Hi caothai,

Yes, there is nothing beyond a 1GB partition, so a resize partition is needed. The partition to be resized is the one mounted on /dev/root, which actually is

/dev/mmcblk0p2

so resizing is not possible in the Intel Galileo itself, because the partition is "busy" (mounted on /). Thus, resizing should be made in another OS/environment.

I thought Intel had been documented this issue, but I can't find anything about it beyond custom made images, which is far from overkilling in this case.

HTH,

Fernando.

Hi Caothai,

Thanks for reaching out.FGT is right (Thank you by the way), you have to resize it on another OS/environment.To solve it, I found this thread that can be helpful for you: https://communities.intel.com/thread/46019 https://communities.intel.com/thread/46019If you have issues with it try the suggestions here: https://communities.intel.com/message/393112# 393112 https://communities.intel.com/message/393112# 393112I hope this works for you.Have a nice day.Regards,Leonardo R.

Thank Fernando and Leonardo R,

I use GParted to rezise /mmcblk0p2, it works :

root@galileo:~# df -h

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on

/dev/root 29G 1.5G 27G 6% /

devtmpfs 116M 0 116M 0% /dev

tmpfs 116M 0 116M 0% /dev/shm

tmpfs 116M 8.4M 108M 8% /run

tmpfs 116M 0 116M 0% /sys/fs/cgroup

tmpfs 116M 28K 116M 1% /tmp

tmpfs 116M 12K 116M 1% /var/volatile

/dev/mmcblk0p1 50M 2.3M 47M 5% /media/card

Thank for your help,

Have a nice day,

Thai.
