Controlling APP size partition JetPack 5.1.2

Hi all,

I am trying to flash JetPack 5.1.2 via sdkmanager onto my Jetson Xavier AGX Devkit. No matter what I do the root partition is always only 30 GB. I have installed a 1TB SSD so I would like to use all of it.

When flashing previous jetsons like the Xavier NX there was always an option to control the app size on first boot. However after setting up a user on that interface it goes straight to finalizing system installation.

I have tried editing p2972-0000.conf.common as described in Root File System — Jetson Linux Developer Guide documentation :

ROOTFSSIZE=200GiB;

but the device fails to flash when using sudo ./nvsdkmanager_flash.sh --storage nvme0n1p1:

Any ideas?

Hi,

please either check this post:

Or flash manually like:

sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --external-device nvme0n1p1 -c ./tools/kernel_flash/flash_l4t_external.xml  --showlogs --network usb0 jetson-agx-xavier-devkit internal

Hi Dave,

Replacing the .xml filename did not work but thankfully the second command you posted worked like a charm. After booting in I was able to select the proper size I wanted.

Thank you for the quick response.

Hey!
I am also trying to reflash my Jetson Agx Xavier device to use the NVMe drive(installed SSD) as the rootfs.

Now I saw you also did thing and worked.

So, can you give me a brief steps how to do it?

Thank you~
