viperius Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Hi there everyone, its been a while since I used my NANO and I have had a few challenges getting it working. The main one I am having problems with is getting the NANO to recognise and initialise an SD card. Using Firmware 2.7.0 I have a 8gb SD card I put in the NANO and boot. if I go into the UI then I can format the SD card but it does not show up. I have tried a couple of SD cards in different sizes and I have also deleted any existing partitions before starting. I am open to any suggestions Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_pyrro Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Try using gparted (on some Linux based distro) to prepare the card before using it with the Nano. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viperius Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 That looks fine....formatted ext4 and when I look on my raspberry PI it is mounted as /dev/sdc and I can see it in the file manager so I would say all looks good but its still ne showing up on the nano.....

dark_pyrro Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 There have been issues over time "historically" regarding Micro SD card support for the Nano. I've never had any issues myself though and I have most likely used 10+ different card with different sizes. You could check logread/dmesg and try to find something that could tell what might be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viperius Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 I cant see anything obvious. Maybe its time for an upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_pyrro Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 What's the content of fstab? (Should be possible to view in the Web UI of the Nano in the Advanced menu) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viperius Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 Things just got weirder. When I booted up the NANO and looked in the resources and I can see the SD card.... I went to modules and tried to install something onto it and I didn't get the install option and when I go back to resources the SD card is no longer there.

dark_pyrro Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Where did that swap partition come from? It should only be one partition on the card. Also, try to set "fstype" to auto (but I guess that shouldn't change things). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
