Hello all,

I own my n810 since a few weeks only and the root fs is already full:

/dev/mtdblock4 4 3 1 65% /mnt/initfs
none 1 0 0 26% /mnt/initfs/tmp
/dev/mtdblock4 250 243 6 98% /
none 1 0 0 26% /tmp
none 1 0 1 6% /dev
tmpfs 1 0 1 0% /dev/shm
/dev/mmcblk0p1 1916 471 1445 25% /media/mmc2
/dev/mmcblk1p1 7592 996 6596 13% /media/mmc1

I browsed the forums how to use the internal mmc to add disc space, but it all sounded pretty scary. I was thinking I would simply use the mmc for e.g. the /usr directory, but most posts were about booting from mmc.

• Doesn't everybody have this problem?
• How can I use the internal mmc for /usr? Or is this a bad idea?
• Can I rely on the internal car always being /dev/mmcblk0p1
• Why is mmcblk0p1 mounted to /media/mmc2 and not mmc1
• Is it a good idea to format the mmc as jffs?
• What is the purpose of the internal mmc if it gets mounted under /media?

I don't.

IIRC there are some oddities regarding device naming on N810... I think if you boot with only one card things move around..

Well, good luck, it's not exactly a trivial thing to do. You probably need to compile some kernel modules that emulate mtd ontop of a block device.. ext3 is probably slightly saner, but then the automount probably doesn't work anymore..

If I had space issues on /, I would probably follow the clone to sd route, for the sole reason that it's tested and documented..

Songs, Videos, Map data for Wayfinder Maps... Some games can install their data there, claws-mail (and maybe modest) can use it for storage..

I moved the included Videos, Songs and the Manuals there on the second day of owning my N810, freeing up a nice chunk on /..
