No space left on device - How to use whole sd card for linux to use #725

Open Gacut opened 7 years ago

Gacut commented 7 years ago

I have a problem with this "No space left on device" problem for about 4 days.

I can't seem to figure out how to increase root partition of Kali Linux downloaded via Linux deploy app. Every single function of Linux is working like a charm but i can't install any of Kali Tools and even update because it says that i don't have an more space left while 29gb is still unused on sd card.

Can somone please guide me trough this and hel me get it working?

You just can't. Because the max file size is 4GB in fat32 fs . you could try directory installation but backup the current copy and conf. Also content of SD card because it'll format SD card for dir installation

Isn't there any way to merge EXT2 partition to expand the space for installed tools?

I run into almost similar problem. I have enough space on SdCard.

When I specify a size lower than 8000Mb, creation of image-file is within seconds, and seems to raise it's size, but when reaching 2000Mb, df -U reports complete usage of disk, and same message appears "No space left on device". If I specify 8000Mb as img-size and ext4 as filesystem, creating of image-file takes 4-5 minutes and full space is reserved on SdCard. So I can use the whole 8000Mb of space, df -U reports correct values.
