This is a known issue in 0.9. the switch from ipk to rpm leaves some temporary files in the final ext3 rootfs, which results the large size. > > Can I reduce the size of the image, or is it expected to be this size? > > I've tried changing > > IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE_ext3 = "500000" This configuration option only works when it exceeds the size of generated rootfs, or else it will be changed implicitly to the actual size plus some extra buffer > > in atom-pc.conf to another value, but this didn't make any > difference to the image that gets created (by re-running bitbake poky- > image-minimal after making the above change). > > I've also tried using > > ROOT_FLASH_SIZE = "64" > > also without any luck. > > Any help would be much appreciated ! > I'd suggest you to use the master to see whether it works for you. The alternative is to apply below commit to your 0.9 code: commit 5e384038cbd5035377d61a1b77ad23ab69e0cac0 Author: Richard Purdie <[email protected]> Date: Wed Jan 5 18:56:47 2011 +0000 rootfs_rpm.bbclass: Remove temporary work files in install directory, saving work files in install directory, saving the manifests as logfiles into ${T} Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <[email protected]> diff --git a/meta/classes/rootfs_rpm.bbclass b/meta/classes/rootfs_rpm.bbclass index 33abe96..2f7d691 100644 --- a/meta/classes/rootfs_rpm.bbclass +++ b/meta/classes/rootfs_rpm.bbclass @@ -202,8 +202,11 @@ EOF # remove lock files rm -f ${IMAGE_ROOTFS}${rpmlibdir}/__db.* - # remove resolver files and manifests - rm -f ${IMAGE_ROOTFS}/install/install.manifest + # Move manifests into the directory with the logs + mv ${IMAGE_ROOTFS}/install/*.manifest ${T}/ + + # Remove all remaining resolver files + rm -f ${IMAGE_ROOTFS}/install log_check rootfs Thanks Kevin _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list [email protected] https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
