Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
on my tablet PC I used an Android App called "Linux deploy" |
| 4 |
to install an chroot-environment for - guess - Gentoo. :) |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
The tablet has a SDcard slot and recognizes any FAT32 formatted |
| 7 |
SDcard automatically. Anything else will silently be ignored. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Furthermore Linux deploy uses a single file when it is |
| 10 |
pointed to an external SDcard (with FAT32) which is mounted |
| 11 |
via a loop device, formatted ext4, and then populated with |
| 12 |
the Gentoo Linux files. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
So far so nice. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Unfortunately the file size is limited to 4GB, which is not |
| 17 |
/that/ much in respect to what I want to install later (Linux |
| 18 |
deploy goes as far as LXDE runs a terminal and only a few moe things). |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
I created a second file of 4GB and set it up as a "second partition". |
| 21 |
This is now additional storage capacity of another 4GB. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
BUT: |
| 24 |
Linux deploy already installed a full rootfs and more on the first |
| 25 |
file. And I need to increase the size of _the whole rootfs_ with this |
| 26 |
extra file ... not only the storage capacity located behind a certain |
| 27 |
mountpoint. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Is there any way to add the capacity of the second file in a way, that |
| 30 |
the whole rootfs participates from/in/at/of (damn! sorry, I am not |
| 31 |
good with/at/in/of/from propositions) this? |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
How can I deal with this? |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Thank you very much in advance for any help! |
| 36 |
Best regards, |
