Device loop to increase internal storage problems
by Brusca.lyfe from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5FTV6)
I'm running android 4.2.2 on a generic tablet.
My internal storage (/data) is only 0.98gb of space
My sdcard is 32gb
I created a device loop from an ext4 .img (on sdcard) that I made and mounted it on /data
Everything runs fine. Smooth and the system even recognizes that I have more storage
But for some reason every new app I install now is gone after reboot
I can reinstall it and all the data is still there but the app is gone
In terminal it shows I have 2 mounts of /data. Both reading the same amount of storage but 2 separate blocks are mounted there now
(The device loop and the special block)
Do I need to make a boot up script for the device loop or just amount the 0.98gb special block permanently?
I'm not sure how to do either. Or is there away to fix these apps not staying installed without doing either?
