Raspi-config issue : cannot Expand file, error, not a SD card

Gantz

Hi, im a newbie for linux.
As i had pishrink image down and write into sd card via terminal. Once i boot the pi, it run fine but it cannot log into emulation station

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Boost::filesystem::filesystem_error'
what(): boost::filesystem:status: No space left on device: "/home/pi/.emlationstation"
aborted
-bash:/home/pi/.profile: No space lefdt on device
pi@retropie:$ df -h

tmpfs           83M      0     83M    0%     /run/user1000

there is no /dev/root on Filesystem
only dev/mmcblk0p1 is mount on boot

then i get into raspi-config and try to expand file. I got error, "not a SD card".

Please advice to fix the issue.
Thanks

@Gantz Reflash the image on the card. Something is very wrong with your file system.

Gantz

@AlexMurphy thank for your comment. I have try to edit my post above but the system wounld let me due to my post was reports as spam

here my df -h command

tmpfs           83M      0     83M    0%     /run/user1000

as my understand, there is suppose to be a /dev/root in the system. how do i mount it?

@Gantz I'm running ROMs from a USB drive, but here's an example of a "good" or "working" file system. I'm running RetroPie 4.1.21 on the latest version of Raspbian.

@Gantz In terminal type sudo mount -o remount,rw / but really this doesn't seem to be your issue as it says root is mounted just not seeing the file system at /dev/root.I would also be concerned that it states 100% use.

Gantz

@AlexMurphy is any possibility for 100% used from pishrink? i have shrink image file from 32GB to 27GB to fit into Kingston class 10 Micro sd.

actually, my first boot. there is no device is mount.
My pi is be able to boot but cannot get into emulation system and raspi-config to expand file system as well.
then, i google to find how to mount boot device, /dev/mmcblk0p1.
after that, It was mounted and raspi-config is work but still get the error,"is not an SD card" from expand file system. then i df -h command as above.

I have mounted image via ubuntu. It seem to be fine. as my understand, My image is fine but Im so new for linux system. it might be something that i missed or some mistake that i have no idea how to look.

@obsidianspider said in Raspi-config issue : cannot Expand file, error, not a SD card:

29G 3.2G 25G 12% /

$ uname -a
Linux retropie 4.4.32v7-aufs #1 SMP Fri Nov 18 23:17:35 CET 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux

i believe that my issue is, how to get /dev/root working.
Thank you for your comment.

Gantz

I have running a disk check, and i got this

pi@retropie$ /sbin/fsck
fsck from util-linux 2.25.2
e2fsck 1.42.12 (29 Aug 2014)
fsck.ext4: Permission denied while trying to open /dev/mmcblk0p2
You must have r/w access to the filesystem or be root

and i also try to edit on my fstab as follow script

proc           /proc proc defaults          0  0
/dev/mmcblk0p1 /boot vfat defaults          0  2
/dev/mmcblk0p2 /     ext4 defaults,noatime  0  1

after reboot, the result is still the same

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Boost::filesystem::filesystem_error'
what(): boost::filesystem:status: No space left on device: "/home/pi/.emlationstation"
aborted
-bash:/home/pi/.profile: No space left on device

if anybody have a clue, please guide me the right direction. I would be appreciated.

AlexMurphy

@Gantz did you try the comnand I suggested? This remounts the root partition with read/write priviliges.

BuZz

you cant run a disk check from non root when it is mounted.

Are you running berryboot ?

Your partition is full - which image did you shrink ? You are out of space. That's the only issue.

Gantz

@BuZz yes. i'm using berry boot. I got the original image from someone. But the image size is bigger than my sd card. So, i shrunk the image.

here is i did shrunk the image via ubuntu again.
