You just released a flood of questions. My microSD card is a lot larger than the root partition. > Just multiple partitions on the µSD card, or do you have something more > interesting in mind? I was thinking of multiple partitions on the microSD card, managed by LLVM. I'm definitely used to have /home separate from the rest. On other machines I use LLVM to get some flexibility in partitioning. But perhaps all I need is to enlarge the root partition to become the entire microSD card. How safe is it to do that while the root partition is mounted? Is there another next to it? I'd have to check. If I do that with the microSD card plugged into the USB port of another Linux machine, will I end up messing with the partition identity so the boot process doesn't find it? How does the boot process find its .boot and other partitions on the Raspberry pi anyway? Does it use grub? Or is there something peculiar to ARM processors, like uboot? What is that anyway. -- hendrik > > > Antony. > > -- > "Linux is going to be part of the future.
