RAK 7391 No space left on /dev/root fresh from the box

[Kikuso (Enrique)]

Hi!

I just got a 7931 with outdoors enclosure, 8 Channels LoraWan, an NVME disk and 4G SPI board.

I installed NVME and 4G Board without further problems, but when I log in to the machine by ssh I find the root filesystem is full [before doing anything at all, just mounting NVME disk] so I cannot install anything:

NVME disk is OK, but my problem is /dev/root

rak@rakpios:~ $ df -h

If I try just “apt-get update” I get:
Error writing to file - write (28: No space left on device) [IP: 151.101.134.132 80]
Same if I try to update rakpios-cli or deploy an image in portainer:

What is wrong here? How can I liberate space? or how am I suppossed to install things? Or if this should work like this… what am I missing?

Thanks in advance!

Hi again…

Well, solution was much easier than expected…
I had not realized the disk was actually larger than those 2.9GB, so I just extended that partition with the unused space and … done.

In any case, if there is a reason for the partitions being delivered this way, I would be delighted to read.

Thanks!
