Hey guys, newbie here. I'm currently trying to install Arch ARM on an SD card for my RPI2. I can successfully create the partitions.
/dev/mmcblk0p1
/dev/mmcblk0p2
I'm using my current arch distro on my laptop and used fdisk to write the partitions.
The issue I'm running into is a couple of things. First off, I'm at the step where I make the file system. The instructions read:
mkfs.vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1
mkdir boot
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 boot
When I try to make the boot directory, I get an error message saying boot already exists. Which I don't understand since the SD card was completely wiped. I have no idea why it says that.
But because I wanted to troubleshoot, I ignored the error and mounted whatever existing boot directory it found and mounted it successfully. Not really sure what's going on there.
My next problem comes when I try to make the fs and mount the second partition:
mkfs.ext4 /dev/mmcblk0p2
mkdir root
mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 root
I run into the same issue when making the directory, it says it already exists. But if I ignore it and try to mount it, it gives me this error:
EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p2): error loading journal
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mmcblk0p2,
missing codepage or helper program or other error
I've searched and haven't really been able to find a solution to this problem. Can you help me?
