I was expecting all of the excess storage to be allocated to /mnt/data in the rootOS, so that it could be made available to services (containers) but it looks like it’s only 1GB.

Am I missing something? I flashed it with the latest download for the Fin.

Hi @jgentes,

That is odd. I have a fin flashed and it was expanded correctly. Do you happen to have any custom setup in terms of the OS? Maybe running the data partition from an external drive? If not, can you share with us the exact steps how to reproduce this, with versions and anything that might be relevant?

As well, you can open a support ticket to take a closer look at the device.

Regards,  
Andrei

We just took it out of the box and flashed it with the latest balenaOS, which said 2.29.2 but the device shows it is running 2.12.3+rev1 with supervisor 7.1.14. So something is odd.

Here’s the filename: balena-cloud-cellmateDev-fincm3-2.29.2+rev2-dev-v9.0.1.img

I just flashed a dashboard downloaded image: balena-cloud--fincm3-2.29.2+rev7-v9.0.1.img.zip. The device came online and you can see that it has full disk available on data partition and also advertises the right version:

What compute module are you using?

Could you also expand on how exactly you flashed the board? Did you get any errors while doing that?
