Root FS is not expanded in LuCI but

[Exio0]

I have expanded correctly the Root filesystem but LuCI is not showing this change

root@OpenWrt:~# fdisk /dev/sda

Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.39).
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
Be careful before using the write command.

This disk is currently in use - repartitioning is probably a bad idea.
It's recommended to umount all file systems, and swapoff all swap
partitions on this disk.

Note: I changed the UUID in /boot/grub/grub.cfg correctly too. I rebooted and halted but still like this:

S1

lsblk output:

Any idea why?

[frollic]

you missed resize2fs ?

[Exio0]

I followed the guide with fdisk, not with losetup and resize2fs.

What i have to do with resize2fs?

[frollic]

@Exio0

not with losetup and resize2fs.

losetup is for squashfs ...

@Exio0

What i have to do with resize2fs?

run it on the resized partition ?

[Exio0]

@frollic

run it on the resized partition ?

I mean.. resize2fs /dev/sda2?

I told you your method was incorrect here

Problem installing OpenWRT in a x86 PC partition

Hello guys, Im trying to install OpenWRT in a x86 PC. I have a 256GB disk with a partition of 5GB created (i want to install OpenWRT in that partition). Thing is... im using dd to copy the .img to /dev/sda1 but dd throw me the error "No left space on device" but i know OpenWRT is not that large. Im using a extracted OpenWRT image and .img file but both fail to install. I cannot access to PC via ssh or scp, it throw me Timeout error so is hard to upload commands like lsblk Any help please?

@RuralRoots

I told you your method was incorrect here

i finally completed that. it was a ip/dns issue but i have luci and ssh now. i dont know what method are you meaning

dont know how but now the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file doesnt exist..
can i regenerate it somehow?

can i use this one? (changing UUID)

How to install OpenWrt as a new os in the grub menu?

menuentry "OpenWRT" { linux /boot/vmlinuz root=PARTUUID=b3ade79d-02 rootfstype=ext4 rootwait console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8 noinitrd } menuentry "OpenWRT (failsafe)" { linux /boot/vmlinuz failsafe=true root=PARTUUID=b3ade79d-02 rootfstype=ext4 rootwait console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8 noinitrd } the root= value will probably be incorrect, you'll need to adjust it. And you'll need to redirect the boot to sdb, since it's where you put OpenWRT.

EDIT: tried but OpenWRT is not saving that change, do i need something like update-grub?

im using PARTUUID not UUID

@Exio0

can i regenerate it somehow?

you can pull it from the openwt image file.

@Exio0

can i use this one?

that one's incomplete.

@Exio0

im using PARTUUID not UUID

just use root=/dev/sda2

[Exio0]

@frollic

you can pull it from the openwt image file.

how?

@frollic

just use root=/dev/sda2

did it. but still doesnt saving the file..

edit...: ok it was setparams not menuentry.. wow

[Exio0]

Now we can afford follow this

@Exio0

I mean.. resize2fs /dev/sda2?

as guide says..

remount as read only, or boot from a flash drive, and do the resize from the booted OS.

[Exio0]

Done, thanks for the help frollic

had to execute e2fsck -f /dev/sda2 first as resize2fs -f /dev/sda2 command told me

[frollic]

interesting, I usually don't get that, but I'm always resizing from another OS, not openwrt itself.

[Exio0]

I booted a OpenWRT live image, maybe for that reason..

[frollic]

btw, you can browse the openwrt image in windows, using 7zip, read only though.
