Change the boot partition to FAT32

Small FAT16 partitions have problems storing a large number of files. A 128MB FAT16 partition will have problems storing over 164 files.

Note: You may have to boot the device at least once before running these steps.

# backup files on boot
find /media/joel/boot -type f -printf "%f\n" | xargs tar cf boot.tar -C /media/joel/boot

# unmount
sudo umount /media/joel/boot

# format FAT32
sudo mkfs.fat -F32 -v -I -n "boot" /dev/sdc1

# mount
sudo mkdir /media/joel/boot
sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/joel/boot

# copy files back to boot
sudo tar -xvf boot.tar -C /media/joel/boot

Create new sudo user

# add user
adduser <user>

# add to sudo group
usermod -aG sudo <user>

Copy your ssh-key to the remote server. This assumes you already have an ssh-key generated.

ssh-copy-id <user>@odroid

Secure root account

Change the root password

passwd

Edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and set the following

PermitRootLogin no

note: Ensure that you are logged into the box with another shell before restarting sshd to avoid locking yourself out of the server.

/etc/init.d/ssh restart
