Re: [Astlinux-devel] Not enough free space for new firmware on the RUNNIX partition.

[David K. <da...@ke...>]

Answering my own question... thanks to the magic of VMware I was able to
attach my test vmdk image to another running astlinux VM and inside that
run fsck.fat -a /dev/sdb1 (where it was attached) and that cleaned up the
"dirty bit".  Then I could delete 150MB of "recovered" files and now I am
back in business.
