Thanks, got it, I will send the following 2 to ext mailing list if you are
fine with them.
[PATCH 1/4] e2fsprogs: the max length of debugfs argument is too short
[PATCH 2/4] e2fsprogs: let debugfs do sparse copy

Thanks,

Hi Darren,
No, I haven't sent them to the ext mailing list, can we merge them in
oe-core and then back port to the ext community ? Or I should send them
to the ext mailing list first ?

* The benefits:
- Really support ext4
- Support the sparse file (the sparse file became into the common file
before)
- Have a uniform code for ext2/3/4 generation
- Remove the depends on genext2fs-native
* Impact
- Build time:
a) If we build fresh core-image-sato, there is nearly no impact.
b) If we do the image generation, which means:
$ bitbake core-image-sato
$ bitbake core-image-sato -ccleansstate
$ bitbake core-image-sato
About 50 extra seconds are needed, here is my test result:
Before the patches: 4m25s
After the patches: 5m17s
This is because the genext2fs is much faster than the
populate-extfs.sh, we will replace this script by the mke2fs when it
supports create the filesystem from a initial directory.
- Disk space (take core-image-sato as an example)
a) The image file size is the same as before (529M)
b) The disk usage is a little different: (du -sh)
before now
ext2: 364M 388M
ext3: 381M 404M
ext4: 380M 387M
We may need to adjust the IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR from 1.3 to 1.4.
I have done some simple runtime testing on core-image-sato and
core-image-minimal, they worked well.
