Revision history [back]

The root file system is lower than 2.5GB. After a new flash round about 1GB is free if no applications are installed. That may cause problems with later updates. Please fix it soon. This bug is known since SailfishX for the Xperia X. Time to make it better!

It can be bigger, because it has not to fit into the android system partition. The lvm comes into the linux partition and on a GeminiPDA we can get round about 60GB for it. There is enougth space left if the rootfs will get up to 6GB.

btw: you can make it bigger on X XAx as well, because it does not has to fit in the android system partition, too. It resides in userdata partition.

edit 190307 - What to fix in the boot image?

Change the value of variable 'LVM_ROOT_SIZE' inside the file '/etc/sysconfig/init' of the ramdisk. Thats all.
