Available space is UNBEARABLE :(

[UnKn0wnBooof]

All my infusions are installed on the SD card yet the Pineapple has still managed to run out of disk space within less than an hour. WTH?

I can't even write a single log file, move content or anything. I'm treated as if the internal storage was RO (which it isn't. It's just out of space because the internal NAND is basically rubbish, tbh).

Could we possibly have the entire FS redirected to the SD card, sorta like a Raspberry Pi where it boots from the SD itself?

I've lost count of how many times I've "unbricked" my MKV within the past couple of days, trying to get it working properly. Why is the internal storage so crappy? :/

Has anyone else had this issue?

One thing I recently pointed out in PortalAuth's support thread is that you may want to consider moving its dependencies to your SD card as well. There are multiple python libraries that can take up quite a bit of space.

This is what I mentioned in my thread. Try it out and you'll probably free up a bit of space.

Version 2.6 has been submitted to the Pineapple Bar. During testing I noticed that my Pineapple was running out of space for the libraries required (I may just have more stuff installed than others) but if you run into this problem I recommend the following:

1. Move /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ to /sd/depends/site-packages.

2. Create a symlink between the two.

3. Install dependencies.

mv /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages /sd/depends/site-packages
ln -s /sd/depends/site-packages/ /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages

Neat! Will try this out! :D

I wish the Pineapples firmware was fully open source ._. Maybe if we made a few tweaks to the kernel, we could boot everything from the SD card and not worry about running out of space, as the NAND would only store the kernel. I can dream, I suppose.

i noticed in the logs and reporting infusion there was a clean up after log sent check box. maybe your stockpiling log data? i had my pineapple choke after three days of reporting while trying out the infusion.

It had literally ran out of space within minutes. Symlinking some data as sud0nick mentioned, seems to have fixed it for now. The free 3MB is still unbearable imo.

Thanks for the tip :)

Have you tried this option:

[hairbag]

they need to modify the firmware to boot from sd card or usb and all the problems will go away.

That doesn't make sense to me. Boot off of internal, store everything on SD card. Just like my OS boots off my SSD and I store everything on multi traditional hard disks.

To be honest, it would be better to boot off of an external device. We're limited on what packagaes can be installed. Even the dependencies for portalauth, eats up a bunch of space, making the user have to sym link data to the sd card.

It's way too limited, in my opinion. I do think that booting off of something external, is the way to go. It would offer so much more flexibility.

[UnKn0wnBooof]

Have you tried this option:

Yup. Still running out of space ._. Hating on openwrt and it's build system, atm.

[Sebkinne]

It is up to infusions developers to handle their storage correctly. I'd they choose to use internal storage, yes, you don't have enough space. Really though, you can install all packages to the SD card and infusions should create necessary links by themselves.

3mb isn't a lot, but if used properly shouldn't run out any time soon.

If you really do want to move to an sdcard, Google OpenWRT extroot. They don't recommend it, and neither do we, but it does work.

If you want to compile kernel modules, our build guide has everything you need for modules. The kernel isn't what you want to modify here though. If you do this, I recommend you pivot the overlay.

What we could do is ship it as an experimental option, and if proven stable recommend it during initial setup.

Best regards,

Sebkinne

That would be awesome! :D Do you think this option could be added in the next firmware release? Just curious ._.

I have this problem - tmp runs full .. because of perhaps to many clients for the pineap ? what is the easy way to get that tmp directory moved to /sd/tmp ?

Putting tmp on a sd card is a really good way to fry the sd card pretty quick.

[Thermostaten]

Sure - but .. what is the alternative ?

Run the same functions that Mark V delivers on a self installed openwrt running on a NUC with proper CPU, Disk and memory ;)

Well - i think i figured it out - the auto start of pineap does not run well when the dip switches starts the same function ( running twice)

Now my focus is on the speed of the sd card.. it also troubles me (darn slow.. )

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/explora/photography/buying-guide/fastest-memory-cards-money-can-buy

I hope the next mark VI is with +2G memory and options to expand it ..

[sud0nick]

If your primary issue is the PineAP log you can tell it to write to the sd card. This shouldn't be a problem, just don't put your whole /tmp directory on the sd card.
