I mounted ext hdd to /ext_hdd_setup_folder.
I downloaded latest image with hive-replace --download=/ext_hdd_setup_folder
I tried for hive-replace /ext_hdd_setup_folder/[email protected]
It gives this error.
I checked file path, it is correct
you can always dd your install to the external hdd, then boot from it and run hive-replace
In this case, bios setting etc. will be needed?
I want to speed things up. This does not suit me because it is very difficult for me to connect a monitor…
I guess it is not possible to use the external hdd as the path for the installation file.
you dont need to connect a monitor. use shellinabox/hive shell.
bios settings will depend on the amount of cards, which motherboard etc.
I think there is a misunderstanding. I wrote my question in the topic title.
Can we write external hdd as file path for installation file only in hive-replace command?
I’m just asking this. Thanks.
( I will not do a fresh install.
Only when there is a problem in hiveos, I renew the system with this command. )
You are trying to use hive-replace without needing an internet connection, and instead pull the image from external storage.
I am not sure I have ever seen it used that way,
“Only when there is a problem in hiveos, I renew the system with this command”
I am not sure I would use hive-replace in the way. As I believe hive-replace will pull config from the previous image potentially porting the issue to the new image.
The only time I use hive-replace is when there is a kernel update, as I can clone and swap a drive before hive-replace is finished.
