In this article we discussed the Debian port to uClibc, and we created an ext3 filesystem on a USBCard. Now, we need to transfer the filesystem from the tarball to the USBCard. First, let’s mount our newly created filesystem:
root@srv-1 / # mount -t ext3 /dev/sdc1 /mnt root@srv-1 / # mount /dev/hda3 on / type ext3 (rw,noatime) proc on /proc type proc (rw) none on /dev type devfs (rw) tmpfs on /var/lib/init.d type tmpfs (rw,mode=0644,size=2048k) /dev/hda1 on /boot type ext2 (rw,noatime) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw) mondo:/share on /share type nfs (rw,addr=10.50.100.72,addr=10.50.100.72) /dev/sdc1 on /mnt type ext3 (rw) root@srv-1 / # root@srv-1 / # ls -l /dev/sdc lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 33 Jul 24 03:18 /dev/sdc -> scsi/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/disc root@srv-1 / # root@srv-1 / # df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda3 114207364 58818188 49587704 55% / tmpfs 114207364 58818188 49587704 55% /var/lib/init.d /dev/hda1 194442 22217 162186 13% /boot tmpfs 452240 0 452240 0% /dev/shm mondo:/share 177265344 108778792 59482004 65% /share /dev/sdc1 217775 4127 202403 2% /mnt |
Looks good. 200 Megs free on mnt. Let’s extract the filesystem:
root@srv-1 / # root@srv-1 / # cd /mnt root@srv-1 mnt # tar -xjpf /home/u-1/usbcard/root_fs.i386.tar.bz2 root@srv-1 mnt # ls bin cdrom etc home lib mnt proc sbin usr boot dev floppy initrd lost+found opt root tmp var root@srv-1 mnt # |
Ok. We have a filesystem on our USBCard. In the next article we will compile a kernel for our new system.
