Hey guys,
sorry for posting yet another issue…
I received my 375GB WD Pi Drive today and want to use it for different projects. Therefore I thought Berryboot was the way to go. I followed the wiki guide (https://github.com/nextcloud/nextcloudpi/wiki/How-to-install-NextCloudPi-on-an-external-drive-using-Berryboot.), which is great!
Unfortunately after copying the NCP-image to the drive and first booting it up, I get an timeout error.
First these lines are displayed: A start job is running for dev-disk-by\x2dlabel-boot.device and A start job is running for dev-serial1.device
After 90 seconds I see: Timed out waiting for device dev-disk-by\x2dlabel-boot.device
Any suggestions what is wrong here?
I’m using a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, NCP Image NextCloudPi_12-04-17_berryboot.img, Berryboot berryboot-20170527-pi2-pi3.zip
Sorry removed my question, as jonaskor has no system running, no usable shell.
I am going to test run that image again tomorrow to see if it boots correctly, it should find and use a partition with label “BOOT”.
I have the very same issue here with a RPi3 quadcore and a 375GB WD PiDrive.
I can not manage to setup NCP, neither via Berryboot nor via NOOBS-installer.
To eliminate some possible reasons, I tried…:
using different berryboot-versions (general-image “berryboot-20170527-pi2-pi3.zip” or wd-image “berryboot-20160130-r2.zip”
installation without network attached (-> no update) and with network (->auto update)
waiting for the drive’s background-formating to be finished (-> zzzZZzzz) before I went on with the installation
booting with or without the USB-stick (from where the NCP-image was loaded into Berryboot) attached
Thanks a lot in advance for your effort.
BTW: Terrific project!!
Thanks jonaskor. This confirms you have berryboot installed and operational. So must be image you are using.
Please check and post/confirm md5sum of downloaded image. It should be:
Adding datadev=iscsi didn’t change anything (I guess its not necessary to do this before first-boot of berryboot?)…
I formatted the micro-sd in Windows and the harddrive through berryboot… didn’t show any errors during format…
Any other idea what I could try? I still could just use the harddrive as external storage and do a normal ncp-config via micro-sd, but it would be awesome to have extra storage available for raspberry-projects in the future…
NCP looks for LABEL=boot to mount /dev/mcblk0p1 to /boot
It is why the line is or should be present and uncommented (no#) in fstab
Berryboot-console has no problem locating it. NCP does.
So maybe need to add LABEL=boot to /dev/mcblk0p1
You could also edit fstab and replace the LABEL=boot by PARTUUID=“7008e3e3-01”
Your screenshot is/must be something else, here’s what my terminal input and output looks like:
:~ $ cat /etc/fstab #proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
#PARTUUID=37665771-01
LABEL=boot /boot vfat defaults 0 2
#PARTUUID=37665771-02 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1 #a swapfile is not a swap partition, no line here #use dphys-swapfile swap[on|off] for that
On berryboot-console location of fstab looks to be /mnt/etc/fstab
so to edit use:
sudo nano /mnt/etc/fstab
to view:
cat /mnt/etc/fstab
In fstab anything with a # in front is read as a comment, not executed.
Thanks for hanging in there, forgot you only have very basic console. Nano not included and sudo not required as you’re already root.
Sorry to say, at a loss as to make further suggestions to find resolution to this issue.
Have you tried the whole process again, start from scratch to see if you can reproduce this error?
