Puppy running out of space. How to enlarge NTFS pup001?
Puppy running out of space. How to enlarge NTFS pup001?
I have approximatley 12gb of space left on my HD, but puppy reports about 100mb left in /root. I think this has something to do with the fact that I had to download pup001, since it could not create a partition on my NTFS hard drive. Is there any way I can enlarge the amount of space in /root (esentially pup001, or is there another problem?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
Start - Utilities - resize root filesystem will give you an info how to do it on ntfs.
In the past several people encountered, that they can maximize pup001 to a maximum of ~740 MB.
I would suggest to make a backup of pup001 first (simply make a copy in Windows).
If you run out of space after resizing, ask again; there are some advanced tricks to get more space.

I did what it said in the dialog, and the total pup001 file was resized to 689MB through XP, and everything went fine until I rebooted to Puppy. It went through startup, but hit this snag and had to go through a 60 second pause.
It then started up puppy normally with all my settings, but the filesystem size remains the same. This happened when I resized to 988mb, which seems to be the maximum. Dunno. Help?Resizing ext f.s. in mnt/home/pup001 to fill 673M file

It had me run some other command, and when resize2fs started, this happened:

It had me run

Please run 'e2fsck -f /mnt/home/pup001' first.

The filesystem is already 689736 blocks long. Nothing to do!
All above "Guest" posts made by me. Forgot the pass, and I just found the activation email.
I recently rebooted puppy, and when I did, it gave me the same error and 60 second pause it gave before, and then it went into some kind of automatic e2fsck, and wiped all the data in pup001. The filesystems size stayed the same. I called the 639M backup, and Im back to where I was before, but the FS is still original size.

Have you readhttp://www.murga.org/~puppy/viewtopic.p ... his thread about enlarging pupxxx under NTFS?
Have not tried it myself, but looks as though it should work.

For me it's even better to have a separate pup file for just the data "pupdata"
In Windows:
- Just unzip the pup001.zip file somewhere,
- rename it to pupdata (or whatever name),
- Make it as large as you need by addint the 'pupextra' as explained in the link in the previous post (mine is 1.2 GB)
- Move it to the same folder where the pup001 file is (C:\)
- Boot puppy
- resize the "pupdata" filesystem with
- Create a folder, mount pupdata and delete everything under it (I do this under root)
That's it. You have separate file for all your data.
If you want to mount that file at every boot up, just add the mount command to your /etc/rc.d/rc.local file.
