[Maemo 5] Experiment: optifying MicroB
 

i have found a 10MB file in root FS (im pretty sure it is)

/usr/lib/microb-engine/libxul.so
microB engine file??


also a file thats 17MB!!
usr/lib/locale/locale-archive



im gonna try moving them to /home/opt/ and make symlinks
see how i go, done it with another file libQtUi...... (got 3MB back doing this)
i was around 90% RFS used !!!!!!!! :eek:

moving 3 files i went from 90% used to 81% used

Plz do that and report back... so I can do it too... btw the symlink code is: ls -s path/file.type /opt/path/file.type?

Re: MicroB - NOT optimised?? N900
 

the word is unoptified, and keeping that file at rootfs probably gives noticeable speed increase versus slow 32gb partition.

im symlinking using ssh over wifi with pc (however you put it)

thanks.

not sure if im correct with this.......

anyone know what folder(s) need to be as empty as possible

Re: MicroB - NOT optimised?? N900
 

according to Desktop Command Widget

i had 87% used after moving libqt.....

moved other 2 files, rebooted now i have 81% used.....

not 100% sure if its from what i did, but i did install lots of games today which filled my rfs to 100%, then i started symlinking files, now i have 81% used :D

oh, and moving/symlinking the files didnt break my device and i didnt notice any delays in loading in the OS or microB......................

Ironically, you made your thread title true (MicroB not optimized) by making your intended thread title not true (MicroB not optified). :D

I'll change it for you, though.

I personally freed around 40-50 MB by moving /var/lib/apt, /var/lib/dpkg and /var/cache/apt out of the way (move them to /home and make symbolic links).

if you do what ive done plus the above you'll get even more space

Re: [Maemo 5] Experiment: optifying MicroB
 

Yes, no problem.

question: you need the empty space for what?
