Increase /var/config size on Conduit 300 – GW Developer kit

[Lawrence Griffiths]

Hi I’m wanting to test AWS-iot on Node-RED on Conduit 300 – GW Developer kit device.

The issue is node-red-contrib-aws is dependant on aws-sdk which is whopping 64mb.

/var/config has only 27MB
/dev/mmcblk1p4 27M 1.3M 24M 5% /var/config

Is there a way to increase storage for custom nodes?

Thanks
Lawrence

Hello Lawrence,

On the Conduit 300 there is a partition located in the file system at /var/persistent. This is a much larger partition, and it has the bonus that it does not get erased on upgrade, much like the /var/config. The intent of the /var/persistent area is to provide a larger area than /var/config.

Thank You,

Jeff
