Subject: Fitting it on the drive
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 1998 23:39:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <199811130739.XAA14389@mail.well.com> (raw)
More an NT problem than an eCos problem:
I'm having trouble building eCos because I keep running out of disk
space.
I've got a 2gb FAT16 partition, so the cluster size sucks. I've been
brutally pruning stuff off the drive but I still haven't finished
building the tools because of the production of many small files.
How do others handle this? Is there a way to overlay another (possibly
compressing) filesystem on the FAT16 partition to give me better use of
the space?
I don't want to repartion as it will mess up drive letters for my OS/2
setup. I've got pinball loaded to get HPFS access to my OS/2 partition,
but I don't want to write to it from NT because there's no disk
checking of HPFS partitions under NT.
