How to setup an SD card to mount multiple SCSI virtual volumes

• On Linux, execute the following commands to produce the needed volumes:

$ dd if=/dev/zero of=HD10_512.hda bs=4M count=1024
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=HD20_512.hda bs=4M count=1024
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=HD30_512.hda bs=4M count=1024
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=HD40_512.hda bs=4M count=1024

• Once the volumes are done, format the SD card as ExFAT and then copy over the images into the SD card.
• Umount the SD card
• Plug-in the SD card to the BlueSCSI, hook up the BlueSCSI to the SCSI port on the Triton and then power up the Triton.
• Once the unit is on, press the "DISK" button
• Press F4 ("Inform") and scroll the "VALUE" knob until "SCI ID: 1" is shown on the second row on the left at the screen
• Press F3 ("Utility") and the press F8 ("UTILITY")
• Use the arrows to move the cursor until "Format" is highlighted, and then press F8 ("OK")
• Press F5 ("Name") if you want to set a volume label, then press F8 ("OK") if you want to format the volume, and confirm when prompted
• Repeat the steps 6 to 9 for SCSI IDs 2,3, and 4
• Turn off the Triton, detach the BlueSCSI from the SCSI port on the Triton, take the SD card and put it back on the computer
• Mount the SD Card on the OS
• Get the partition offset and size

$ fdisk -l /run/media/$(whoami)/BlueSCSI/HD10_512.hda
Device                                       Boot Start     End Sectors Size Id Type
/run/media/<username>/BlueSCSI/HD50_512.hda1 *       32 8388607 8388576   4G  b W95 FAT16

• Mount the first volume (Assuming that you labeled the SD Card BlueSCSI and using the "Start" and "Sectors" values from above)

$ sudo mount -o loop,offset=$((512*32)),sizelimit=$((512*8388576)) /run/media/$(whoami)/BlueSCSI/HD10_512.hda /mnt/

• Mount the first volume (Assuming that you labeled the SD Card BlueSCSI)

$ sudo mount -o loop,offset=16384,sizelimit=4294934528 /run/media/$(whoami)/BlueSCSI/HD10_512.hda /mnt/

• Copy all your files into the /mnt directory

$ cp -r /path/to/my/samples /mnt/

• Umount the volume

$ sudo umount /mnt

• Umount the SD card
• Plug-in the SD card to the BlueSCSI, hook up the BlueSCSI to SCSI port on the Triton and then power up the Triton
• Turn the Triton on again, press "DISK" button
• Press F4 ("Inform") and scroll the "VALUE" knob until "SCI ID: 1" is shown on the second row on the left at the screen
• Press F1("Load") and you should be able to see your files and navigate through the volume on the SCSI 1
• Select your PCM and SNG as usual and load them on "I-E"
• Play the sounds on the Internal Bank E and they should work fine, unless the sampling RAM is defective.
