October 8, 20251 yr Hello! Stock image from armbian.com; Armbian_25.8.1_Rockpi-s_trixie_current_6.12.41_minimal.img Here is the armbianmonitor's output: https://paste.armbian.com/ikodekuzel The error might be caused by the absence of the f2fs package in the image. root@rockpi-s:~# armbian-install Select filesystem type for eMMC /dev/mmcblk0 2 f2fs <OK> Formating /dev/mmcblk0 to f2fs ... please wait. Error: Filesystem tools for f2fs not installed, exiting root@rockpi-s:~# find / -type f -name f2fs* root@rockpi-s:~#
October 27, 2025Oct 27 Author I don't think simply documenting what needs to be installed is the solution. (Since I've already managed to figure that out, assuming my previous message went through.) I was trying to highlight that if a service is integrated into the installer (f2fs formatting), it would be elegant (or we could call it necessary) if that minimal package were part of the stock system, so the armbian-install doesn't break."
October 27, 2025Oct 27 Agreed. A check if the package is installed (and if not install it beforehand) would be sufficient too. PRs to fix this are highly appreciated. https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/packages/bsp/common/usr/bin/armbian-install
November 23, 2025Nov 23 > if that minimal package were part of the stock system, so the armbian-install doesn't break did your system break following the f2fs-tools install or were you able to format with f2fs and install your system in armbian-config?
