We have a few devices with sad drives we would like to use packages with and configure extra steps into the shutdown to backup additional log data an some small configurations to the /cfg partition. It would be useful to use the rest of the 32G. We have a few systems we intend to build/customize packages on as well, so storing the large image file wouldn't be a problem.
If you have any hints that would be great, otherwise we will just follow the nanobsd instructions as far as we can Thanks Trevor On Jun 15, 2010, at 12:33 AM, Chris Buechler <[email protected]> wrote: > On Fri, Jun 11, 2010 at 2:02 PM, Alan Worstell > <[email protected]> wrote: >> Hello, >> I am trying to figure out if I can somehow create a larger than 4gb image.
