No space on 8gb MMC? Repartition needed?

RayRay · June 5, 2024 at 3:42 AM

I installed Librelec on my android tv box that has a rockchip 3229 in it recently. It has 8gb of storage on the mmc and 2gb of ram. I installed it to the mmc using multitool and my storage is already full. df -h returns this: LibreELEC:/ # df -h

I tried touch /storage/.please_resize_me already and it didn’t work. Am I being stupid and have already filled up my storage? I was using a 2gb micro sd card before this so I feel like 8gb should be plenty for some simple iptv and stuff. Help is very appreciated, thanks!

It looks like the /storage partition was not expanded to 100% after the initial writing of the image, although when that fails we would normally see a 32MB partition not 160MB (as the 512MB image has a 32MB /storage partition). I would boot from an SD card so the internal storage is not the boot device, then unmount any auto-mounted /dev/mmcblk1p* partitions. Now you can use 'parted' to resize the partition and 'resize2fs' to grow the filesystem.

That’s what I was thinking as well, didn’t wanna whip out another sd card so I wanted to see if there was another way. I’ll get it resized later, thanks for the help!

Please check/post /flash/fs-resize.log

The resizing process appears to have been interrupted because the partition is 7GB but the filesystem has not been completely resized. as they told you, post the resize log because it may have had problems completing. however you can also try the manual resize directly from the multitool

I ended up resizing about an hour after making my last post using another microsd card that was also running libreelec. Everything's good now, thanks guys
