I’m trying to install OpenWrt on an hp-PRODESK-600/8GB ram/240GB SSD with only one Ethernet port. Installation is performed using
/releases / 23.05.2 / targets / x86 / 64 / generic-ext4-combined-efi.img.gz
When proceeding to write the image file to the SSD I find that most of the drive capacity is unusable. The original image is creating 3 partitions numbered 1 , 2 and 128 .
the original "burn" is booting fine on the PRODESK mini PC but when I try to change the partition number 2 to a bigger size, I no longer can boot the PC. Here are the steps performed on a Linux computer ( not the PRODESK):
1- fdisk /dev/sdb
2- delete partition 2
3- new partition with same starting point and bigger ending point.
4- signature remains the same
5- e2fsck -f /dev/sdb2
6- resize2fs -f /dev/sdb2
Done !
At this point the SSD is disconnected from the computer and inserted into PRODESK then power ON. OpenWrt will boot and show some vital signs but will freeze 1.44 seconds later. The initialisation will not complete. One minute later there will be two more lines on the screen an then nothing.
Something is wrong in my attempt the gain disk space.
The Question: What would be the correct procedure to change the partitioning of the original image such that I gain more space on the OpenWrt drive ?
Any help appreciated. Cheers.
