Retropie Installation stuck at resizing file system

[pasiasty]

Hello

I have problem with RetroPie installation on Raspberry Pi Zero. I created Retropie files for NOOBS installation with this official guide. When NOOBS boots i have 3 OSes available to install: Raspbian, OSMC and Retropie. First two installed succesfully but Retropie during installation gets stuck at “First boot: Resizing the filesystem” for almost 2 hours. I dont think it would take any time longer…

Maybe its related to partitions.json file?
{
“partitions”: [
{
“label”: “boot”,
“filesystem_type”: “FAT”,
“partition_size_nominal”: 60,
“want_maximised”: false,
“uncompressed_tarball_size”: 20
},
{
“label”: “retropie”,
“filesystem_type”: “ext4”,
“partition_size_nominal”: 2400,
“want_maximised”: true,
“mkfs_options”: “-O ^huge_file”,
“uncompressed_tarball_size”: 1873
}
]
}

Looks like retropie install with noobs is for single OS only so ill just install it on Raspbian.

I am having this same problem, Only I removed the Raspian from the SD card and used only OSMC and Retropie. Did you resolve this issue?

Thanks.

See the end of https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Convert-RetroPie-SD-Card-Image-to-NOOBS-Image – you must have missed that part of the documentation.
