Dear all,

I am trying to mount a usb immediately after the boot and copy two files on my system.

At the moment I made the folllwing steps:

  • creation of the directory /mnt/usb.

  • creation the following script startup with the following code for the user "pi"
    sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb -o uid=pi,gid=pi
    sudo cp /mnt/usb/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces
    sudo cp /mnt/usb/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
    if [ -f /mnt/usb/interfaces ]; then
    sudo mv /mnt/usb/interfaces /mnt/usb/interfaces.done
    fi
    if [ -f /mnt/usb/resolv.conf ]; then
    sudo mv /mnt/usb/resolv.conf /mnt/usb/resolv.conf.done
    fi
    sudo reboot

  • Insetion of the script to the crontab file by adding the following row:
    @reboot /home/pi/startup

The problem is that it does not work.
In the past I made a similar thing on my Raspberry but I cannot find out how to make it.

Note that, of course, we can use different usb stick with the files to be copied on the system.

Thanks.
