And that's why it's necessary to point this out to someone who obviously bought a 512 GB fake TF card and refuses to check it (and now ask to do the impossible: Access OS images beyond the real capacity of his fake card). The very same person complains in other posts that he has a bricked board and most obviously the only reason is that his other cards are also faulty.
The reason why I insisted on this is that it's useless to proceed with software issues if you don't rule out simple hardware issues first.
BTW: Both longsleep and I know how to boot multiple OS installations on the same card. Good bye.
i have never seen the "df -H" fail in telling me the correct card size. as an example, i had a MicroSD i used for one of the linux images @longsleep that was 64 GB. of course, after first imaging the card with "dd," and booting from it, "df -H" showed it as only about 4 GB, the image size on the card. i then ran @longsleep's "resize_rootfs.sh" script, ran "df -H" again after a restart, and boom, 64 GB at my disposal.
and even if "df -H" did not work, i still pointed out two other examples from the first step on card imaging on the wiki itself that showed how to verify cards. you don't seem so ready to jump on the snark horse about that, eh? and yes, i ran all my 64 GB MicroSD's through F3 and they are what they say they are.
so, in this and other responses, you continue to highjack this thread's topic to talk about your (non-) issue of fake MicroSD's, an issue, as i've pointed out, has been asked and answered in the wiki. you also claim to know how to put multiple OS's on one MicroSD and switch boot between them. so rather than continuing to highjack this post and being needlessly rude to this post thread's original author, @yourhighpriestess, how about you just answer this person's original question. write out, in a nice, polite, step-by-step how-to, your info, which is what these forums are supposed to be about: the sharing of info that will help, not insult, everyone here.
