No Space Left on Device
-
So I just set up my new device and was hoping to be able to install a few packages. python-light installed fine, but then I tried to install python3-light as well, and opkg failed with a 'No space left on device' error. I'm a bit confused about how I'm supposed to use this as cloud-connected things controller if I can't install the software needed to run things. Is there a system storage expansion I need to buy? I know that it's possible to plug in a USB drive but am unsure how to set this up to compensate for the lack of system storage. Thanks.

@Steven-Brent you can run your Omega from a USB drive, see https://wiki.onion.io/Tutorials/Using-USB-Storage-as-Rootfs for details.

@Costas-Costas Thanks -- I will do this!

@Costas-Costas @Steven-Brent Using a USB drive is a good way to go (I use it all the time) but note that there is a small issue with the instructions at https://wiki.onion.io/Tutorials/Using-USB-Storage-as-Rootfs which were originally for the Omega1 and you should also see my post https://community.onion.io/topic/1295/more-system-disk-space-using-pivot-overlay-and-pivot-root-on-the-omega2

@Kit-Bishop Thanks very much for the pointer to your updated instructions. I'll get this going asap.
