Hello everyone, i have been using the mender-convert 2.0 for my RPI4 for a while now with no problems. but now that i have pi’s with different sd-cards sizes, i wanted to bump up my image from the standaard `MENDER_STORAGE_TOTAL_SIZE_MB="8192"` to `MENDER_STORAGE_TOTAL_SIZE_MB="15258"` (this is also the only variable changed from the standaard configs/mender\_convert\_config) when using the same image to convert to an mender.image and writing it on de sd-card, booting the device, it doens some resizing, reboots, and falls into a kernel panic. ![2020_03_10 14_14 Office Lens](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/mender/original/1X/ef4c35f6f6cabc61b3231daed5c9d2a93a5a4996.jpeg) when looking back into the sd-card, there seem to be problems with the /boot partitions > sudo fdisk -l | grep /dev/sdb > Disk /dev/sdb: 29.45 GiB, 31609323520 bytes, 61736960 sectors > /dev/sdb1 \* 16384 540671 524288 256M c W95 FAT32 (LBA) > /dev/sdb2 540672 15482879 14942208 7.1G 83 Linux > /dev/sdb3 15482880 30425087 14942208 7.1G 83 Linux > /dev/sdb4 30425088 30687231 262144 128M 83 Linux > lsblk -l | grep sdb > sdb 8:16 1 29.4G 0 disk > sdb1 8:17 1 256M 0 part > sdb2 8:18 1 7.1G 0 part /media/gene/fae989dd-8728-4209-af7d-000cda8ead43 > sdb3 8:19 1 7.1G 0 part /media/gene/fae989dd-8728-4209-af7d-000cda8ead431 > sdb4 8:20 1 128M 0 part /media/gene/2b986dc8-3a6f-429a-a6d2-658ceee47eb4 i can still mount the /boot manually, but it raised some eyebrows why it was not doing it automatically. I Made some pastebin’s in case i forgot to mention something else Mender-convert\_config [https://pastebin.com/u2vH9i4t](https://pastebin.com/u2vH9i4t) Mender-convert-commands [https://pastebin.com/sapmZtwR](https://pastebin.com/sapmZtwR) Thanks in advance! ---

update: so i got an working RPI4 by removing `--config my_mender_convert_conf` line inside of my command ↓ > MENDER\_ARTIFACT\_NAME=2020-03-11-raspbian-buster-lite\_raspbian4 ./docker-mender-convert > –disk-image input/2020-02-24\_Raspbian-buster-lite-sportoase.img > –config configs/raspberrypi4\_config > –overlay rootfs\_overlay\_demo/ mender-convert then makes use of the default settings, i however changed the MENDER\_STORAGE\_TOTAL\_SIZE\_MB to 15258 there. i dont know if this has to do with the fact that my ‘my\_mender\_convert\_conf’ was in the /mende-convert and not in the /mender-convert/configs Cheers Gene ---

Can you share the content of `my_mender_convert_conf`. The location of it should not matter much as long as the path is correct when provided to `mender-convert` ---

Hello @mirzak the pastebin contains the mender\_convert\_conf, its the same file Mender-convert\_config [https://pastebin.com/u2vH9i4t](https://pastebin.com/u2vH9i4t) ---

The idea with the configuration files is that you would not make a full copy of the original file, and instead it should only contain the variables that you would like to override. Could you try creating a file `mender_convert_conf` that only contains, ```auto MENDER_STORAGE_TOTAL_SIZE_MB="15258" ``` And add it again to your `mender-convert` execution. ---

thanks for the heads up, this also makes much more sense
