Reinstallation of TrueNAS fails - Error can't find partition 2 on mmcblk0

In summary:

  1. Boot up the install iso.
  2. At the four options prompt, enter shell.
shell

$ sed -i s/tries=30/tries=200/ /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/truenas_installer/install.py

$ exit

```

  1. Back at 4 options prompt, proceed with the install as expected.

This worked fine on my Ugreen DXP2800

Do this.

Worked for me.

Thank you, works on Dell Wyse 5070!

This worked right away on my LincStation N2 ! Thanks alot.

So during setup/install, chose 2. Shell (to get in command prompt) and type in Borja / geerlingguy’s command-line and press enter. Screen will go black for few seconds then when back at setup/install menu, go for 1. Installation and enjoy :slight_smile:

Thank you for the summarized post. This worked for me as well.

Tnx! Worked for me on Zimaboard 1

Just tried this on the same hardware @drcjb is on, the BeeLink ME Mini, worked. Tried 5-6 cycles of installing before this, no luck. Used this command, worked first time after.

Modifying the TrueNAS install script worked on my Iron Cow Zero 1 Pro.

Has anyone created a PR for this?

sed -i s/tries=30/tries=130/ /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/truenas_installer/install.py
