win32diskimager not enough space

vindhyachal.takniki@gmail.com

1. I have a 8gb sd card with raspian image. Also I had expanded filesystem using sudo raspi-config.

2. After that I had crated image using win32diskimager. Image size is around 8,068,792,320 bytes .

However when I try to burn same image back to same sd card, win32imager shows error that not enough space.

3. Strange thing is sd card is same, same image is read , but when I write back it fails.

    Hello,

     

    sorry but it is not so clear what you need. If you are trying to burn a 8Gb (about) image on a microSD of the same size without formatting it you will see that there is not enough space on it. The burn process does not include media formatting, so  - depending on the OS you are using - there is a procedure. What the program burning images on SD and microSD usually expect is to have a enpty, FAT32 formatted card.

    What I understand is that VT wants to create an image of his 8Gb SD card and write it back. Now to the exact same SD card it came from, but maybe later to a different SD card.

     

    I once had a card that would "shrink" by a few bytes every time you used it. This would continue until it was smaller than 4Gb then it would remain the same size.....

     

    VT, You are right: normally it should be possible to image a card and then write it back. One  thing that I notice is that your image is more than 8 billion bytes. Many harddisks and SD cards would say 8Gb and then be 8000000000 bytes. Maybe a FEW more, but not 68 megabyte.
