Re: Freeing space

... more space to install plugins?

hi,

gianni253 proposes a solution here

__http://www.sl-forums.com/forum/299702-post8.html

basically

ln -s /myremotehdd /var/bin/plugin

( with a -s for symbolic )
--

if needed, here some info about symlinks (ln -s) :




man ln

NAME
ln - make links between files

SYNOPSIS
ln [OPTION]... [-T] TARGET LINK_NAME (1st form)
ln [OPTION]... TARGET (2nd form)
ln [OPTION]... TARGET... DIRECTORY (3rd form)
ln [OPTION]... -t DIRECTORY TARGET... (4th form)

DESCRIPTION
In the 1st form, create a link to TARGET with the name LINK_NAME. In the 2nd form, create a link to TARGET in the current directory. In the 3rd and 4th forms,
create links to each TARGET in DIRECTORY. Create hard links by default, symbolic links with --symbolic. When creating hard links, each TARGET must exist.
Symbolic links can hold arbitrary text; if later resolved, a relative link is interpreted in relation to its parent directory.

Re: Freeing space

Thanks aplok, this looks useful.
But what is the plugins path for enigma2?

Another question: do I have to move all plugins to the new links or both paths will work?

Re: Freeing space

.. do I have to move all plugins to the new links or ...

or file
or files
or dir
or dirs

what ever you want
linux can make it

just ask him gently


with my e1, i have plugins here

/var/bin
/var/tuxbox/plugins

so you can ln an entire dir:

ln -s /remote/hdd/sat/var/bin /var/bin
ln -s /path/var/tuxbox/plugins /var/tuxbox/plugins

or a file

ln -s /path/var/tuxbox/plugins/CCcaminfo.so /var/tuxbox/plugins/CCcaminfo.so

with accurate access

chmod -R 755 /path/var/tuxbox/plugins/CCcaminfo.so
chmod -R 755 /remote/hdd/sat/var/bin

Re: Freeing space

It worked!

I unzipped the ipk and found which directories files are installed to. Then created links there.

Thank you very much!
