Having issues flashing after adding a partition

[rsym3000]

Hi,

I added a custom partition to my meta-tegra image and tried to reflash an NVME that had been flashed with the old image that did not contain the partition.

During step 4, it looks like the partitions on the nvme are mounted to my host, and then they cannot be unmounted, so the process fails.
More specifically, in make-sdcard.sh, the sgdisk command on line 451 passes, and then the 'partprobe' fails on line 458 fails. The devices cannot be removed after that.

I am currently using scarthgap and bmap-tools. I tried disabling bmap to see if that was causing some issue, but that wasn't it.

Here is the output of initrd-flash. Thank you for any advice you may have.

Did you see the notes about disabling automount at https://github.com/OE4T/meta-tegra/wiki/initrd-flashing-support#prerequisites ?

Yes, thanks. It looks like I was removed from the 'disk' group at some point. That was the missing piece. Thank you
