Parke,

Thanks much, you are correct!  I simply did:

mount -o remount,size=300M /

...and my root file system grew to 300M!  Of course this is temporary, so next I'll work on making it permanent.

Thanks for your help!

I don't know if the root fs is of type tmpfs.

If it is tmpfs, then you can:  mount -o remount and change the size.

The syntax might be something like: mount - o remount,size=2g

If that works, please post an update to the Alpine list.

Cheers,
