[Server-devel] sdcard for /opt and /library on xo 1.5

[Tim Moody]

I have been around the block with a 128G micro sdcard allegedly from
Sandisk.  I made various attempts at creating two partitions and formatting
them ext4, some of which progressed at the rate of 10G/hour.

 

I finally used dd to write /dev/zero to the entire device, which took almost
24 hours.

 

After that parted mklabel msdos and mkpart worked fine and mkfs.ext4 also
worked fine in a couple of minutes.
