Hi everyone,

I'm playing around with a BeagleBone Black that I have and I'm trying to flash the onboard eMMC with a new Debian image. I'm using the Debian 9.9 2019-08-03 4GB SD IoT image from https://beagleboard.org/latest-images.

Everything works as I would expect. I can burn the image to a microSD card, boot from it, setup the flasher script, and reboot and it flashes the internal eMMC as expected. The problem is that when I boot from the eMMC there isn't any space to actually do anything. Here's the output of df. Is this expected on a fresh install of Debian? Do I need to use a smaller image?

debian@beaglebone:~$ df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev            
215M     0  215M   0% /dev
tmpfs            49M  5.4M   44M  11% /
run
/dev/mmcblk1p1  3.5G  3.3G     0 100% /
tmpfs           242M     0  242M   0% /
dev/shm
tmpfs          
5.0M  4.0K  5.0M   1% /run/lock
tmpfs          
242M     0  242M   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs            
49M     0   49M   0% /run/user/1000

Thanks,
Mark

I fixed this a week later, i don't have access to that server... Just
get the latest Stretch Snapshot:

That doesn't look like the IoT image...

debian@beaglebone:~$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on

/dev/mmcblk1p1 3.6G 2.5G 905M 74% /

Does running the partition resize script make any change?

debian@beaglebone:~$ sudo /opt/scripts/tools/grow_partition.sh
<SNIP>

debian@beaglebone:~$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on

/dev/mmcblk1p1 3.6G 2.5G 905M 74% /

{Obviously, no change on my system <G>} I wouldn't expect much on yours
either, but it might find a touch of space.
