How to expand the flash with a usb drive

I did this using the last OpenPli image.

1. Format usb drive on pc.
2. Connect it to the Dreambox. If it does not recognize power off and then on again.
3. Go to Menu-> setup-> system-> harddisk-> initialization-> red button (wait may take a while).
4. In my case I restarted the DM.
5.After initiating press the blue button (PPanel).
6.Select Extend DM rootFS and ok.
7. Confirm everything and wait for 15 to 20 minutes.
8.ATENTION after completing the last step (7) restart the DM.
9. To verify that everything is correct via telnet use the command "df -h".
10.Be happy.

May some OpenPLi 4.0 has not Extend rootFS in PPanel,
Please tech me for its, how to.....??

Thank you.

I use the last OpenPLi.

after mounting to a usb as a hdd,i copied the lib in the hdd.
i deleted the lib from usr and i putted there a symlink as follow
/media/hdd/lib
target lib

after this i can install tons of plugins.

the old dreambx is a new one.

Exactly, well done !

fotis this is the best way i tried every thing and the box was blocked when reboot but ur way is the best thank to u
just wanna ask if i can do it with any thing else like other folder than lib ??

Is this Flodder or Flash Expander or - what is it, please?

Is it safe for all DMM boxes, clones included?

Can we have it outside of PPanel?

As in, for all images...
