10GB of storage remaining in the root 32GB. Note: If the Clara AGX Developer Kit is reflashed with a new JetPack image, the partition table of the m2 drive will not be modified and the contents of the partition will be retained. In this case the Create Partition steps can be skipped, however the Mount Partition steps should be followed again in order to remount the partition. -

SDK installation in order to partition and format the drive for use. Note: The following steps assume that the m2 drive is identified by the Clara AGX Developer Kit as /dev/sda. This is the case if no additional drives have been attached, but if other drives have been attached (such as USB drives) then the disk identifier may change. -
