Here it is...
=============
Preparatory bits:
For newbies, how to do this:
Install PB E2 VX into your AZbug HD. Let it boot properly.
Plug in a USB stick (formatted in EXT3) at the back of your AZbug, go to PB Centre > Device Manager > see the commands/coloured buttons > mount it as media/usb, so it will be there under dev/sda1.
Then, go into Rescue Mode (switch the AZbug at the back, then ON again, press > button on the front panel and hold, 'till you see the IP address of the rec.).
Start Telnet SW (PuTTy) on your PC, log-in by typing "root" (without "" signs), then copy and paste one line of the script above at the time...
Do not try to put in the next one unless you see the # sign come up in the next row, below the command you just issued.
When 2 or 3 commands are given you will have to wait, 'till all the copying is done...
Copy the script from this thread into Notepad++ and then copy each line from it into PuTTy.
When you are in PuTTy, put the cursor where you need to paste a copied line, then right click and the message will be pasted, then hit the ENTER keyboard and watch... Then, the next one...
In AZbug with E2, under /etc > fstab insert the new partition manually:
Code:
/dev/hda5 /media/cf auto defaults 0 0
Sometimes it takes a few reboots until it is finally mounted, so don't give up easily...
Enough?
=============
So, if you have a larger DOM (mine is 1GB) I better repeat this, in case you have missed it,
one can now safely enlarge your Enigma2, SWAP and add a /cf partition.
Install E2 first, then run this script and you will have plenty of space for all your plugins, emus, skins, EPG, picons, scripts, subtitle files and whichever debauchery you can think of...
)
Thanx to
Fabry's script, I can now copy the DOM contents to a USB stick, then resize the partitions according to my needs (larger E2 partition for more stuff on it, without it being clogged up), then return the content to DOM.
Fabry's script has to be modified only slightly, depending on the mounted USB device, in my case dev/sda1 = media/usb:
Code:
/dev/sda1 1 64 514048+ 83 Linux
The script to do it with looks like this, in my case (you will have to edit the second line according to your mounts, whether it's USB or HDD and if it is dev/sda1 or something else etc.):
Code:
mkdir usb
mount -o noatime /dev/sda1 usb
mkdir dom
mount -o noatime /dev/hda1 dom
cd usb
mkdir backup
cd backup
mkdir dom
cd /home/root
cp -a dom/* usb/backup/dom/
umount dom
echo ",512,83" > hda.out
echo ",4,83" **** hda.out
echo ",128,82" **** hda.out
echo ",,5" **** hda.out
echo ",,83" **** hda.out
sfdisk -f -uM /dev/hda < hda.out
mkfs.ext3 /dev/hda1 -b 4096 -E stride=96
mkfs.ext3 /dev/hda2 -b 4096 -E stride=96
mkswap /dev/hda3
mkfs.ext3 /dev/hda5 -b 4096 -E stride=96
sync
mount -o noatime /dev/hda1 dom
cp -a usb/backup/dom/* dom/
sync
umount usb
umount dom
reboot -f

So, now I have:
1/2 GB hda1 = E2 partition - meaning, lots of space to experiment with emus, skins, plugins and whatnot...
4 MB hda2 = who knows what this is for???
128 MB hda3 = SWAP partition - when big updates are available, this makes them possible...
over 300MB of hda4/5 = extended partition, i.e. /cf > where one directs EPG, picons, subtitles etc. (via HD Glass skin etc.).
