resizing knoppix-data.img

[Forester]

Hi,

Wot, no reply yet ?

I resized the knoppix-data.img but the size of loop0 remained the same

It sounds like you didn't quite follow the instructions. How ? Since only you were there, only you would know.

What do I do?

Hmm ... I think everyone resizes their persistent store at least once but Knoppix does not come with a convenient way to do this.

This simplest way (in that it requires least knowledge of Linux) is to start again. You could backup important stuff somewhere else first and restore it afterwards but you'd have to reinstall new software all over again so you might find it a bit of a pain.

A cheat code would be nice. There is now a pair of cheat codes that would serve http://www.knoppix.net/forum/threads...ersistent-data but you would have to install these yourself and I would not recommend that if you are not Linux capable and have not made becoming so one of this year's resolutions.

The instructions in this post seem clear and simple enough even though they don't use everyday commands. I have never done this myself. I can't see anything dodgy in the procedure but like kl522, I rather do it while the persistent store isn't mount.

There is another possibility that you may find easier to follow: http://www.knoppix.net/forum/threads...update*.tar.gz. I would not use this myself because there are a couple of cases it does not handle but, for you, that might not be important and it may be less hassle that starting from scratch. I think the method is sound provided you do it immediately after remastering. Since the chap who devised this was trying to avoid remastering in the first place ...
