To prevent update problems i want to clone Nexcloudpi which is currently running on SD. The Clone will be done on an SD card like the one currently in use. I have used to do it Easus Patition Master but as soon I have inserted the SD the sistema doesn’t stand. Anyone can tel me how to do it.

Hi, first thought is… are you sure you actually made a copy. Then, confirm how you are mounting the disk as this can be done by label or uuid. When you add disks they end up assigned with an available identifier like `/dev/sdb` Which will change for each new thing plugged in and removed. So, that could be the issue right there. Easiest solution is to use the tool fstab to make sure you mount the disk by either label or uuid. uuid is the way to go because it is a unique sequence that confirms exactly which disk you are uniquely using. _You can write an fstab rule for each SD card to make sure they are mounted properly._ See: > [@Mounting an external drive using UUID and fstab | Linux admin junior](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/mounting-an-external-drive-using-uuid-and-fstab-linux-admin-junior/97757): > > Create a mountpoint for the external drive for ncdata sudo mkdir /media/ncp Find UUID of external drive ls -lh /dev/disk/by-uuid/ (Mine looks like this) total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Aug 11 09:10 29075e46-f0d4-44e2-a9e7-55ac02d6e6cc -\> …/…/mmcblk0p2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Aug 11 09:10 35e98a80-8895-41f4-93e7-39940a1fda70 -\> …/…/sda1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Aug 11 09:10 9304-D9FD -\> …/…/mmcblk0p1 To add a ligne to /etc/fstab sudo nano /etc/fstab add line for your drive (cop… ---
