x77x Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Whats up everyone so Im somewhat new to the Wifi Nano and Command Prompt. So that being said I need help mounting a sd card on the Wifi Nano in Command Prompt or if there is a way to do on the Nano web interface. Any help would be great.

x77x Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 Okay so this is how you mount a sd card on the Nano login to the web ui. in the advanced setting tab scroll down to usb click on the arrow right beside the usb then click format sd card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoWake Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 This can't be right - and I'm definitely having problems generating consistent results. Surely, I don't have to format the SD card every time I want to mount it, right? I've got a 32GB uSD card in my nano - and have 'formatted' it multiple times - and, exactly ONE time, it then showed up (under the Resources window). Then I went about downloading and installing modules onto it - and then rebooted, and... it's gone. There's GOT to be a way to mount it (if not via the web console, then simply via the CLI with # mount /dev/sda1 or ... I think I must be missing something as it pertains to fstab (and the "Save Fstab" button in the web console). I'm happy to RTFM, if someone can point me in the right direction?? Happy Friday!

SnoWake Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Bizarre. Now, it has showed up two times: I pulled the uSD from the nano (after countless attempts to format it from the web console, and even trying my hand at this gist: https://gist.github.com/kbeflo/8c85c084e9c5ae86b3367716a463e793 (for the record - it didn't work for me either). I tried stepping through the commands, one at a time, by hand... and still no dice. So, finally, I pull the card, put it in a reader and plug it into the Mac. Mac declares it 'unreadable', opens disk utility, and allows me to format it (I selected MS-DOS (FAT), assuming this would provide the greatest interoperability). Returned the SD card to the Nano, powered it up, and... Voila! The SD card was there. I did a 'Save Fstab' in the console UI, and then proceded to download and install a handful (okay, perhaps two handfuls) of modules and installed them to the SD card successfully. Eventually powered down the device... and now, a few hours later - upon reboot... no /dev/sdb anymore?? I'm obviously doing something wrong - as this just can't be this hard! Thanks for any assistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiterose Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I have followed all of these similar stories.... I recently formatted a 32gb to MS-DOS, popped it into the nano and then went to Advanced, and format SD card. I'm not seeing a messag of failure or success. I try to download a module and I get the message that I need to install a SD card. I am goign to try another SD card, but is there anything else I need to do? Save the Fstab?

Juliuss Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Having same issue. Snd card formats from nano web interface but doesn’t show up when trying to install modules. Does anyone have a fix for this yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_pyrro Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Try not using the Nano web UI. Format it manually and make sure there's only a single, unnamed partition formatted to EXT4. There will be no official fix for any such problem since the Nano has reached EOL since a long time back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
