[Important] Rootfs deleting/relocating
 

Hey guys, (:
LOL WHAT A LAME INTRO, ANYWAYS!

So yeah, My rootfs was at 80% and I got sick of looking at it, so I changed it to 65% and it's 84mb now?
Anyways, theres a tweak you should all watch out for.

This command is very dangerous.
Here are the out-comes and in-detail explanation of what this command does.

In-Detail Explanation Of Original Command
mv /usr/share/microb-engine /home/opt -- This part moves "microb-engine from the usr/share/ directory, to home/opt (Non rootfs 256MB storage)

ln -s /home/opt/microb-engine /usr/share/microb-engine -- This part sets the instruction to find the microb-engine (Otherwise known as Web Browser) to home/opt/microb-engine from /usr/share/microb-engine (Yes yes, the rootfs 256MB Partition)

Effects
1. Web Browsing will NOT work.
2. The important and probably most scariest problem of all. 100% CPU Usage on IDLE

Yeah, 100% CPU at 600MhZ non-stop without even touching your machine. Thank god it was on a low priority and reversed the effects.
Here's how, just incase you bump into such a bug.

In-Detail Explanation of Command

mv /home/opt/microb-engine /usr/share -- Moves home/opt/microb-engine folder to /usr/share (Original 256MB Partition rootfs)
ln -s /usr/share/microb-engine /home/opt/microb-engine -- Tells OS to find the program at usr/share/microb-engine from /home/opt/microb-engine

Anyways, hope you guys never bump into this bug, if you do though, hopefully this will prevent you from reflashing your machine.
Happy N900'ing. (:

How did you run into this exactly? Did you decide make this change manually?

Re: [Important] Rootfs deleting/relocating
 

Web browsing works here (after moving it), and the CPU goes down to 250MHz when idle.

Re: [Important] Rootfs deleting/relocating
 

I don't know what . But im bumping into many problems. Now when i web browse, i cannot change pages. Fman. Stupid tweaks cause Devel programs messed up my whole rootfs.
What do you mean change manually?

I did a few edits to make my rootfs smaller.

I've also done the Python thingy.
Took out some languages. Ahh, now my machines a bust. Is there anyway to undo, or is it reflash?

That and the home/opt edit.
I really think reflashing is right around the corner for me. Goddang it.

OMG, someone please reply.

type ls -lah in xterm check the ownership and permissions of the file. Paste output here if you don't know how to read it.

Re: [Important] Rootfs deleting/relocating
 

I did the same thing :(

mv /usr/share/microb-engine /home/opt
ln -s /home/opt/microb-engine /usr/share/microb-engine , now my cpu is at %100 all the time and my memory is at 174mb ! ,

It seems all the roofts everything is messed up , after opening like 5-6 applications , it is at 100 percent (after using the command
mv /home/opt/microb-engine /usr/share
ln -s /usr/share/microb-engine /home/opt/microb-engine , my cpu usage become better but still I think it is not same as before )


someone please help !

Re: [Important] Rootfs deleting/relocating
 

ive also moved the microb engine and all the other things mentioned in the wiki except for running the script as i didnt feel safe doing it.
Anyway everything is running fine for me, (touch wood)
wouldn't that script be the more likely culprit, especialy if you've moved microb back.

Re: [Important] Rootfs deleting/relocating
 

so what exactly I have to do matts76 ?

how did you fix urs ?

Re: [Important] Rootfs deleting/relocating
 

sorry you missunderstand, mine was never broken, what i was saying was could the script on the wik be behind the problems ur having, if so i believe there is also a reversal script on the wiki,
ive done everything else on the wiki without problems,
