[HowTo] expand rootfs to 8GB

[gorski]

It's up to Zgemma devs, so not really, sorry...

[Thatsnigma]

Sagt mal was ist aktuell los? Dachte erst es liegt an der 32gb Karte, aber selbst mit der 16gb von Sanndisk, mit welcher es bisher super funktioniert hat, geht es jetzt nicht mehr. Die Box bleibt immer direkt am Anfang bei dem dunkelblauen Openatv-Logo hängen. Funktioniert das Script nicht mehr?

[Thatsnigma]

OK ich hab es jetzt erneut versucht und das Problem lässt sich nicht beheben. Es funktioniert einfach nicht mehr. Es liegt auch sicher nicht an der Karte. Was kann ich jetzt tun damit es wieder geht?

[gorski]

You must wait for OE-A and/or OpenATV developers to integrate our solution into their GITs or Zgemma devs for their new development...

[Thatsnigma]

But what happened now? Suddenly it does not work anymore? How can that be?

[gorski]

Changes must be addressed...

[Thatsnigma]

I don't understand right now. Can I do something to make it work again or do I have to wait?

Hallo gibt es schon etwas neues? Der Witz an der ganzen Sache ist ja, Kodi lässt sich z.B nicht auf die SD-Karte auslagern - nur auf einen USB-Stick. Damit hat der SD-Karten-Steckplatz doch komplett seinen Sinn verloren.

I have a 128 GB SD card. Is it possible to put everything into this SD card: flash, multiboot, EPG, SWAP, Picons, subtitles, IPTV Player buffering, and also HDD as recording?
Should I then create 3 partitions?
- one for flash and multiboot
- one for EPG, SWAP, Picons, subtitles, IPTV Player buffering
- one for recording

Thanks for the detailed description how to do this.

br,

That sounds good to me, yes... The Flash Expander principles put to work, for sure!

But I am not sure if it will work, if it has 3 partitions, rather than just one.

Please, try and tell, it would be interesting to know...

Can this also be managed with 2 partitions? one for flash, one for recording, multiboot and EPG staff...
First I would need to know how to install multiboot? Can you please help me with?

[gorski]

It's a different question, m8, for a different thread. Open a new one, please.

But we are waiting for Zgemma devs to edit the bootloader, remember... So, be a bit more patient and you may have extra options via remote control...

Did you test that, does it work?

[gorski]

Hiasakatano did and reported it works - but I don't know which ATV image...

If newer images have more partitions, then the old script needs to be worked on , I guess...

Or they could take the pull request from tromoto on Zgemma developers GIT, where it has been shared with the community...

[bazbailey]

I can confirm it does work on latest OpenATV 6.2 daily image from 29th November. As Gorski said, make sure you copy all of the files in scripts.zip to usr/script. I made the mistake originally of putting these into tmp folder and this did not work

[Thatsnigma]

Very nice thank you so much!! Do I really have to format the card with a Partition Manager in Ext4, or is an initialization with the box enough?

[bazbailey]

I have done this many times and have not formatted it. Also, I have used the Free version of Disk Genius which allows you to insert the SD card into your PC to take a full backup to a single image file. Works really well
