While I do have spinning rust drives of a terrabyte on both of those credit card sized machines, functioning as swaps and work areas, they are still booting and running from a 32GB sd chip disk. Which means any docs installed still are installed on the root filesystem, and on that 32GB sd drive. But those are also the problem children. df says one is 25% used, the other is 31% used. It was suggested by apt that I install devhelp, which I did on the rock64, but failed on the pi because I have pinned the realtime kernel on it, needed to run linuxcnc. I hope to eventually install an rtai patched kernel on the rock64 so I can make a few passes at building the pi's spi driver, which is part of linuxcnc and which 5 to 500 times faster than the kernel's own spi driver. I can write 4 byte packets on the severely i/o crippled pi whose spi doesn't have to go thru the builtin usb hub to get to the spi, over a 1" cable, at 41 megabaud, and read the responses from the i/o card at 25 megabaud. Putting a rock64 on that elderly Sheldon lathe, to replace the pi with its penchant for dropping keyboard and mouse events on the floor, will be one heck of an improvement. Try that on the linux spi.ko driver and record the speeds obtained on a digital scope. Very enlightening. :) If I fill it up and crash, well, theres even 128GB sd memories available, at a price of course. :) Thank you David.
