Updated fork out there anywhere? #43
Comments
I think I did fork it around that time, but I haven't used this software in quite some time, so I probably deleted my fork sometime between then and now. |
In case it helps, I followed the instructions in that thread and converting a partition seems to mostly work, after installing a few packages (libparted-dev, libaugeas0, libpython3-dev, supermin). I had to use a CFLAGS override to install requirements: I also had to add BLK_DEV_LOOP to my kernel compile, because I didn't have it, but you probably won't need to do that. Unfortunately it won't let me make the change to a running system (understandable) and getting supermin working seems infeasible unless the dependency can be updated to v5 (per #39), so I'll have to see about getting it to work on a live microSD/USB install, or get my x32 install working again - at least it shares the same 64-bit kernel. |
If I were to run this on a USB, what would be the entire process? I am trying to set one of my SSDs as bcache but has data in it as well as all my HDDs |
I'm also struggling to use this under Amazon Linux 2, any tips are more than welcome. |
I did a little progress: Seems like supermin5 no longer supports
Therefore I created a function that creates the file:
The problem is then blocks call it with a bunch of packages, many of which are not available on my Amazon Linux2 system:
I wonder which of those packages we really need and which are optional. |
Working on Proxmox 8 (debian 12):

In issue #41 on Aug 17th 2021 @MurzNN commented
that @viccie30 had forked the project with preparations to package it for Debian. I looked at @viccie30's profile and I didn't find anything relating to blocks.
Does anyone know if there's a fork out there that will allow installation on a current distro?
