Image file /storage/emulated/0/linux.img are size 5000. If the partition (sdcard) is formatted in FAT, then maximum size of the image file should not exceed 4095 MB.

from linuxdeploy.

I have only 32GB internal storage, mount said, that I have only rootfs on / and nothing else for /sdcard, but:

/dev/fuse /storage/emulated/0 fuse rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,allow_other...

Nevertheless, I've changed image size to 3.5GB, just started new setup.

Here is other strange fail:
[23:09:04] mkdir: can't create directory 'etc': I/O error
[23:09:04] fail

PS I've got Asus Transformer TF300T with Android 4.2.1.

from linuxdeploy.

I checked on my device, Arch Linux installation is correct. It looks like a physical problem with memory.

from linuxdeploy.

I've used LinuxOnAndroid with Arch image and it works good, but there is an outdated Arch and it's a problem to update it because of updated libc, pacman and systemd...

PS Now i'm trying install Ubuntu Precise...

from linuxdeploy.

I caught two different failures (I've tried setup it three times) even with Ubuntu (precise and quantal):

First:
[23:31:47] + debootstrap --no-check-gpg --arch armel --foreign --extractor=ar --include=locales,openssh-server,sudo,man-db precise /data/local/linux/mnt http://ports.ubuntu.com
[23:31:47] I: Retrieving InRelease
[23:31:48] I: Failed to retrieve InRelease
[23:31:48] I: Retrieving Release
[23:31:48] E: Failed getting release file http://ports.ubuntu.com/dists/precise/Release

Second:
[23:58:04] mkdir: can't create directory '/data/local/linux/mnt/debootstrap': I/O error
[23:58:04] /data/local/linux/bin/debootstrap: line 511: can't create /data/local/linux/mnt/debootstrap/debootstrap.log: I/O error

Very similar to bad blocks on memory card (storage). For test mount Linux image and try command:

dd if=/dev/urandom of=/data/local/linux/mnt/test bs=1024000 count=100

from linuxdeploy.

Any ideas how to check it under Android? As I said before - there is no SD-card, however 32GB internal storage.

from linuxdeploy.

I cannot mount Linux image by hands: device or resource is busy.
I've tried fill storage from /dev/zero:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/sdcard/qq.iso bs=1024000 count=10000

10237403136 bytes transferred in 14207.731 secs (720551 bytes/sec)

dd if=/dev/zero of=/sdcard/qq2.iso bs=1024000 count=10000

10239131648 bytes transferred in 2053.329 secs (4986600 bytes/sec)

dd if=/dev/zero of=/sdcard/qq3.iso bs=1024000 count=10000

4188737536 bytes transferred in 3494.050 secs (1198820 bytes/sec)

I don't know why dd stops on 10237403136 and 10239131648 even I required 1024000000
But there are no I/O errors.

That is strange! I've mounted loop image to /data/local/linux/mnt/ and after ~1-2 minutes of dd'ing Android freezed! Any ideas?

from linuxdeploy.

I was partly setting up Arch by LinuxDeploy, than it failed and than I tried next:

1. Mount .img and continue installation by pacman - android freezes on 4th package.
2. Move .img to SD card and mount it from there - after some installed packages android rebooted itself...
   Thus, I think there is no connection to bad blocks of storage. Now I think about RAM corruption or kernel bug :(
