Hi all,
Problem with my Pi4b after resizing the partition.
(I read the Sticky)
I wanted to create a backup with dd but for some reason didn't worked out. Suspected reason: target backup SD is just a fraction smaller than the source.
Use Parted to shrink the partition on the source (yes, yes, I know...stupid..) And wanted to see if it would boot....short answer: No.
I got to this message:
I finally managed to figure out to get the current PARTUUID's:
So I changed the "rootfs" PARTUUID in the file cmdline.txt and I got a little further in booting from this SD-Card.
But, I get stuck in:
During boot up, I do see this:
I have access to my home directory, but I can't mount a USB drive for reason I don't know, so I can't get my docker data off of the SD. Plugging it in an SD-card reader on my Mac or Debian (VM), gives me different files I can't do anything with.
I've seen that my fstab file is completely empty.
Anybody has suggestions on how I can proceed?
I don't mind starting over, but would be nice if I can get my docker data off of the SD first![:)]( "Smile")
Thank you all in advance.
