    Hi, I'm a beginner with the udoo. I just got a UDOO QUAD and I'm trying to install a ARCHLINUX on the SD CARD to boot wit it. I found this tutorial online, however, I can't complete Step 6, where I'm suppose to extract the files to the mnt folder like this: bsdtar -xpf ArchLinuxARM-armv7-latest.tar.gz -C mnt

    This command generates a lot of errors like this:
    ./usr/share/file/misc/: Can't create 'usr/share/file/misc'

    And eventually stop with an error message. I searched online and saw other people suggesting to use tar instead, like this: sudo tar -xzvf ArchLinuxARM-armv7-latest.tar.gz -C mnt/

    However, this gives me a bunch of other errors that I have no idea why is it appearing:
    tar: ./usr/bin/groups: Cannot open: No such file or directory
    ./usr/bin/krb5kdc
    tar: ./usr: Cannot mkdir: Input/output error

    So, I'm stuck here. Can someone point me to the right direction?

    Best Regards, Ernani

    Hi @ernani,
    and welcome in the community!
    ArchLinux is an unofficial operating system, so I suggest you to open a topic in the Archlinuxarm forum, also because we haven't written that guide and don't know how to help you.
