totaldac D1 server

[Rufus McDufus]

The Cubox image files are nearly 16G in size unfortunately and I just don't happen to have any 16G micro SD cards or USB sticks. I might have to splash out on one!
If the OS has sshd or whatever configured it might just be straightforward to get in and change things anyhow. Not sure how thoroughly Vincent protects his Cubox setups - probably better than I'm hoping!

C'mon Rufus, just break the bank

A normal Cubox image is about a gig or so, but once you open it, and recreate it, the result is 16G. (The size of the card it was first installed to).

If I were you, I would get a very fast SD card (like Samsung Pro series, yes it makes a difference) and preferably 32G since not every 16 is made the same (some are a 'bit' smaller and cause you trouble)

cheers...

I agree - the actual OS should only be about a gigabyte or so but the totaldac image files are just under 16G in size uncompressed and Win32DiskImager barfs if I try and write it to an 8G card! I'm sure virtually all of that 16G is just empty filesystem but there's not much I can do about that. I might just splash out... Was hoping someone would *hrrrm* verify it works while I procrastinate (!)
Actually it might work if I just 'dd' to it as the trailing filesystem on the image will just get truncated (and corrected with an fsck perhaps).
