I bought an Archos because I thought I could install Linux. I have a problem with the ubuntu.img which is 1.9GB and the /data is only 1.5 at its max (800mb after installing some Android applications). The question I have is how can I increase the /data partition? Does it come from the 250GB, if so, how come it is so small? If not, where do I get that space from? I saw some postings on how to increase but the procedure does not work for this particular model: Archos 101 G9 1.5gh 250GB hdd. If somebody needs a tester please contact me.

I have the same problem and I can´t figure it out!
The flashversions don´t have these problem, because they have all of these space, but the HDD version, just 1,5Gb... In another thread I try to figure out how to mount the HDD for more app-space, but the HDD is slow and it would be very inefficient, soo you should change the HDD to a SSD...
If there is any option without modifing the hardware let us know
Other Thread
This would be the other thread...
We´re trying to get more app storage at the HDD version!

250GB is hdd storage, Android uses it to store your files only (videos, music, documents etc). Data partition (system files, apps, app data) is in flash memory which is much smaller.

Hello everybody,
I bought an android tv stick but i noticed that the space to install applications was pretty low 500 mb which is not enough, but the space to store the files was 5 gb!
My question is is there a way to increase the memory to install applications, or to make as samsung use the space to store the files and applications at the same time? Give me all possible solutions ...
thanks for reading
Hello everybody,
I have an Olkya Tablet rooted by kingroot
Model number : Liger81G
1 GB Ram
16 GB HDD divided into:
Internal storage 484 MB
Nand Flash : 12.92 GB
Android 4.1.1
The problem is the internal storage is very small so I can only install 5 apps (including Google Play Store)
So how can I resize the partitions of this tablet?
**Note: I'm a beginner in using rooted devices so please show me the steps as a beginner not advanced
any help ?

Hello. I was wondering if the partition has to be 16384 MB in size or it can be less as for some reason I can't resize it to that amount in order to install Remix OS, even though there is still about 25 GB left that disk. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Hello, I'm new to tinkling with android devices. Bear with my assumptions or better, correct me.
I recently bought a phone from a not well known brand... so finding specific help is hard and I'm not concerned about their 'said' warranty.
Phone is advertised as 32GB and 3GB but the storage behaves as 16GB. The manufacturer's file manager shows 32 GB.
But digging, my computer shows 12.## GB out of 32 I've installed solid explorer and it shows 12.## GB space.
With solid explorer and DiskUsage, I believe there can actually be 16 GB unused space.. I explain..
The root folder shows a /data folder that has two parts, 16.2 used and 15.8 free.

My calculations show that cache, dev, storage,system all add up to 16Gb which makes sense. Where is the other 16 (15.8) GB?
So I thought the phone actually has 32 GB but part of it is not mounted and you can help me mount it for use.
... I've seen there's a ROM for it at needrom website but but how sure? I have it in my laptop.
...I've wanted to create a nandroid backup but but cwm recovery has not supported it
...I've been googling about resizing partitions but but I don't have a recovery route
... I will definitely attempt some adb commands but isn't it better if I'm more informed?
Phone is called Hotwav s8
