    Question Flashexpander , I need help !

    Hi everybody,
    I have VU+ DUO running VIX 4.1.009 with Hard Drive Fitted and Swap File and cacheflush installed. But as many know this does not solve the Flash Memory saturation problem when trying to install more than few extensions/plugins.
    After reading through many posts about this issue I decided to give Flashexpander a try.
    I did what is explained :
    - Installed a flash Disk in the rear USB port
    - Initialized and Formatted it in ext4 format
    - Downloaded and installed Flashexpander 0.33 Extension
    - Run it
    - it gave me the wizard of installing it on the USB Flash Disk, a message told me that it is transferring the flash memory or smthg in this sense, and asked to restart
    - After restart I see in the Information section that the USB is mounted in "/usr" (Hard Disk is mounted in "/media/HDD" )
    - In the Memory Information section I see that my Flash memory is still saturated (3MB free of the 101MB total capacity !
    I suppose that this means that the Flashexpander did not really transfer my "usr" directory to the Flash Disk , right?
    When I access the file system (using Samba) I still see that my usr directory is still in the root of the box and has all the extensions in there.
    Did this mean that the installation went wrong? I do check the state of Flashexpander from the plugin menu and it says it's running in the Flash Disk !
    Can anybody explain me this and how to fix it?
    thanks in advance...

    log in via telnet/ssh and in the root run
    Code:
    ls -al
    If you /usr directory is symlinked somewhere else (on the usb drive) you should see the link here, e.g.

    Code:
    lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root             9 Apr 20 16:41 hdd -> media/hdd
    drwxr-xr-x   15 root     root          1008 Apr 20 16:49 usr
    where in the example above hdd is a symlink and usr is not
