Error: cannot create regular file '/mnt/etc/systemd/system/setssdroot.service'

Hi there,
I used this repo to boot Jetson AGX Xavier from the newly installed NVMe. At the first attempt, I had successfully finished all the steps, and it booted from the NVMe thereafter. Few days later, it was, however, not booting for some reasons. Therefore, I used the same steps from this repo to reinstall the os to NVMe, but ended up the following error:

cp: cannot create regular file '/mnt/etc/systemd/system/setssdroot.service': No such file or directory
cp: cannot create regular file '/mnt/sbin/setssdroot.sh': No such file or directory
Service to set the rootfs to the SSD installed.
Make sure that you have copied the rootfs to SSD.
Reboot for changes to take effect.

It looks like to me, the NVMe was not mounted properly

What version of L4T/JetPack
L4T/JetPack version: 4.4.x

Which Jetson
Jetson: NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier Developer Kit

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

cd rootOnNVMe
./setup-service.sh

Expected behavior
./setup-service.sh command should copy all the required system file to NVMe and create a service to boot from the NVMe.

Hello,

In my case the disk was not in the path /dev/nvme0n1p1, it was in /dev/nvme0n1 I had to change it in all the files to solve this issue.

Hello @rafiqrana ,
Were you able to solve this issue, even I am facing the same problem. I had to format my SSD and run the scripts to work as expected. It happened again today and I cannot afford formatting my SSD as there are some time consuming installation there.
Please do share your hacks on this issue.
Thanks,
Gayathri.

Hello @gayathri81

Just check with an application like Disks (select your SSD and see on Device the location) where your device is, in my case it was /dev/nvme0n1, then I searched for all the places where this application refers to /dev/nvme0n1p, and changed it by /dev/nvme0n1. For example:

In file copy-rootfs-ssd.sh I change (in line 3):
sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt
by:
sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1 /mnt

I think you also need to fix the path in:

1. data/setssdroot.service
2. data/setssdroot.sh

Hi @cramirezhe , thanks for the reply, but I'm able to mount the device properly. the location is correctly pointed to dev/nvme0n1p1. When I boot the service and script to mount SSD works fine, but not able to see the graphical interface. Able to access through terminal interface.
