[SOLVED] TinyCore can't make more than one partition persistent

[msalvatori]

Hi, I have a VM running the TCL, with 2 Virtual Disks (sda and sdb.

When I install TCL on sdb with tc-install-GUI:

1- I take the core.gz form sda
2 - Choose ext4 in Formating Options
3 - In "Boot Options Reference List" I define "home=/dev/sda1 opt=/dev/sda2"
4 - In the extension Installation I pick the tce directory from sda1

Doesn't matter if I put a different directory on sda2, it never makes it persistent, and after installation I can see it.

I don't understand why.

[gerald_clark]

Try opt=sda2

[msalvatori]

Try opt=sda2

Still nothing.

It always return the same error "Invalid device specified. Skipping persistent OPT request!"

Show the output of "blkid".

Show the output of "blkid".

Seems like sda2 wasn't mounted. is there a way to make it mount during the installation proccess?

[curaga]

Was it formatted? The installer will only format the install partition.

Yes. Evertime I install, partitions are formatted.

How about the output of "fdisk -l".
Did you format the partitions manually ?

De disk was formatted by the tc-install wizard

Output of fdisk -l, just showed what was previously thought. The second partition was not created.

I believe the options you picked are [frugal] [Whole Disk].

That would wipe out the entire disk.

You should use [frugal] [Partition] instead if you wanna partition the disk yourself.

I was marking [USB-HDD], which prevents me from choosing [existing-partition].

I tried to pick [frugal][existing-partition] but there was no difference.
