In-Depth Information
Indeed, if you use PuTTY ( www.putty.org ) or any other SSH software to connect
yourself to the board (such as, 192.168.0.15 ) and look at the rootfs space
information, you can guess that the available size will be quickly saturated.
The SD card has little space left the first time
So, as the server administrator, it is up to you to resolve the size constraints.
Like everyone else, you might want to use an SD card with a bigger
size. This will produce exactly the same result as in the preceding
figure, as you will use the same partition scheme.
The next topic will describe how you can achieve this task easily.
Extending your root's partition
The default free space is really small; for example, you can fill it completely with
just one upgrade. As a result, the very first thing to do at boot is to resize the /root
partition.
Resizing a partition is not recommended for first timers. The good news is that you
won't have to enter many commands; you can make your life easy by relying on a
dedicated script provided with the board, which will do all that for you.
