Angstrom & OpenZaurus / OZ 3.5.1 - Mount / on sd card?

« on: September 29, 2004, 10:57:28 am »

Thanks for the information.  Would you mind sharing your script with me?  I followed the instructions, but perhaps missed a step or two.  Also - why do you think the SD cards are stressed being root?  All of the logging, etc goes on in the ramdisk in /var, is there that much reading/writing going on in the rootfs?  

Perhaps we could modify such things to give SD cards a longer life as root .  It really is more convenient than worrying about fitting into the x MB available in the Zaurus itself.

Thanks again,

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / OZ 3.5.1 - Mount / on sd card?

« on: September 28, 2004, 12:53:01 pm »

Hello everyone,

So I installed OZ 3.5.1 succesfully on my poodle, however I would like to run entirely off of the SD card (512MB) which offers considerably more space.  I followed the instructions in the openembedded wiki, however they did not work.  (i.e. created duplicate/modified rootfs on the SD card, but upon boot does not boot from the SD card)

Has anyone done this recently?  Do you have any suggestions?

Also, does this impact the responsiveness of the Zaurus at all?  (i.e. is the SD card slower than internal memory?).

Thanks,

~Abe
