After writing oowow image to SD/USB disk, for example by next command gzip -dc BOARD-oowow-latest-sd.img.gz > /dev/sdX
, the disk will have only 1st partition. After 1st bootup from this disk, 2nd partition will be created automatically by oowow. But in some cases if we need created it before 1st usage, we can create-2nd-dumps-partition-manually
For some cases we need create 2nd partition before start oowow, for example automation restore images etc …
# copy original parts sdfisk --dump /dev/sdX | tee /tmp/oowow.parts # add dump partition echo start=131072, type=7 | sfdisk --force -a /dev/sdX # format 2s part as exfat mkfs.exfat -n dumps /dev/sdX2
