below are part of my x86 resource:
memory : 4GB DDR3 1600MHz
hard disk : 250 GB SATA3
when I runed openwrt on x86 and use commandline tool,such as 'top' and 'df'
to wathch the state of it, I found that the virtual memory is <1GB and the rootfs
total size is 50MB,thus my question is how to use my hardware resource sufficiently?
I make and install my openwrt on x86 follow the below steps like these:
1. make a usb linux system, I use slitaz here.
2. and build the specific image of openwrt for my x86 device.I use xxx-ext4.img here.
enter make menuconfig-> target image-> ....
then copy the image file to usb storage.
3. booting my x86 via usb, and use dd tools to write my image.
3.1 use mkfs.ext4 tools to format whole space of my 250GB hard disk.<!!!!!>
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda
3.2 dd if=/xx/xx-ext4.img of=/dev/sda
4. then my x86 device can run, and I use the 'df' and 'top' to check my device's basic state.
thus I found that my space available size is only 50MB, and the virtual memory size is <1GB.
