I'm using an SL C1000 with OZ/GPE and after some tweaking, uninstalling and installing my root partition has arrived at almost 90% use, whereas my home partition sits there at an idle 3%. I know I can always install software to /home, but I was wondering if there is a way (in OZ, I mean) to repartition the internal flash and mount all of it on /, maybe by moving root to sd with altboot, repartition and move root back again? would that work?

OpenZaurus never supported and will not support resizing of flash partitions.

QUOTE(Hrw @ Jan 28 2007, 12:28 PM) OpenZaurus never supported and will not support resizing of flash partitions.  But changing the partitioning of the MicroDrive is supported by the OZ installer. I've never heard the logic behind not partitioning flash, but at least you can repartition on the 3ks. EDIT: You could try RootFS on External media |
