Move Data to SSD === Formatting the M.2 SSD Storage In this blog post, we will explain how to move your root file system on EMMC flash to SSD storage on M.2 slot directly. The previous version of this post is here: https://www.forecr.io/blogs/bsp-development/changing-storage-of-the-root-file-system-emmc-to-m-2-ssd The advantage of this version is the boot up speed. In the previous version, the file system into the SSD mounted with a service after the file system into the eMMC mounted. This process increases the boot up time. In this post, the file system into the SSD mounted directly without any service. On the other hand, the Jetson module won’t boot up without SSD until the extlinux.conf file changed. To avoid this problem, you can backup your Jetson module before changing the root file system. First, connect your M.2 compatible storage device to M.2 connector and connect the basic interfaces (Ethernet, HDMI, keyboard, mouse) then power on. Open a terminal and type these commands below: ``` sudo jetson_clocks gnome-disks ``` ``` sudo ./change_rootfs_storage_direct-emmc_to_ssd.sh /dev/nvme0n1p1 ``` It’s time to reboot the Jetson module. Reboot it and check the Root File System copied successfully. Assignment of the Root File System Open a terminal and type this command to check the root mounted from SSD below: ``` df -h ```
