What I did in the article is for the OpenBrick-E. The OpenBrick-E has 256M RAM in the default configuration, compared to the 128M RAM OpenBrick. My next step would be to uncompress the cloop- based filesystem and mount its entirety on the tempfs. Next, I would be able to upgrade it on the fly. The only limit is the size of the ramdisk, which is 256M for the OpenBrick-E. Then, I just have to compress it again into the a clooped filesystem and to store it on the compactflash. I do have a long to-do list, before it will be ready to be packaged. Personally, I don't think it is safe to mount the compactflash as the "live" root filesystem. It is not designed to have that many write-cycles as a regular hard disk. So, even with a larger size compactflash, what we are doing will still be valuable contributions. Thanks.
