    When creating a clone of your ext4 file system in order to host RetroPie from USB, is it best to use DD to create an image first, then write it to your USB; lastly expanding the file system with resize2fs, or is it OK to use the copy and paste features within Gparted, and use it to resize the file system?

    I ask because I keep getting file system errors every since I installed this new 250Gb USB Sata external HD.

    I am using a 2.5A PSU btw.

    best bet is not to put the file system on there.
    keep that on the SD card and point the rom folder locations to the usb device
