So whatever intricacies ubifs and jffs2 have, `df' appears to handle them properly. Now, `df' reported ~270MB available on fresh os1 install vs ~340MB on a fresh os874 install. Given that dri has been removed from os1, this is an almost 100MB difference. I'm sure I can jump some more ropes to make the case on a fresh os1 vs a fresh os874, but I do not see any reason. If the opportunity appears I will. The need for an XO-1 reflashing is not that rare ;-). In the mean, time given the accuracy of `df', it may worth looking at why /dev/ubi0_0 is only 878MB. > cheers > Daniel > _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
