I use a 4GB card setup as below: 1st : ~500MB - Primary OS (SHR-U, updated often) 2nd : ~500MB - Backup OS (SHR-U, migrated from primary) - Migration is when I'm content with a working version of my Primary 3rd : ~3GB - Data (Music, Maps, backups, etc) - Music, Maps and the rest are sym-linked to the /home/root on the Primary/Secondary OSs I also have a failsafe (old but nicely working image on NAND) but that's rarely used outside of me doing something dumb with the uSD card. I do not use a swap file (for better or worse), so one is not included. Switching to my alternate OS is easy with Qi, just needs a bit of timing. My OS partitions are a bit bigger then required for the SHR image, but I have the room, and I'd rather err on the side of providing too much room rather then not enough. I hope that helps, Kind regards, Toaster
