I’ve flashed a Fedora ISO using livecd-iso-to-disk
to my 250GB USB thumb drive like this
git clone https://github.com/livecd-tools/livecd-tools.git # We need the latest version to use `ext4`, otherwise `--efi` it will cause it to default to `vfat` which limits overlay-sizes to <4096mb.
cd livecd-tools/tools
sudo ./livecd-iso-to-disk.sh --format ext4 --efi --force --overlay-size-mb 60000 "~/Downloads/fedora.iso" "/dev/sda"
But after booting it, I’m failing to install a couple of big packages and Docker images (~8GB in total) because I’m getting errors telling me there is no more disk space available.
So how do I get more disk space to install more packages and Docker images?
There is like 200GB of free space available in /run/intiram/live
, but that’s not where I need it.
I already gave the overlayfs 60GB, but that just seems to reduce the available space of /run/intiram/live
by 60GB without making it available on /
.
--home-size-mb
is not an option for me because of all the side effects (like forcing me to create a user account etc).
