Larger disc image

Post by rainman110 »

Just replaced an old corrupted 4 gig USB stick on my NSLU2 with an 8 gig stick, but had to image it with a 4 gig image. Any chance an 8 gig image is coming soon? I still have a little capacity left , but after running my my Meteohub for several years, it is gradually filling up with data. I actually got the best deal on a good quality USB stick in the 8 gig size as flash prices continue to drop. Or is there another way to increase the data capacity on the new 8 gig stick?

Have a look at this post that describes in detail how to increase the /data size:

The post refers to a vmware image, but the Linux steps should be the same. Make a backup before starting the procedure (just in case you make a mistake).
