- Topic: Increased root partition size on older devices
- Some details about the topic: There are numerous threads here and in the old forum about people running into trouble after filling up their root partition.
@olf has written a good guide on resizing it. However, it’s tedious work on top of the already somewhat convoluted flashing procedure, and low-level work on the storage config can be scary.
Link to guide, that also has some links to forum topics about resizing:
Problems when trying to resize the root partition - #12 by olf
Having the SFOS installation image default to a 4 GB root partion (same as newer devices) would make things easier, and - as olf’s guide points out - an SD card can compensate for the 1.5 GB lost from the home partition.
Would Jolla consider making this change or, if not, what are the key factors against it? - Approx. time needed: 5 min
- Substitute (optional): None. If I can’t make it, I’d be happy with just a reply
