@loboris, not sure if you are getting tired of hearing from me, not sure if you want to hear about all the little bugs or repeats of same bugs...let me know what you would like to hear about...and where... specific image problems under their headings or all in Debian where you usually seem to hang out?

While I'm here... I haven't seen anybody else talking about install to emmc in a while besides me...not sure why I'm having problems...here is latest attempt...(Immediatly prior to this, ubuntu wily installed to emmc (no btrfs) perfectly.)

orangepi@nohostname:/usr/local/bin> sudo ./install_to_emmc btrfs
bla bla bla.........

If you have a problem, it is OK to to post about it. If I have the time and if I know how to solve the problem I'll answer the post.
Few tips about posting:
- always mention on which board and distribution the problem occurs
- always mention if you have made any changes to the original image (or if you made your own image)
- post in thread which is related to the problem (emmc problem on wily is not related to OpenSuse)
- post about one problem per post
- try not to give confusing information (you mention that ubuntu wily installed to emmc perfectly, than you give the listing with error)

I will check the install_to_emmc script and try to improve it.

loboris image_no_mod OpenSuse xfce. OPi Plus. Mentioned other image as proof my emmc still functioned(I was beginning to question it)...and that I knew how to use your images and scripts, in the most basic way at least. Thank you.
