I am trying to format an SD card for ArchARM from a laptop that runs an up-to-date version of Ubuntu 16.04. ArchARM will then be installed on a Rasberry Pi 3. I am using the corresponding instructions:
https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv8/broadcom/raspberry-pi-3
After creating the required partitions and downloading the image:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '$ sudo su
# wget http://os.archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinuxARM-rpi-2-latest.tar.gz')
the extraction step throws a massive error (massive because it populates the entire screen):
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '# cd ~/Downloads
# bsdtar -xpf ArchLinuxARM-rpi-2-latest.tar.gz -C /mnt/root')
Error:
bsdtar: Ignoring malformed pax extended attribute
bsdtar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.
Using tar also throws a massive error:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '# tar -xvzf ArchLinuxARM-rpi-2-latest.tar.gz -C /mnt/root')
Error
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'SCHILY.fflags'
...
...
... for every file
With tar the installation finishes but does not work.
Additional information:
Ubuntu 16.04 uses:
bsdtar 3.1.2
libarchive 3.1.2
GNU tar 1.28
Any thoughts?
Also, out of curiosity, why is bsdtar specified instead of GNU tar? Thank you.
