How to increase cache partition ( or any partition ) on Ubuntu Touch phone? Question.
-
From terminal even...
I don't know... Mine shows
/dev/disk/by-partlabel/cache 679M 768K 664M 1% /android/cache -
@mihael for some reason it did not change/save even after I saved id with w and rebooted and formated the cache ???

I'm sorry, I really don't know... Maybe it's some linux issue that someone with more experience could shed light upon...
-
What does
df -hfrom twrp console show? -
@mihael Did you do it on the phone TWRP terminal or via adb? I mean the whole repartitioning. Cos I have used adb shell for it.
-
@mihael /dev/disk/by-partlabel/cache 496M 4.2M 482M 1% /android/cache
-
@Stefano I believe I did it through ssh...
-
@mihael I give it a try again later, maybe I'll figure it out. (will try with TWRP terminal as well)
-
Let me know...

@mihael I managed to do it. The problem was that I did not format the newly created partitions properly and did not change the names of them as I did not seen such an option in fdisk , but, there is an expert menu under ,x, and there is option to rename. After I renamed it, I format it and now it shows partition 43 = 723m, so I think that should suffice. Will try now to flash 16.04 now, we'll see what happens now! Thank you a lot for your help.
Edit. It flashed 16.04 without failing in recovery

@Stefano Wonderful!!! Thank you too for all your posts!
