Complete HOW-TO Linux Mint 18.1 32/64 RTAI or PREEMPT with RIP install or deb

As long as you have permissions to the other drive you will probably be ok. I'm not really a Linux expert but I think if you go back to the first post, you should be able to create the linuxcnc-dev folder on the new drive (the name is arbitrary), you should be able to git clone into that folder.

Alternatively see if you can relocate the home folders onto the new drive (but I don't know enough about Linux to tell you how). That would probably be a better long term fix.

30 gb seems to be an awful lot of room to need though. Did you partition the drive to use all of the space? Maybe you are not using all of the drive.

The output of 'df -h' is below, it looks like what ever '/dev/mmcblk0p2' is, is taking all my space...

Can you tell me what is going on?

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /dev
tmpfs 376M 6.2M 369M 2% /run
/dev/mmcblk0p2 25G 24G 756K 100% /
tmpfs 1.9G 32M 1.9G 2% /dev/shm
tmpfs 5.0M 4.0K 5.0M 1% /run/lock
tmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/mmcblk0p1 511M 3.4M 508M 1% /boot/efi
cgmfs 100K 0 100K 0% /run/cgmanager/fs
tmpfs 376M 48K 376M 1% /run/user/1000

I think that /dev/mmcblk0p2 is a partition

It is possible that your system isn't seeing that part of the disk.

I am unable to give much advice, disk partitioning is a bit of a mystery to me.

Getting closer...
I keep running out of space on a 30g drive. When I start the drive had 16g free.

During 'make -j4 deb-pkg' it never finishes due to space issues. The drivers folder is over 8g is that right? Is there a way to install drivers later?

Why bother with making the deb package then? Just use run in place (RIP). I have never bothered to build the debs.

If you are running master branch RIP makes more sense because its easy to pull down the latest version and recompile if somebody fixes a bug.

Finally I could get set up my Intel Atom d425 to work with linuxcnc with an latency about a 24k, I installed Debian 7,8 y 9, but the latency reach up to 100k more a less. Finally I choosed Lubuntu 16.04 and my computer run very well and it detect the graphics card without troubles. I followed up the option 3 and with some fix about some dependencies now it is work so good.

May be this isn't best number, but it is the best number that I'm obtained and my step generator woks fine.

thank you for your time.
