Hi,
Currently I am playing around wth an app called "Linux deploy" which creates
an chrooted Linux environment.
Due to storage space constraints, I've put the Linux system on the external
storage (SDcard).
Linux deploy creates a file on the SDcard containing the ext4 filesystem,
put all files of the Linux system into it, mounts the file via loop device
and Voila! .... Huston, we have a running Linux.
BUT:
On a FAT32 filessystem a file cannot be larger than 4GB in size.
This is damn small for a Linux...especially when it comes to add
more applications. The installed Unix is ARCH Linux with a LXDE
desktop by the way. And only very few additions applications
are installed. gcc is missing for example. A *must* in my case...;)
Is there any way (preferable without changing androids system
files) to get Android to mount anything else than FAT32 as
Removable/MicroSD?
Or is there any other way around this?
Thank you very much in advance for any help!
Best regards,
tuxic
