So I reinstall, create a backup; winscp to the backup and save to my windows pc.

I read the advice on using the backup To save an img file. This will be smaller than 4gb sd card?

Thanks maninavan and ronnie for your support.

In my example, I burnt pCP to a 4GB sd card

Eaxpanded the FS to 1MB

Installed 4 extensions and a copy of LMS (I did not configure LMS)

I made the backup and copied to my windows Desktop

One can see the sizes in the following screenshot (I have extracted the .img to show its size)



hope that helps

I want to run pCP on my 4GB sd card as Player/Server but the expand (I mean resize) failed three times. I attach the dmesg

[Man in a van]

I'm not very good with log files, sorry

I would suggest using the SD Card formatter and wiping the card, it will only take five minutes or so

Yes I'll do that

Go to pCP Main Page > scroll down to Additional Functions > select SDCard Image



Select Create and wait for a short while

Action first




And then complete

I must admit I have never seen resize fail.

Have a look at the resize log, [Main Page] > [Diagnostics] > [Logs] > "resize"

There are two logs with mention of resize.

I thought about my use of the rpi4 and decided not to install LMS.
We have two LMS instances on our lan; four players and additional rpi4.
I use the rpi4 (with HAT) as a headphone amplifier in the home office where the power is switched off every night.
If I don't turn it off in the Material skin browser before it's switched off, the piCore os should still reboot.
