Hi BananaBro69
I see nothing wrong here. The size of your device is 8 GB and
it's partitioned as an 8 GB device.

According to the image in your reply #8, Your device has 172.4 MB
of data on it and 7.7 GB are free.

... if i make a partition 8 GB, Because of the Ramdisk i can only use 3-4 GB. ...
What makes you think you can only use 3-4 GB of sda1?

Well, i didn’t say it could only use 3-4 Gigabytes of sda1. i said that if core.gz was too big to uncompress into ram, i wouldn’t be able to use more than my RAM has. i could make /home and /opt persistent to lower the RAM usage, but if the files not on /home or /opt get too big, they won’t be able to fit on the RAM filesystem. But if i find out how to also make all big folders persistent, that will fix the problem. that’s why i made this topic. So i could find out how to make all
(if not, most) of the Filesystem persistent, instead of temporary.
