You have to add zeros to the end of it via dd (be careful) and then call resize_reiserfs or resize2fs. > udevd-event[1220]: node_symlink: symlink(pty/s112, /dev/ttyw0) failed: No > space > left on device > udevd-event[1221]: udev_node_mknod: mknod(/dev/pty/s113, 020660, 3, 113) > failed: > No space left on device > One issue that is a little cloudy is whether a root image needs to be an > image of a file system or an image of a disk with partition table, > partitions containing file systems.
