[joeythedream]

Hiya, ubuntu server installation to Raspberry Pi4B ssd failure.

A Samsung 2T SSD (870 QVO V-NAND SSD) is purchased for my Raspberry Pi4B as replacement of SD-card.


Before burnt imager (by my laptop windows11) into my ssd,

I follow the below website (case 2) to "showing up" my ssd in windows 11 as

Then I follow the below website to prepare a sd-card and my ssd
how-to-boot-raspberry-pi-ssd-permanent-storage (https://www.makeuseof.com/how-to-boot-raspberry-pi-ssd-permanent-storage/)

1. imager "usb boot" to sd-card => insert RPi to green screen, switch off, take out the sd-card
2. imager "ubuntu server 22.04, 64bit" to ssd
3. connect the imaged ssd into RPi thru' "SATA2.5inch-USB" cable to usb3 socket of USB, power on the RPi

I did it thrice but all failed, but with different error each time :

some type here ;
[FAILED] Failed to stat Flush Journal to Persistent Storage
[FAILED] Failed to start Device-Mapper Mutipath Device Controller
[FAILED] Failed to start Create System User

The Rpi4B is work properly with sd-card, and any command from you ?

Thank you very much

I don't know... I did this over a year ago, and followed some more detailed instructions where I had to do a lot of things manually. I failed at first, because the firmware that the board came with, was before it supported booting from USB...

Before I could do anything, I first had to update the firmware on my Raspberry Pi4 to the latest firmware, so it could support booting from USB...


sudo apt install -y rpi-eeprom
sudo rpi-eeprom-update # Check to see if there is a newer update
sudo rpi-eeprom-update -a # Upgrade the firmware
sudo reboot

Then I could follow a tutorial to change the boot sequence, and to transfer the OS to, (what I did) an NVMe drive in a USB enclosure.
