How can I run this on CloudReady when running of a USB? about chromeos-resize HOT 7 CLOSED

from chromeos-resize.

I looked up CloudReady just now and see that it's an installation method for Chromium OS.

Based on your original comment, my understanding is that you want to resize the partitions on your USB drive so that CloudReady will share the USB drive space with another operating system. Is that correct? If so, I think you can make it work by replacing DISK=$(rootdev -d -s) with DISK=/dev/sdb or whatever the disk's name is.

You should be able to boot into Chrome OS, download and modify the script, then run it, assuming CloudReady uses the same partition layout as does Chrome OS. If not, you can try another tool, like parted.

Sorry. I didn't specify what CloudReady was.
CloudReady is a Chromium OS branch developed by Neverware (neverware.com).

You can run the Home edition (free) off a USB Drive, which is practically Chrome OS on a USB. I want to change the size of my USB Drive's STATE partition, but as mentioned in my previous comment, I can't enable Developer Mode.

I'll try that, it may still work.

I tried it and got the error: ERROR: Can't open /dev/sdb: No such file or directory
Is this the wrong name?
Just so you know, I removed the check for developer mode section. Is that fine?
I read somewhere that most developer mode features work on normal CloudReady anyway... so it should be fine.

Alright.. now I used the default script except without the developer mode message.
But then I got this error:

ERROR: Entry outside of valid region
ERROR: -i 1 -l STATE -b 64 -s 33554432 

Or sometimes with different sizes:

ERROR: Ending LBA overlaps
ERROR: -i 1 -l STATE -b 64 -s 4096000 

But I am always getting the error:
ERROR: -i 1 -l STATE -b 64 -s 4096000
