Re: Best partition type for data storage?

I dunno if this will count, but I have booted and RPi3B and RPi3B+ using an SSD containing the latest (well, it was 06-27 back then) raspbian and shared the home directory via samba. at the shared home directory, a folder named /home/pi/DataStor was created.

Re: Pi Not Rebooting automatically on first boot

Well its true that the RPF's recommendation for newbies is to install the OS using NOOBS (I too did that when I first started with Jessie), problems arose when I needed to UP-grade (no its not mis-typed). Nowadays I install using image, flashing it via Etcher. If you still want to install using NOOB...

if you installed your raspbian on your RPi2B using NOOBS (or PINN), and you dont want to start from fresh installation on the RPi3B+ .... then the most probable solution will be to "export out" of NOOBS. this way you preserve your original settings, installed packages, etc. the raspbian on the RPi2B...

if you have nothing really important in the current micrSD card, how about re-flashing it(using Etcher or any other method you prefer) with the latest Raspbian Stretch with Desktop?

Just for test... can you flash (using Etcher) your microSD with latest Raspian Stretch with Desktop and boot from it?

Re: A good battery for the Pi 3B+?

for all day power (or probably more) I'd probably go for a couple of 12D batteries in parallel, then convert it 5.2V at 4A and use custom cable (using VCT 2x0.75mmsq ) for power connection to RPi3B+ (not use microUSB)

batteries charged via mains converter or solar, wind/water turbines....
