[Issue] No space left after fresh install

Hi, I just installed postmarketos on my OnePlus 6 and after an update of the packages (or install a new one), I get "no space left" errors. I followed the guide and flashed the partition like it's written in it. Any reason that can cause this ?

OnePlus 6 with 128gb, using the prebuilt sxmo (sway) edge image.

You need to expand the filesystem to use your whole card.

There are several tutorials out there, and I couldn’t really settle on the best one to link you. Google “sd resize2fs” and read through several until you find one that makes sense to you.
- Is it the same thing as adding free space to pmbootstrap while doing manual installation ?
  
  I’m honestly not sure. It sounds similar.
  
  df -h
  
  Should give you an idea of how much space you actually have. If your disk size is way lower than its capacity, then the partition needs to be expanded.
I encountered same problem because I used

pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs

instead of

pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs --partition userdata
- That wasn't the problem. Seems like currently (might be fixed now) edge IMG aren't using the whole phone size. I had to use a trick with btrfs to have the full size
The bug gets tracked in https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/issues/2299, and a fix is being developed. Workarounds are mentioned in that issue. The download page has been updated to mention this and link to the issue in the meantime.
