Having used QNX a while i’ve come to a point where my
initial virtual filesystem is full. When installing QNX
from windows I though that the initial 600Mb I choosed
for the QNX filesystem file was going to be enough for
playing around with QNX for a while. But I got hooked
by QNX so 600Mb is way far from enough, so now I need
to expand this this initial file system file to say 2Gb
or something.
The QNX filesystem is located on a windows partition
in a file d:\program files\qnx\boot\root.qfs . Is there
any way to extend the size of this file ?

The “only way” I can think of is:
-
Boot into windows, rename root.qfs to root_save.qfs.
-
Looking to d:\program files\qnx\boot\bin, there used
to have some binary (dinit.exe ?) to create “.qfs”
file.
-
use this binary to create a larger “root.qfs” at same
place.
-
boot back into RTP, now you have a large root file
system, all you need to do is
mount /fs/hd0-dos/program files/qnx/boot/root_save.qfs /oldroot
and then move all files in /oldroot to your new root.
- Now you can delete “root_save.qfs”.
