4GB image does not fit on SD-card

[Martin Wagner]

Hi Anders,
trying to write the 4GB image to a 4GB-SD card I stumbled again in the does-not-fit-problem.
Does anybody else have the same problem?
Is there a way to shrink it to 3.7 GB by myself? Or could you provide a reduced size image?
Thanks,
Martin

P.S.: No hurry, for the moment I can live with the 2GB image instead.

Hi Martin

On some cards I have this problem on others I don’t. But as you say yourself just use the 2GB if you run into this issue. I think at some point we will reduce the download to just one size – to confusing with all these sizes

as the EV3 flash got just 256 kB – for what purpose is a 4GB SD image designed for anyway?
Does it affect the performance opposite to, e.g., a 1 GB image?
As I only got 16GB SDHC cards – would there be a meaningful use for the unused space?

Hi Helmut

Just means that you have more “disk” space… it has nothing to do with performance.

would there be a meaningful use for the unused space?

No
