Installation Settings (Download button) -> scroll down -> find image size menu -> change it
You must set img install mode

I have installed it already with 2GB size and in installation type = file.Now I am out of space. I changed the setting you mentioned , image size = 4096 , however still the image file is of only 2 GB. I don't want to install again from fresh.

any hint please !!!!

For FAT maximum image size 4095 MB.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry but I need some clarity.

I have installed Archlinux with file size = 2048 and type = auto. Now complete 2Gb is used and I want to increase size to 4Gb of existing installation. I change size to 4095 and start. But still the file remains 2GB. How can i make it 4GB , thanks in advance.

LD is not supported increase size of image file. New image file will be created at the new installation.
For example, manually increase size of file /mnt/sdcard/linux.img on 3000 MB:

dd if=/dev/zero bs=1048576 count=3000 >> /mnt/sdcard/linux.img
e2fsck -f /mnt/sdcard/linux.img
resize2fs /mnt/sdcard/linux.img

heartbreaking :( Lot of effort lost.
Ok will try a new installation !!!!

Hi

It looks like I can use those commands to resize the image? But where do I run them? In Terminal Emulator in Android? Or do I have to copy the image to a Linux system, then run them on the image, then move it back?

My external SD card is exFAT formatted, so it supports large file sizes. Can I put the image there, and thus have a large image?

Will it run slower from the external SD card than from the internal one?

Thanks in advance!

@Fiksdal , this reply might be a bit late but yes, these commands have to be run on the android device and yes, you can put the image on external storage. Just keep in mind that in android marshmallow you might need to install the "Marshmallow SD Fix" xposed module to grant linuxDeploy the permission to write to the SD Card.

Also, modern version of android use the ext4 filesystem on the internal storage, which has a file size limit of several exabytes.

Hi,
I have 10,66 Go free on my /storage/external_SD card and the linux.img of 2Go is full to 85%....
How can I boost the image size?

Here is what I get on a terminal:
sudo losetup /dev/loop0
/dev/loop0: [0021]:3089275592 (/storage/external_SD/linux.img

Thanks,

@jfhub You must recreate system image file (reinstall)

Thanks for answering,
I did that, but was unable to go up to 8Go, as I wanted. I setup for 4Go.
Regards,
Jack

@jfhub MicroSD FAT32 format is single file limit 4 GB

I have already downloaded Linux img file. It's 5.56gb after extracting and I installed it via reconfigure using Linux deploy. I am using ext sd card as ROM and installed Linux in ext sd card. But I couldn't upgrade it because of low disk space. So what should I do to increase the I'm size and solve the problem?
