Save file clarification
Save file clarification
My save file is always running low (red instead of green). I can't figure out why. My understanding is that the save file saves only what is in my root directory? As far as I know, my root directory has hardly anything in it. I make a point of saving to mnt/home instead or to an another partition or drive on my computer.
Re: Save file clarification
Stuff you put into /mnt/home shouldn't be eating into your save file nor should anything you put into another partition so I'm not sure what the problem might be. Are you sure it really is another partition or /mnt/home that you are saving most stuff to?rmcellig wrote:My save file is always running low (red instead of green). I can't figure out why.

You can resize the save file :resizepfile.sh should be launched somewhere in the Menu .rmcellig wrote:Thanks! So just to be clear, aside from not saving anything in my root directory, is there anything else I need to consider in order that my bars are always a solid green?
One more thing. When I am in puppy, is there a way to tell which save file I am saving too?
To check which save-file is used you can use the terminal commands
Code: Select all
df
mount
cat /etc/rc.d/BOOTCONFIG
While on flash pup_rw is tmpfs and gets buffered with the minutes you can choose in the eventmanager GUI (default 30 i think).
where on HDD pup_rw is a normal layer in the aufs .

BTW If you are using FireFox, as default it will incrementally download a store of forbidden URLs, ("urlclassifier3.sqlite"), which is about 35Mb, or more

In that image there is no data listed for the size of each directory, and I always find this makes it hard to know which directory to investigate in order to trim the excess unwanted files. Does anyone know of a way to display directory size rather than just individual files?rmcellig wrote:My save file indicator is now green. Here are the contents of my save file.

du -h -d1
I just found a tip on another topic which suggested using menu, filesystem, gdmap to display parts of the filesystem in order to track where the largest blocks of data are. Looks like a really helpful programme. It creates an amazing image - almost worthy of being used as a desktop background.
You just hover over each block and it tells you what it belongs to. Made me realise my mhwaveedit temp files were huge.

du -h -d1
strange: what version of busybox? busybox | head -1
also: du --help
(try busybox du -h -d1 ??)
edit: both gnu-coreutils and busybox should have -d option.
I had that problem ... http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=74992&sid=56d69fe3ed23172aff3f9d5ffe74d892greengeek wrote:... my mhwaveedit temp files were huge.
