Added a persistent, user partition to the Omega2+ firmware
-
According to the Omega Firmware Changelog the v0.3.2 b225 firmvare has got a 512 KiB persistent, user partition.
It's mounted on /mnt/mtdblock7 and it's using jffs2 filesystem.Persistent: every files of the /mnt/mtdblock7/ directory is able to survive any system restore process (firstboot, long RESET BUTTON press, to enter failsafe mode) and any system up or downgrade (between b225 and newer FWs of course).

@György-Farkas thanks for the info. i'm not running that version firmware yet, but it got me to thinking about compression software. i know very little about what the max compression available with these compression tools but curious to know how large an uncompressed folder and all files and sub folders can be that would become a 500KB compressed file that would then be stored in mtd7 as a sort of backup. any idea if it would be an original size of 1MB or perhaps larger? thanks.

@György-Farkas yeah, i was lazy also after i asked google and got results dealing with percentages. like ~50% to ~90%. i was thinking you may have some real world experience cause i do not. thank you for the response though.

@Douglas-Kryder
The answer you will find universally for this questions is: "It depends."
Specifically, it depends on the "compressibility" of the source you are compressing.
Some things compress well, eg. text
Some things don't compress at all (or so little as to be meaningless): eg. compressed filesOnce you have a reasonably good idea about what you intend to store in the partition in a compressed format, you will have to do some trial and error to determine how well it compresses and whether or not it will fit.
I don't think there's any other way to determine an answer to your question, but if there is, I'd be interested to know as well.

Another trial and error.
I've copied the random.txt file five times into the /mnt/mtdblock7/ directory.

jffs2 - maybe wear-leveling and journalling are most important features than the file compressing.

@György-Farkas
Is there supposed to be some level of compression built in there? I don't think so, but I haven't been following along to closely recently.fwiw, I understood @Douglas-Kryder 's question to be more along the lines of: Given a 500K persistent storage facility, how much of my data could I store there compressed as a backup.
Apologies if I misunderstood.Anyway, that potential misunderstanding aside, looking at your figures regarding the persistent storage, I'm a bit confused with the values that you've posted.
eg. Here:root@Omega-5BE1:~# rm /mnt/mtdblock7/* root@Omega-5BE1:~# df -h Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/mtdblock7 512.0K 196.0K 316.0K 38% /mnt/mtdblock7 # emptyThe size: 512.0K - That's ok
The used: 196.0K - That's not emptySo something looks off with that partition.

Yes, I think so.

About my second 'Trial and Error' example

So something looks off with that partition.Unfortunately I don't know the jffs2 filesystem too well. (Frankly speaking I don't know it at all
I guess the "used 196.0K" on this "empty" mtd7 can be some kind of 'system administration area' - eg. for journalling and so.Please look at the 'Used / Available' figures during the whole process.
It's quitefunnyinteresting - isn't it?# cp random.txt (100,000 bytes) five times into/mnt/mtdblock7/ # cut from the output of df -h Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/mtdblock7 512.0K 196.0K 316.0K 38% /mnt/mtdblock7 # empty /dev/mtdblock7 512.0K 272.0K 240.0K 53% /mnt/mtdblock7 # after cp the first file /dev/mtdblock7 512.0K 352.0K 160.0K 69% /mnt/mtdblock7 # after cp the second file /dev/mtdblock7 512.0K 432.0K 80.0K 84% /mnt/mtdblock7 # after cp the third file /dev/mtdblock7 512.0K 508.0K 4.0K 99% /mnt/mtdblock7 # after cp the fourth file - almost full cp random.txt /mnt/mtdblock7/random5.txt cp: write error: No space left on device /dev/mtdblock7 512.0K 512.0K 0 100% /mnt/mtdblock7 # after cp the fifth file - fullBTW I'm only interested on wear leweling now.
