Folks,
I’m trying to install EXTROOT on my Spitz X750v2 (firmware version 3.217) using this guide:
When I run the ‘opkg install’ command, I get the following error message:
opkg install parted
opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package parted.
It looks like the ‘parted’ package is not part of the pacakages.gz file? I did read several similar posts on installing EXTROOT, but did not see any solutions?
Is it not possible to install EXTROOT on the Spitz X750v2? Thanks.

It appears that the package parted is missing for a long time.GL.iNet download center
I updated the router to V4 as I got frustrated waiting for parted to be in V3.217.
I have run the Extroot procedure OK in V4.3.6.

Thanks for the quick reply. I am reluctant to run beta firmware on a device I use regularly.

Guess that’s the only way to get EXTROOT running since parted isn’t available in the repos right now.

Admon,
Sounds good. I might do a backup of my current configuration and test the beta firmware. Thanks for confirming that I wasn’t overlooking/missing something.

The beta is mostly stable enough to be used. And you can go back all the time, if you like to.

Frustrating…upgraded to beta. Ran out of space trying to install EXTROOT on new firmware without installing LUCI.

Going to try to remove a couple packages and see if I can then install EXTROOT.

Theodopolus, bring.fringe18,
EXCELLENT! I was able to install and get EXTROOT to work on my GL-X750V@ following your instructions and suggestions. I used F2FS as the file system. Thank you!!!

Congratulations! May all your opkg install be swift.
