#Apple pi baker v.15 iso#
This is strictly speaking not an ISO 9660 file – however most operating systems will be able to mount them as a “disk”. In its simplest form you use “dd” to make a raw IMG file, and just rename it to “.ISO”. Making an ISO file is relatively easy, however making a backup of a running server may come with some unexpected issues (since files are changing while the server is running).
#Apple pi baker v.15 update#
I have not tested auto-shrinking on v2.2.3 yet, but it clearly doesn’t work with v2.2.9, so you may need to consider this when releasing your next official update for APB. So it seems APBv2.2.9 might not be able to read partition sizes that are already shrunken from a different program. UPDATE: I have reverted back to APBv2.2.3, and now, cloning the gparted pre-shrunken partition drive DOES work again. Usually, this would work and give my a much smaller ISO file (BTW, I have never had any real problems with the creation of ISO FIles in APB, works great!), however with 2.2.9 I have now run into the problem of APB still creating an ISO file the same size as my hard drive, essentially, failing to read the shrunken ext4 partition like it used to do. What I would do is boot up gparted in linux, and shrink the raspberry pi 4 ext4 filesystem first, then boot up MacOS, and use AppliPi-Baker without the resize-option, and backup from there. Since this isn’t the first time I have had problems shrinking the partition in ApplePi-Baker, I have found a workaround that USUALLY (up until now with APBv2.2.9) worked for me. Press OK to ignore and risk data corruption. I chose to abort to eliminate risk of data corruption. If you want me to reinstall the beta and post some error logs I can.Ī while ago, using the beta version, I tried making a shrunken backup with ApplePi-Baker v2.2.9, in which it DID lead to an access violation error. I have since reverted to 2.2.3, and I no longer get the errors. So I realize now that I only got these errors when using AppliPi-Baker v2.2.9-beta. I know macOS 12.x introduced some Access Violation errors, which would not be relevant for you situation. I will go back to using ApplePi-Baker for restoration, and see if it triggers my memory of why I stopped using it for restoration in the first place.Ģ) Shrinking errors out: Hmmm … 500Gb of space for a 32Gb USB stick should be more than enough indeed. Maybe I had an error one too many times or something and decided to switch to Etcher. I can’t remember exactly why I picked up the habbit of restoring with balena etcher instead of ApplePi-Baker, but knowing myself, it had to be for some sort of reason that I can’t remember. This helps me be sure I am flashing the right ISO after modification, when juggling around multiple backup ISO’s.ġ) You should be able to restore ISO files with ApplePi-Baker as well …
#Apple pi baker v.15 zip file#
For me, I would like the ISO file to show the time stamp of when the ZIP file was created after extracting the iso. What I meant by this, is (from my memory) when decompressing the zip file (Sometimes I make file adjustments to the config.txt in the boot directory before imaging to usb), the ISO file doesn’t share the same time stamps as the zip file (unless I have been looking at the wrong tag), but instead shows the timestamp of when it was decompressed. When using compression (ZIP etc), date and timestamps should remain unaffected. It is awesome! You have single handedly saved my server from apocolyptic fails many of time! I’m not a rich man by any means but if you have a donation box I would buy you a beer for sure! That is awesome! Haha … I’m always surprised how folks use my application, since it started out as just a “dd” script frontend for Raspberry Pi purposes haha. So again, thank you so much for your inspirational reply, as I have been digging for a recommended solution for ages now. As I stated with my first post, you are kind of my last hope here in solving my issue, and my issue is right up your alley. Your response is honestly the most awesome reply that I have ever had from a developer, and TBH, it has granted me hope and pure happiness to know that you are not only a good developer, but really friendly and put such great effort into your replies.
Well hello My friend! I apologize for the late reply, but I kind of forgot about this until now, since I am back looking for a solution to my problem still. Due to the size of the reply, I had to move this comment to the forum.
