How to use microSD card to extend storage on arch linux Phosh - pineuser0 - 09-22-2021 Recently installed arch linux phosh on my pinephone, but the storage apparently ran out before I could even download anything to the phone, or do any other storage-related tasks. What I'm trying to do is use my 128GB microSD card that I have just dd'd with /dev/zero as a method to extend the storage of my pinephone, thus letting me use it regularly. How can I accomplish this?

Arch will resize the root partition during first boot (and you will see the text messages on the screen) - my full arch installation with several added applications takes only 5.4Gb of disk. So I suspect the best thing to do would be to reinstall arch. I assume you are using a Danct12 image?

A reinstallation fixed the problem, the image used both before and after was: https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Pine64-Arch/releases/download/20210908/archlinux-pinephone-phosh-20210908.img.xz |
