Fedora 21/rawhide notes

Install MLO and u-boot on non-vfat image: WARNING: BETA NOTES

sudo dd if=MLO           \
        of=/dev/sdz      \
      conv=fsync,notrunc \
      seek=128k

sudo dd if=u-boot.img    \
        of=/dev/sdz      \
     count=2             \
      seek=1             \
      conv=notrunc,fsync \
        bs=384k

Steps to resize F20 rootfs

• download the f20 minimal image

• Decompress

• Extract the rootfs

dd if=Fedora-Minimal-VFAT-armhfp-20-1-sda.raw \
   of=f20-minimal-rootfs.ext4

• Shrink the rootfs image file

e2fsck    -f  f20-minimal-rootfs.ext4 &> /dev/null
resize2fs -M  f20-minimal-rootfs.ext4

Tips & Tricks

You can monitor the DD command in an easy one liner.

dd if=/dev/sdc3 of=f20-minimal-rootfs.ext4-ORIG &   while ps -p $! ; do kill -USR1 $! ; sleep 5 ; done

This signals the DD process to spew progress info every five seconds. Especially useful on very slow sdcard, or large data transfers.
