How to get more disk space for root?
Posted: Thu Aug 02, 2012 3:18 pm
Hi,
A friend of mine has been happily using a TP-Link TL-WR1043ND as a Wi-Fi access point with Gargoyle 1.4.7. The only problem is that I have remote SSH access to it therefore I wanted to install some applications and ran out of space.
Here's how thing currently look like:
I didn't install lots of stuff, IIRC there's GNU Screen, Mutella and a couple of other things and their dependencies. The idea was to let Mutella run as a Gnutella ultrapeer to support the network. The problem is that /dev/root is occupied at 100% and at some point Mutella goes postal because it can't even update its own config files.
Given /tmp has 14 MB, I would like to use like half of it. Is there an easy way to partition things differently or to grab more space for root? Is it possible to tweak things by reinstalling Gargoyle? Would a barebones OpenWrt install give me more space? Sorry if these questions are stupid, I'm a newbie when it comes to Gargoyle and OpenWrt so any help would be more than welcome.
