Personal Storage

@BarryK
How do I increase it?

Normally, you would install EasyOS into a partition that is big enough, at least 8GB free required.

If you have chosen to bootup in lockdown mode, so running in RAM with drives disabled, then free space is determined by the amount of RAM.
If that is your situation, then to get more space, you need more RAM.

@bugnaw333 , no idea about this.

With puppy you have the option to modify the save file.

I don't know but there could be an option to modify the .sfs space, but in my case, when installing it decides how many space to use.

14Gb for my daedalus.

Hope you have luck.

It was installed on a 60Gb USB stick.
I will try to reinstall again on bigger stick if still have a 3G limit.

Why is it saying only 2.9GB storage?
If you installed to a 60GB usb-stick, then you would have almost that much space.

Did you install in a "different" way, not do it with dd, easydd or similar?

All the time I`m using EasyDD and do delta upgrades.
Results on my fresh USB install show that 60Gb and 32Gb stll have the 2.9G storage file--easy.sfs is mounted in RAM during boot, while the 8Gb is OK.

@bugnaw333 ,
I replied a bit too quick, without thinking it out properly.

The default mode is you are running in RAM, and you have to click on the "save" desktop icon to save the session to the working-partition, or save at shutdown.

Yes, you do have the 60GB partition to save to, if that is your working-partition.

However, while running, you are in RAM, so only have the available RAM space. That's why it shows 2.9GB storage.

If you save the session at shutdown, anything in that RAM, such as installed packages and browser history, will get flushed to the working-partition, so at next bootup you will see all of that 2.9GB free again.

You will notice via the "save" icon, you can turn on direct save to the working-partition. If you do that, the tray icon will show the full 60GB available. Direct-save has a lot of writes, but ok if the SSD is high quality. Also OK for a HDD.

Got it! Thank you.
