Mender convert incorrect partition detection

General Discussions

I’ve tried converting a raw disk image created using dd from a sdcard of a orange-pi running (almost stock) armbian but mender-convert-extract seems to think it’s a single fat32 filesystem:

$ MENDER_ARTIFACT_NAME=convert-1 ./mender-convert    --disk-image input/central.img    --config configs/raspberrypi3_config    --overlay rootfs_overlay_demo/
Running mender-convert-extract: --disk-image input/central.img --config configs/raspberrypi3_config --overlay rootfs_overlay_demo/

Tried using both docker and non docker versions of the readme but got the same output.

diskutil output

/dev/disk6 (external, physical):

Can you share output of fdisk -l input/central.img? This represents more what the mender-convert tool is looking at.

Makes sense yeah

$ fdisk -l input/central.img

Curious if you got it working on orange-pi with Armbian?

6

What do you mean?

7

Just wondering if you have any further issues or if everything is working as expected?

Ah, I see. We’ve been trying to get a PoC running with OrangePi Zero since the convert tool doesn’t appear to support extented partitions, and that’s what our armbian install uses.
