Storage Issue on Chromium

I installed and am running Chromium off of a 64 GB Flash Drive in old pc, but when I typed “chrome://quota-internals” into Chromium Chrome Browser I get:

Free Disk space for the profile directory: 280.89 MB

Where is all my storage? I should have at least 60 GB or more!

I did a search on “disk format” at http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os …

The first search result was “Disk Format Feb 28, 2015, 4:44 PM by Kevin Cernekee”

Half way down the page he says …

Bootable USB keys have the same layout, except that kernel B and rootfs B are minimal-size, and partition 1 is limited to 720M. The total USB image size is around 1.5G. When the USB image is installed on a fixed drive, the B image is duplicated from the A image, and partition 1 is made as large as possible so that the entire disk is in use.

So does this mean I have little to no storage off the usb the os is on?

Can I fix this?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Matt

Problem Playing Video Files

I installed and am running Chromium off of a 64 GB Flash Drive in old pc

I tried playing some video files and I can’t. I right clicked on the video file and tried to use the default movie player, the player window opens up, but the movie never plays, I just get a circle going around and around.

I tried downloading vlc from the chrome web store, but got a google server connection failure when it tried to download.

Can you play video files on Chromium?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Matt
