Hi, Gerhard
The trick is to separate the server software from the content. Install
the basic IIAB on a smaller SD card (e.g. 16GB). Then mount the 128GB
usb drive (mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb0 for example). IIAB expects the
content to be in /library. This should be possible by a symbolic link
such as /media/usb0/XC /library. XC is a folder containing the content
whereas usb0 is a partition. The original installed content in /library
on the sd card needs to be copied to the XC folder on the USB stick
before the symbolic link is made. In principle, Ansible should recognize
the /library (XC folder) and operate as expected.
Tim Moody has an img of the basic installation which should be perfect
to set up the SD card (simple dd). I am looking forward to trying that.
I am hoping that the img sets the 'box' (hotspot). This should mean
everything can be done headless via ssh.
As always, it will be an adventure.
Tony

Hello all,
i am gerhard from berlin and i am experimenting with iiab
i succeded in booting my raspberry pi model b3+ from a 128 GB USB Stick
(costs are only 18€)
ok
then i wanted to let work this magic sentence
curl d.iiab.io/install.txt | sudo bash
but i got an error message in the beginning:
tune2fs: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden beim Versuch, /dev/mmcblk0p2
zu öffnen
Es kann kein gültiger Dateisystem-Superblock gefunden werden.
root@raspberrypi:/home/pi#
so i stick in this.
any solution for this problem
regards
gerhard. MD
Berlin

That seems to be German for:
File or directory not found when trying to open /dev/mmcblk0p2
Can not find a valid file system superblock.
What exact OS are you running?
Internet-in-a-Box strongly recommends Raspbian -- any one of the 3 from
this page:
https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/
PS click "installation guide" near the very top of that page if you're not
used to burning/flashing images using Etcher, Win32 Disk Images or "dd".

HI Gerhard,
Can you please use a microSD card, instead of a USB stick?
Internet-in-a-Box is not normally installed onto a USB stick!
In fact I don't know if this has ever been attempted before, so you're
making your life difficult :-)
Then again if that is your choice, it is possible manual step-by-step
instructions below *might* work -- entirely at your own risk -- and you
will certainly need Linux expertise if so:
