You can try repartitioning through bootloader if you have serial console, see here https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:RouterBOOT Then you may need to patch this file's partition list too and compile your own firmware, so LEDE actually uses the new partitions you have set up in the bootloader. https://github.com/lede-project/source/blob/master/target/linux/ar71xx/files/arch/mips/ath79/mach-rb4xx.c#L148 The kernel is compiled by default to add this https://github.com/lede-project/source/blob/master/target/linux/ar71xx/config-4.4#L245 to the kernel command line added from bootloader. I don't know that device so I can't tell you more specific info. Note that in most devices there are hardware setup or bootloader partitions that should not be touched. -Alberto _______________________________________________ Lede-dev mailing list Lede-dev@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/lede-dev
