I got a shinny new bbb today.. havent stopped playing with for the last 9 hours.. so im kind of tired.
I have a BBB runing debian 7.2 from a 8GB micro sd. all is working fine with debian, its running headless at the moment which is fine with me. when I installed the debian image to the sd card, there was some space "at the end of the card" that I wanted to reclame. I did a little poking around and some thing is a ... odd. I could use some input. i am not a total noob but im by no means an expert with linux. I ran df -h to find what was used and where <https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-5wrNggkYhbM/UvXuQrGR0EI/AAAAAAAAFU8/BLaTWWUq-sU/s1600/df+-h.JPG> that looks fine.. then I ran fdisk -l to see what i could see. I am not quite sure how to interprate this <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hIN1xiclKaQ/UvXuyXY4gZI/AAAAAAAAFVE/YpQe-Fes55s/s1600/fdisk+-l.JPG> 1 how does /dev/mmcblkboot0 and mmcblkboot1 not cotain a valid partition table? what does that mean exactly? how does this boot without a valid partition? 2 why or how, does the sd card boot start at 2048? and use a fat12? I have never even heard of a fat 12 file system.. 3 given the boot is starting where is it, and the 2nd primary is about 3.6gb? I have a bout 3.7ish GB to make a partition out of? I think 8gb sd is relly 7.39ish? please double check my math. how big should I make swap? I used to double the ram back in the when you always had a swap disk.. but most boxes today have so much ram there is no need and it has been like a million years from the last time I have worked with something like .. this .. small... or with something that has this amout of resoruces:) thanks guys.. im going to bed, its 2 am. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
