Richard, This is an updated set of changes for the Build Appliance to use directdisk. I am submitting this even as I am finding out that there is an issue with genext2fs building Large FS Size (5GB and greater).
The other option is to add a newer version of dosfstools, which is not fully vetted yet, but may allow us to use bootimg instead of driectdisk. Please review and comment the builder, image-vmdk and boot-directdisk patches ready to go, the VMDK, update for directdisk is questionable until we can solve the large image issues. Sau! The following changes since commit 647595821870693186c9ecad1bdfa12fe4ea334d: core-image-minimal-mtdutils.bb: Simple DESCRIPTION grammar fix.
