[SOLVED] RPi cmdline.txt root= changed from p5 to p2

Postby cincuranet » Wed Feb 11, 2015 8:32 am

Hi *,

I see the latest update changed cmdline.txt. Among the need to add rw (more info) The root= also changed. The new file has /dev/mmcblk0p2, while the old one has /dev/mmcblk0p5.

My setup is:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/mmcblk0p1 2048 186367 184320 90M c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/mmcblk0p2 186368 30392319 30205952 14.4G 5 Extended
/dev/mmcblk0p5 188416 30392319 30203904 14.4G 83 Linux
')

Should I change it to mmcblk0p2 too? Safe?

You should keep it at partition 5 since you probably installed a while back from an image. New installation instructions don't require you to have an extended partition, hence your rootfs partition effectively becomes #2.
