remote access with Zerotier

Post by ke4pmp »

I upgraded to the latest version against my better judgement especially since our repeater was working so well. Now that I have upgraded to 4.1.4 & try to install zerotier it tells me my card is full. I have a 32gb card surely version 4 is not that large. Anyone had this issue? For now I will have to leave a laptop at the site to remote in to the dashboard. Any thoughts are welcomed.

What does "df" show for the partition sizes?

I thought Pi-Star was configured to auto-expand the partition to fill the card on first boot (hopefully it isn't checking on every boot).

Code: Select all

pi-star@pi-star-3b(ro):~$ df -h

Pi-star is not that large to take up an entire SD card, perhaps the program you are trying to install is trying to use another mount point that is low on space and not the standard "/" where all of the extra space is located. Or maybe you are not setting the system to read/write mode and since it can't write to the disk it is throwing an error saying it is out of space instead of saying it is write protected.
A candidate might be /tmp -- if the install requires compiling/linking to create a binary. Since one requires an account to download the DEB file (presuming there is one for armhf Debian) I can't experiment. I'm definitely not going to download and build from source...
