student Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 I need help getting my sd card to work so i can download more than 2-3 modules on the pineapple nano. I own two wifi pineapple Nanos, both are running 2.6.2, I have 4 different sd cards (lexar 4gb, san disk 16gb, san disk 32gb and a delkin 64gb) I have a laptop running MAC OS Catalina, and Windows 10 through bootcamp, I also have a pc running windows 10 and kali linux. I have been unable to mount an sd card to either pineapple Nano. I have tried to format button in pineAP GUI (says successful but does not mount, the SD.org formatting application but does not work, and using linux command line to format usb disk. I was able to use Kali Linux to format the disk to EXT4. but when I use fdisk -l on the pineapple, I get no mass storage listed, Im not sure what I should do next. I followed a lot of similar troubleshoots in the forums about nano sd cards but so far, none have worked for me. Im starting to think Im special and not in a good way.

Viceroy Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Looks like you don't have any partitions on your sd card. That's why fdisk -l is coming up empty. You could also run the following to see partition info. root@Pineapple:~# block info You can make partitions with the fdisk command from your ssh console root@Pineapple:~# fdisk /dev/sda That should bring you to an interactive fdisk console where you can add some partitions. Probably one for your ext4 and a smaller one for a swap. Then you can use the following to set up your new partitions mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1 mkswap /dev/sda2 After all that I would run that block command again to see your progress root@Pineapple:~# block info /dev/mtdblock2: UUID="aaa5c26b-1a2d7b95-b821284f-fb82c9e4" VERSION="4.0" MOUNT="/rom" TYPE="squashfs" /dev/mtdblock3: MOUNT="/overlay" TYPE="jffs2" /dev/sda1: UUID="080f6ca2-3e2d-4427-88c4-775b1a51da16" VERSION="1.0" MOUNT="/sd" TYPE="ext4" /dev/sda2: VERSION="1" TYPE="swap" Then maybe another to see what the config should sort of look like. root@Pineapple:~# block detect config 'global' option anon_swap '0' option anon_mount '0' option auto_swap '1' option auto_mount '1' option delay_root '5' option check_fs '0' config 'mount' option target '/sd' option uuid '080f6ca2-3e2d-4427-88c4-775b1a51da16' option enabled '0' config 'swap' option device '/dev/sda2' option enabled '0' That should at least point you in the right direction. Hopefully this helps someone. This is by no means all inclusive... and I definitely didn't spend all day working on it. ; ) Check out https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/storage/fstab for more info.
