I apparently have the wrong version of arch. Well not version as much as wrong image dated file. Mine was 2013-7-22. The partition is kinda messing me up. I know I can't partition as you did with 3 partitions.
[root@alarmpi ~]# fdisk -ls

I think but can't be sure that /dev/mmcblk0p5 is the one I want to delete and recreate. I am a little confused by the extended and Linux partitions using the same space. It looks wrong to me to have two partitions sharing space.
Yeah I never updated that did I
I actually have one of these sitting on an SD card on an RPi next to me (switched off) that I've not got around to resizing.
p5 is inside p2
Let me think ... I'm pretty sure it is:
so you need to remember both 186368 and 188416
delete them both
create a new extended p2 from 186368 to the end
then create a new Linux partition p5 from 188416 to the end
then continue as before. Edit: no I should say, resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p5
Let me know how it goes then I'll add it to the blog.
It worked great. I didn't go to the end. I wanted to make a swap partition but it is incomplete. Both deleted, Recreated one at a time, extended to the calculated last sector then the Linux partition to the end of the extended partition. Restart, no FS crash, and resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p5 seems to have worked. Shows up as 6% used on the root partition.
One small thing. I had raspbian some semblance of running and I could use all 17 devices I have. Granted it lasted 1 hour to 3 minutes between crashes. On arch using all the same hardware I can only detect 13. The other 4 have been put on my dvr for now.
I have hub A attatched to the lower port on raspberry pi, Hub B on hub A port 1, Hub C on hub A port 3 one port doesn't work here.
Hub D is on the upper port of the raspberry pi, Hub E was hooked up to port 1 on Hub D. I have a keyboard also hooked to hub D. Everything hooked up to hub D works except if I add either the last hub or another jalapeno by itself it will not detect. Nothing comes up, no errors, no found devices, nothing.
I am curious does arch have less USB devices it can handle? I don't mind as I plan on running 8 per pi but I have to buy a couple more first. So far arch seems much more stable. Less GUI but much more stable.
