Proper command-line method for shutting down the system

[cratreit]

I’m very new to Core Linux and trying to boot it with the following parameters:

Code: [Select]

kernel /core_17/vmlinuz64 home=2002-D99D
initrd /core_17/corepure64.gz
Will the system automatically create the home directory, or do I need to create it beforehand?
The drive is formatted with exFAT, by the way.

What is the proper command to shut the system down?
The exittc command doesn’t seem to do anything. 🙂

What is the proper command to shut the system down?

sudo exitcheck.sh

or

sudo exitcheck.sh reboot

And after all the trial and error, I finally discovered that only these partition types are supported (from the FAQ):

Note: Drive partition types supported by Tiny Core base are: ext2, ext3, ext4, fat32.

Does this rule still apply?

Hi cratreit
Welcome to the forum.

Unless you make some modifications, yes, those are the only
filesystems supported while booting.

Why? What is it you want to do?

You could also add nfs, if you treat that like a file system.

What is it you want to do?

I’d like to add two utilities to the distro (lf and sfk). I initially thought this could be done by placing them in ~/.local/bin and relying on the persistent home feature.
However, the system refuses to use an exFAT (or FAT/FAT16) partition for this purpose.

Hi cratreit
You might need to install exfatprogs, exfat-utils, and/or fuse-exfat.

[cratreit]

The system mounts the exFAT partition, but it doesn’t allow it to be used for a persistent home. The same limitation applies to standard FAT/FAT16 filesystems.

Hi cratreit
You are trying to force a square peg into a round hole.

ExFAT is not a native Linux filesystem.
Use ext4 instead.

If you are trying to share data between Windows and Linux, create
a separate data partition for that.
