Re: About more space for BBE image.

["Denys Dmytriyenko" <denis@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

You should know that /run is a tmpfs mounted filesystem, i.e it is a RAM-disk. 
Which means it is not a storage limitation, but rather a memory limitation, as 
BeagleBone and BBE only have 512 MB of RAM on board.

If you need to stora large amounts of data, you need to change the location 
and point to a storage-backed filesystem, which could reside on an SD card or 
USB-mounted hard drive.
