Move root file system to usb drive?

[jozzy]

Hi,

i have root fs on external usb drive but sd card is still needed to boot (u-boot etc.)

Steps:

• create partition on usb drive
  
• copy root partition from sd card to usb drive with rsync
  
• check UUID of usb parition (blkid) and save it or remember
  
• built new initrd.img (https://github.com/longsleep/build-pine64-image) or download modified initrd.img from this post http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?t...89#pid9289 and overwrite existing one
  
• set param root in uEnv.txt (more info: https://github.com/longsleep/build-pine64-image/pull/17)
  
• thats all
