We have used about 7 Beaglebone Blacks with Debian 7 right out of the box with great results. Usually have about 1.6GB of free storage after all updates and software loads for our project.
We just received 11 new Beaglebone Blacks with Debian 8. Almost no free storage right out of the box. What are we missing?? What might be taking up all the storage? We don’t have much Linux knowledge, so HELP!!!
Greg - Thanks for the feedback. From my new Beaglebone Blacks:
Debian release: (uname –r): 4.4.9-ti-r25
df –h:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev 10M 0 10M 0% /dev
tmpfs 99M 8.4M 91M 9% /run
/dev/mmcblk0p1 3.5G 3.2G 57M 99% /
tmpfs 247M 4.0K 247M 1% /dev/shm
tmpfs 5.0M 4.0K 5.0M 1% /run/lock
tmpfs 247M 0 247M 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs 50M 0 50M 0% /run/user/1000
Apparently something in my “/” mount is taking up most of the storage. This is an out of the box unit - as received. My next step will be to start comparing all the stuff under “/” to my Debian 7 units to see what’s different. I don’t know enough about Debian to spot the obvious otherwise.
But it seems like a flaw to receive 11 new units, all with almost no available storage.
Thanks for your help. Any other ideas before I start ignorantly searching?
The Beaglebones in question were distributed by Mouser (their part # 958-BBB01-SC-505), and show “beagleboard.org/BeagleBone Black Rev C - manufactured by GHI Electronics” on each box.
