So one problem I keep running into is that the Crystalbuntu usb image is made in a way where the partition of / is 3GB
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb2 3.0G 2.5G 429M 86% /
So if I download and install a bunch of let's say Aeon mods, I start using space like crazy.
I download a lot of skins and since right now / is the only filesystem in rw mode, it fills up pretty fast.
Normally, I'd use lvm to extend the filesystem after adding another partition to the volume group, but since Ubuntu is setup differently than Fedora/Red Hat I'm trying to brianstorm some different solutions.
Since the xbmc skins folder is at:
/home/xbmc/.xbmc/skins I was thinking about doing a soft link from that folder to a new parition that I was going to make from the rest of my usb's unused space.
Has anyone attempted creating a new partition on their usb disk which utilizes the rest of the space then adding it in? (and of course updating fstab)
