Re: How to copy USB

I'm sorry to hear that you had a hard time, the most installation went well :)

I would like to use another USB stick. So I simply copy and paste the folders and files into the new stick. But when I put the new stick in the piratebox, it doesn't start. How should I do?

Yes, simple recopy. Take care about the partitioning and filesystem. You need the partition formated as FAT32 (vFAT) . In addition the partitioning is tricky for windows user, because you actually see "one partition" but it might be directly formatted (under linux /dev/sda ) instead of a clean first partition ( /dev/sda1 ).
Piratebox tries to mount /dev/sda1 , but if the usb stick is directly formatted, /dev/sda is only found. That might cause the issue.

On a already installed box, login via SSH and a static IP adress on the client,
and run the command:

uci set fstab.ext1.device=/dev/sda
uci commit
reboot

That might fix a bootup-mounting problem.

If I redo the piratebox installation with my new stick, would the installation on the other stick still work?

No, because the PirateBox consists of parts on the device and on the USB stick. It might work but it is not guaranteed that it will.
