Hello everyone. I am using Mender-Convert to convert my .img file created using

dd if=/dev/sda of=golden.img bs=1M conv=fdatasync  
This is being saved to /mnt\_tmp, which is mounted to /dev/sdb

Here are the file systems as well.

tmpfs 810580 1128 809452 1% /run  
/dev/sda2 4046560 2525956 1294508 67% /  
tmpfs 4052892 0 4052892 0% /dev/shm  
tmpfs 5120 0 5120 0% /run/lock  
/dev/sdb 30787492 10488436 18709808 36% /mnt\_tmp  
/dev/sda4 4046560 24 3820440 1% /secondary  
/dev/sda3 996780 132576 795392 15% /boot  
/dev/sda5 1010124 24 941444 1% /data  
tmpfs 810576 4 810572 1% /run/user/1000

I am using the below command to start the conversion. This is all using the ext4 format.

MENDER\_ARTIFACT\_NAME=release-1 ./mender-convert   
–disk-image /mnt\_tmp/golden.img   
–config configs/generic\_x86-64\_hdd\_config   
–overlay input/rootfs\_overlay\_demo/

This command runs until it fails and outputs the following.

golden@goldenmenderimage:/mnt\_tmp$ cd mender-convert/  
golden@goldenmenderimage:/mnt\_tmp/mender-convert$ MENDER\_CONVERT\_LOCATION=${PWD}  
golden@goldenmenderimage:/mnt\_tmp/mender-convert$ echo $MENDER\_CONVERT\_LOCATION/  
/mnt\_tmp/mender-convert/  
golden@goldenmenderimage:/mnt\_tmp/mender-convert$ sudo MENDER\_ARTIFACT\_NAME=release-1 ./mender-convert   
–disk-image /mnt\_tmp/golden.img   
–config configs/generic\_x86-64\_hdd\_config   
–overlay input/rootfs\_overlay\_demo/

What is causing this to fail? I will be happy to provide any additional details that help to solve this issue.
