My low-tech solution to delete the extra SD Card backup files was to
shut down the Pi, remove the USB hard drive, and connect it to my
Windows 10 machine. No problem deleting the files.

Its a gzipped disk image. One part. The file size change is somewhat
expected. gzip is single threaded process, whereas pigz is
multithreaded.

I did the minor update from PCP 7.0.0 to 7.0.1 to use the backup SD Card

write the file. I saw the note about pigz.tcz, so I installed that

The first time I tried it I just saw a numeric % in the left corner,

see the progress bar, happy as Larry. (Who is Larry)?

Yes, this is working now without any problem. I mounted a second USB

Hi Greg,
Not sure what might be filling the partition up. I assumed it was just
normal stuff. One of the devices that has the issue is just a player. No
LMS on it. I'll check the other two.
Could I get a more specific hint where the README is please.

I wanted to load an extension, but apparently there isn't enough room on

Is there a way to increase the partition to something like 4GB?
Thanks,

Math errors have been fixed. Numbers were too big for shell math. It
was only cosmetic errors, images were still created properly. Note the
size printed on the image name is the size needed for restore. The
gzipped image will be less than that size. Also fixed was when the boot

In case it helps on the image size calc, my partition info from Resize

Code:
FilesystemSize Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mmcblk0p2 29.2G 4.0G 24.8G 14% /mnt/mmcblk0p2

Tx. It'd be good to flag that the process is run in the background as
the web page spins, so it's not obvious.
Also about LMS ideally needing to be shutdown, unless it can do that
too.
I'll see how cron works out with pcp ic.
And is there any reason why pigz.tcz isn't included by default? Why
There might be a math error in the size calculations. Ill take a
look.
Navigating away from the imaging page should not hurt anything. The
processes should still run to completion. Obviously a reboot before
its done will be a problem.

I loaded the parallel gzip pigz.tcz extension and got much better
results after rebooting.
Net transfer speed was about 15-20MB/s, but it dropped to 200KB/s for
quite a while. Rpi4 on GigE switch.
It took about 15min to write 4300MB gzip file, but it's odd that it says
"Writing 1760mb image".

I've discovered that if I mount a writable share under LMS Network Mount
then that mount will appear in the image location drop-down, so that
looks promising. It's managed to write a 0 byte file so far but Resource
Monitor doesn't indicate any file writing activity. Will do some more
digging.
