Hello, I found a source of the formatting errors in the original post. The ‘label’ is not generating for lsblk on the partition when running the blitz.datadrive.sh script.
line 645
loopdone=$(lsblk -o NAME,LABEL | grep -c BLITZDATA)line 685loopdone=$(lsblk -o NAME,LABEL | grep -c BLITZSTORAGE)and line 724loopdone=$(lsblk -o NAME,LABEL | grep -c BLITZTEMP)The loop times out because the label doesn’t show with lsblk. For some reason, calling parted will refresh it and the label will show correctly with lsblk. I added a line above each of these to call parted again and the errors cleared.
sudo parted -l@STEMr42 i added
sudo parted -lbelow each line and it also solved the error. kudos!@STEMr42 thanks added the
sudo parted -llines. Will be part of v1.7.1 RC1 release.thank you. tried efs4 format on raspi before, that seems to be the problem. fat32 format on Mac solves the problem and setup can proper format and use my ssd now.
Hi guys, i am not sure if I am at the right place with my issue, but the logfile on 1.6.2 told me so:
ERROR: formatting ext4 failed /dev/fd/63: line 2: The: command not found /dev/fd/63: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token

Is there a workaround to format my ssd for use it with the one big partition for the blockchain?
@jayrmotta thanks for the report. Adding this to the v1.6.1 update to take alook:
The
${uuid}seems to have the wrong value … seeing this from this log line:
