How to increase aufs root when change file is used [solved]
Posted: 19 Aug 2014, 22:42
I'm running Porteus LXDE on a machine with 4GB of RAM, using a 4GB save.dat (with approx 3.5G free) and booting from iso.
With this combination, I am running out of free space on the aufs root as it is only using ~1GB for the aufs root.
How can I increase the RAM allocated to the aufs root when using a save.dat changes file?
(Ideally to 100% available - kinda like allowing ramsize=100% even with a save.dat changes file.)
Here are some snippets.

Code: Select all
kernel /boot/syslinux/vmlinuz from=/boot/images/Porteus-LXDE-v3.0.1-i486.iso
=> uses default ramsize=60% of available RAM (4 - 1.4 * 60% ~= 1.6)
