Hi!
Previously I was using HDDRawCopy to burn nvOC image to USB key. After the image was copied, all I had to do, was to copy my prepared 1bash file to 9MB fat partition and the USB key was ready to go for any rig (Both rigs used the same image and the same settings).

Now I read that nvOC is more stable on HDD (or SSD) so I used HDDRawCopy to burn nvOC image to HDD.
I have edited 1bash in 9MB fat partition, but now the file wasn't automatically copied to /home/m1/1bash (Like it was on USB key).
My 1bash stayed on the /dev/sda1 partition (9MB fat partition).

Sorry I am a complete linux newbie so I have to ask this:
What command would copy my 1bash from /dev/sda1 partition to /home/m1/1bash?

Papampi, leenoox, how do you guys deploy settings to multiple rigs (I guess you use some different method)?


If you use the nvOC v0019-2.0 Shrinked Image, it should copy 1bash from 9mb and auto expand after first boot.


Code:
Image size: 11 GB
ZIP size: 3.8 GB
Auto Expand to full size on first boot
Fixed copy 1bash from fat partition to SSD/HDD on first boot

Thanks, I am downloading Shrinked Image.


Papampi, i tested the shrinked image and it works for me. Copy of 1bash from fat partition to HDD on first boot succeeded and nvOC works flawlessly.
Thanks for your help.

I have some problems with stability, but I think there is something wrong with my hardware. Will have to check the logs.
Which log should I look at if the rig freezes?

There is a very slim chance that you are having the problems I had a while back.  Mine was locking up on a regular basis, and as it turned out, the risers that plugged into the pcie slots over a couple of hours moved just enough to where it locked up.

The solution was to put 2 layers of electrical tape around the boards, which made them very snug and are now unable to move at all.  The tape has no other purpose other than to ensure the boards dont move around.

This was suggested on Youtube, and it worked for me.  Again, slim chance you are having the same problems...  Logs, no idea but would think hard lockups (if that is what it is), wouldn't be logged.  Smiley
