- | Installing the system on a SATA drive is not straightforward, mainly for one reason : the LIME(2) cannot boot from the SATA port. To make it work, you need to leave a minimal system on the SD card (the ''/boot'' folder) so the bootloader can find a kernel to boot, then the kernel will seek the rest of the system on the SATA drive. | + | [12:51] <franciliensRendsLArgent> yhargla: rends l'argent |

- | Let's start with a working cube, with the system running from the SD card and a SATA drive plugged. You are logged in as root on your cube. | + | [12:51] -abitbolg4458- You will be able to talk on #franciliens.net in 240 seconds. / Vous pourrez parler sur #franciliens.net dans 240 secondes. |

- | ====== Partitionning and formatting ====== | + | [12:52] <@yhargla> https://wiki.labriqueinter.net/doku.php?id=howto:install_sata |
- | + | ||
- | First, you have to prepare the drive. You will need at least one partition for the system (the ''root'' or ''/'' partition), and possibly others for folders containing user data, such as ''/home'' and ''/var''. Let's keep it simple for now, with everything (except ''/boot'' of course) on the same partition. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | to create a partition on your disk, run ''cfdisk /dev/sda''. The tool should be self explanatory - you should remove any existing partition, then create a //primary partition// with the number //1//. When asking for the start and end of the partition, just use the default values and the partition will fill the whole disk. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Now, you should have a file called ''/dev/sda1'' | + | |
- | + | ||
- | To format your new partition, just run ''mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1'' | + | |
- | + | ||
- | ====== Changing the boot configuration ====== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | When booting, your cube needs to know where to find the root partition. To do so, edit the file ''/etc/default/flash-kernel'' | + | |
- | + | ||
- | in this file, replace ''root=/dev/mmcblk0p1'' ("the root partition is on the SD card") with ''root=/dev/sda1'' ("the root partition is on the drive"). | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Now, run ''flash-kernel''. This will regenerate the ''/boot/boot.scr'' file. You may open this file and check if the line ''root=/dev/sda1'' is in there. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | You will also need to modify ''/etc/fstab'' to match the desired configuration: | + | |
- | + | ||
- | <code> | + | |
- | /dev/mmcblk0p1 /boot ext4 defaults 0 1 # /boot on the SD card | + | |
- | /dev/sda1 / ext4 defaults 0 1 # root filesystem on the SATA drive | + | |
- | </code> | + | |
