On the YAMJ trail firmwares kawakinho's original trick doesn't work anymore.

My solution: take some space from /usr/local/etc and move it to /:
XML fragment:

<image type="yaffs2">
<fileName>package2/yaffs2_1.img</fileName>
<mountPoint>/</mountPoint>
<sizeBytesMin>0x5500000</sizeBytesMin>
</image>
<image type="yaffs2">
<fileName>package2/usr.local.etc.tar.bz2</fileName>
<mountPoint>/usr/local/etc</mountPoint>
<sizeBytesMin>0x400000</sizeBytesMin>
</image>

Result of "df" on r3286:
Code:
Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root                84480     77252      7228  91% /
/dev/mtdblock/2           4096      1336      2760  33% /usr/local/etc

I tried this setting with firmware3400 but the /dev/root is still 100%.

I used this procedure on 3643 just now and successfully installed optware on it (using my own script).
I did see some very minor issues (in my install script) which I corrected.

Hi All, I have the same problem with this message.
I have a realtek 1073DD Multimedia player, which comes with a poor firmware which is posted here as "oldfw"
http://www.sirakusa.com/public/fw/oldfw.rar
and i have a new firmware that i want to upgrade to, and this is called "newfw", posted here:
http://www.sirakusa.com/public/fw/newfw.rar
IN the process of upgrading from oldfw to newfw i got the answer "not enough space for yaffs", how can i deal with that ?

Looking at the numbers in the config file & unyaffed image, you're combined minimum byte size is larger than anything I've seen. Maybe you're running out of available flash (you aren't permitted to use all 256 mbs, you know....)

Two solutions:
1. remove the <sizeBytesMin>...... </sizeBytesMin> (from the yaffs2_1 section and /usr/local/etc section) lines from your configuration.xml file and see if the firmware will flash without any minimums in place. If it will, then your firmware isn't too big for your flash, which is a good thing. If that work you can go to step 2 and get a little more free space.
2. use more reasonable numbers in the <sizeBytesMin>...... </sizeBytesMin> line.
for the yaff2_1, use:
<sizeBytesMin>0x8e00000</sizeBytesMin>
for the /usr/local/etc use
<sizeBytesMin>0x500000</sizeBytesMin>

But really, try step 1 first to make sure this firmware will work at all, then futz with the partition sizes.

Please post your findings,

Great, thanks

The firmware upgraded just simply deleting the minbytes information

I still have to do the step 2 but it works now
thanks again
