# PiShrink # PiShrink is a bash script that automatically shrink a pi image that will then resize to the max size of the SD card on boot. This will make putting the image back onto the SD card faster and the shrunk images will compress better. ## Usage ## `sudo pishrink.sh [-sdr] imagefile.img [newimagefile.img]` If the `-s` option is given the script will skip the autoexpanding part of the process. If you specify the `newimagefile.img` parameter, the script will make a copy of `imagefile.img` and work off that. You will need enough space to make a full copy of the image to use that option. Option `-d` will create a logfile `pishrink.log` which may help for problem analysis. Option `-r` will try to recover a corrupted filesystem. You have to specify the `newimagefile.img` parameter and a recovery is done on a copy of the image. ## Prerequisites ## If you are trying to shrink a [NOOBS](https://github.com/raspberrypi/noobs) image it will likely fail. This is due to [NOOBS paritioning](https://github.com/raspberrypi/noobs/wiki/NOOBS-partitioning-explained) being significantly different than Raspian's. Hopefully PiShrink will be able to support NOOBS in the near future. If using Ubuntu, you will likely see an error about `e2fsck` being out of date and `metadata_csum`. The simplest fix for this is to use Ubuntu 16.10 and up, as it will save you a lot of hassle in the long run. ## Installation ## ```bash wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Drewsif/PiShrink/master/pishrink.sh chmod +x pishrink.sh sudo mv pishrink.sh /usr/local/bin ``` ## Example ## ```bash [user@localhost PiShrink]$ sudo pishrink.sh pi.img e2fsck 1.42.9 (28-Dec-2013) Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes Pass 2: Checking directory structure Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity Pass 4: Checking reference counts Pass 5: Checking group summary information /dev/loop1: 88262/1929536 files (0.2% non-contiguous), 842728/7717632 blocks resize2fs 1.42.9 (28-Dec-2013) resize2fs 1.42.9 (28-Dec-2013) Resizing the filesystem on /dev/loop1 to 773603 (4k) blocks.

Shrunk pi.img from 30G to 3.1G ``` ## Contributing ## If you find a bug please create an issue for it. If you would like a new feature added, you can create an issue for it but I can't promise that I will get to it. Pull requests for new features and bug fixes are more than welcome!
