I’d very much appreciate it if someone could give me an answer. Seeed say that this forum is to get technical support on their products, but I haven’t seen any support from them on this question.
I’m a Linux newbie, so any help is greatly appreciated.
After burning an image from a Disk with more memory than the image, some of the free memory cannot be used, resulting in an Insufficient space error or failure to run large projects
The first step is to install gparted: sudo apt install gparted
Step 2, open gparted, select the expanded disk, you will see that part of the disk is yellow and part is gray, gray is the unavailable part
Step 5, select Resize/Move to modify the size of the capacity, directly drag the right part of the white part to the far right, and then click Resize/Move, the expansion is complete.
It seems others have been able to mount emmc separately. I went as far as getting a connector for the USB header and jumpered the pins. But I cannot mount as a drive on any other system, so I don’t know how you are able to expand. I used the web interface to expand the partition, and while it allows this, it doesn’t run fsck or anything after rebooting. Were you able to boot off the sim card or usb drive? It seems I could change the boot up script for that, but didn’t want to make a single change yet. thanks.
Why in the world would they make this so small, That makes absolutely no sense. Then there are no clear instructions on how to extend this to use all of the space on the eMMC. What in the heck were you thinking? How do I get all of my space so I can use this as my router come on! And by the way @Citric gparted doesn’t install at all.
