz setup and leave the original HD alone and just install 1.12 then import (via the thumbdrive) my previous raspibltz?
(yea mines been broken a while lol)
for the official release of v1.12.0 - check download section after the weekend: https://docs.raspiblitz.org/docs/setup/software-setup/download
The image linked there is only for RaspberryPi .. for x86 you still need to install a basic debian12 and then run the build script manually.
ok, i've tried installing ubuntu server twice... (not a problem) following this page for amd64 to build the image https://github.com/raspiblitz/raspiblitz/blob/dev/alternative.platforms/README.md#amd64-image not a problem.. but i end up with
nuggetnode:~$ sudo bash build_sdcard.sh -f false -b dev -d headless -t false -w off

even after editing the build_sdcard.sh for the error 'ISO-8859-1' with

i only have the Fail on the base image not detected

hmmmm....
lol
think i got it...
' if grep -q 'Debian' /etc/os-release; then if [ -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/raspi.list ] && [ "${cpu}" = aarch64 ]; then baseimage="raspios_arm64" else baseimage="debian" fi elif grep -q 'Ubuntu' /etc/os-release; then baseimage="ubuntu" else echo "\n# FAIL: Base image cannot be detected or is not supported." cat /etc/os-release 2>/dev/null uname -a exit 1 fi echo "baseimage=${baseimage}"
'
either way i will just go with netinstall debian, and im PRETTY sure its because im using ubuntu (ubuntu is my headache) and not straight debian LOL
(just posting this here into the thread if someone else wants to throw raspiblitz on something bigger than a RPI for reference)
bbiab to edit after trying debian 13.1.0 install and raspi setup on there, yea....
"Changing Data Layout of HDD/SSD/NVMe"
netinstall debian, clone repo, then run 'sudo bash build_sdcard.sh -f false -b dev -d headless -t false -w off'
running this process "netinstall debian, clone repo, then run 'sudo bash build_sdcard.sh -f false -b dev -d headless -t false -w off'" if it crashes or power loss during recovery of the previous Hd you have to repeat the whole process, soooooo how do i use the tarball from the migration menu option on the new rebuilt box?
