Title: mnttool - errors when used in another distro
Post by: jrm7262 on May 15, 2014, 06:05:15 AM

Hi,

    When using TinyCore I find the mount tool incredibly handy and thought I'd try to use in the Debian install I have.

Finally got it working, but there is one irritation left.

The mount tool works allowing me to mount and unmount media, but in the terminal window I get the following:

     fdisk: applet not found
     /usr/bin/getdisklabel: line 5: blkid: not found
     /usr/bin/getdisklabel: line 5: blkid: not found
     /usr/bin/getdisklabel: line 5: blkid: not found
     /usr/bin/getdisklabel: line 5: blkid: not found

I have fdisk installed, so I'm assuming mnttool is looking for it in a different location and that the 4 getdisklabel lines relate to fdisk not being found.

Any guidance greatly appreciated.


Kindest regards

The TC tools are built around busybox, so if you want to use them on another distro with GNU tools, you'll need to remove the useBusybox calls.

As a quick follow up:

Installing 'busybox-syslogd'
got rid of the 'getdisklabel' errors
and just leaves me with the 'fdisk: applet not found' error
This doesn't seem to affect mnttools functionality, all seems to be working correctly.
I shall now look into removing the 'useBusybox calls'
I'm assuming these are in the source code?

Kindest regards

In the helper shell scripts.

Hi: This topic came up when I searched for a fix of my problem:
I tried to create a microSD card with the a10Core to run Cubieboard1.
$ sudo ./mkSDcard sdc   worked fine at the beginning, but at the end there were the following
error message:
