Sato images, by default, have about 100M free space. This is not enough
and it blocks automatic testing.
This patch fixes this problem by setting the default value of
IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR to "2.0" in the sato image recipe.
We need to think hard about this one, we have a couple of conflicting
interests here with the amount of space.
The Poky distro and core-image-sato are examples of for the community
and developers to use, we want to set good examples where ever possible.
One of the intentions of core-image-sato is to show a compact image with
a graphical user interface, so having a minimal, but usable amount of
free space is important. We don't want someone new to look at this and
see a large image as it might put them off the project without
understanding the tune-ability. This is an embedded environment, not a
desktop with a large disk, we want to share that message.
Another goal of the Poky distro is to create something that is testable
and automated testing is important part of this. I read the bug report
and commented on it as well. Is there a way to clean-up after the
tests? Are single tests consuming the 100M available? Is it slowly
accumulating tmp space?
What other options can we do here? Do we need to consider a different
image for testing? Or build 2 images similarly one with extra space?
We need to think about the different scenarios and usage.
Thanks
Sau!
