I've been following with interest the thread on creating multiple partitions, but before I get there, I seem to have a stumbling block.
I've been using dd to copy the .hddimg onto an SDCard and booting from there. It works fine. The core-image-minimal image is about 32MB, copied onto a 16GB card. When 'boot' is mounted under Ubuntu 12.04, I see the 5 files totaling about 31 MB with about 1 MB free. But when I run 'parted' on /dev/mmcblk0, I see one 16GB partition using the fat16 file system. 'parted check' warns me that Partition 1 is 16.0GB, but the file system is 32.2MB. GParted basically throws up its hands in frustration and gives up. It seems to me that before I start trying to get a class created that will create the partitions automatically, I ought to first figure out how to create the partitions by hand, but I'm not convinced that the .hddimg is giving me a solid foundation to start with. Can anyone give me clues to the why/wherefore of the partition that the build system is creating? If I create my own partitions on the card first, won't the 'dd' operation simply wipe that out and replace it with the current situation? I'm using the Crownbay emgd layer, Denzil 7.0.1.
