The smart downloads repodata_filelists.xml, repodata_filelists.xml and other files, these files need around 90M space. 3. start the qemumips-sato again, execute df -h, it has 0 free space. 4. Do other tests, many of them will failed because no free space lift. Same issue happend on qemuppc-sato. So I suggest to increase the qemu free space. =========test log=============== start a qemumips-sato, execute df -h, it has 91.5M free space. root@qemumips:~# df -h Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/root 373.9M 263.4M 91.5M 74% / devtmpfs 58.4M 4.0K 58.4M 0% /dev tmpfs 40.0K 0 40.0K 0% /mnt/.psplash tmpfs 58.6M 184.0K 58.4M 0% /var/volatile tmpfs 58.6M 0 58.6M 0% /media/ram after run smart test, it will use 87.7M space. root@qemumips:/var/lib/smart# du -sh 87.6M . root@qemumips:/var/lib/smart/channels# ls -l -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 42420977 Mar 26 07:05 myrpmmd%%http:__192.168.7.1_rpmrepo_qemumips_repodata_filelists.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3772550 Mar 26 01:49 myrpmmd%%http:__192.168.7.1_rpmrepo_qemumips_repodata_filelists.xml.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29450004 Mar 26 07:05 myrpmmd%%http:__192.168.7.1_rpmrepo_qemumips_repodata_primary.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4059596 Mar 26 01:49 myrpmmd%%http:__192.168.7.1_rpmrepo_qemumips_repodata_primary.xml.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 951 Mar 26 01:49 myrpmmd%%http:__192.168.7.1_rpmrepo_qemumips_repodata_repomd.xml After run smart test, execute df -h, it has 0 free space. root@qemumips:~# df -h Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/root 373.9M 373.9M 0 100% / devtmpfs 58.4M 4.0K 58.4M 0% /dev tmpfs 40.0K 0 40.0K 0% /mnt/.psplash tmpfs 58.6M 176.0K 58.4M 0% /var/volatile tmpfs 58.6M 0 58.6M 0% /media/ram 31288 1 Qi.Chen 2013-03-29 09:36:36 +0000 The image size is determined by the initial IMAGE_ROOTFS size and the IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR which defaults to 1.3. meta/conf/bitbake.conf:IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR ?= "1.3" Two solutions to solve this problem. 1. Resize the ext3 file locally For example, if we want to add 100M to core-image-sato.ext3 image, we could use the following commands. dd if=/dev/zero of=core-image-sato.ext3 bs=1M count=100 oflag=append conv=notrunc e2fsck -f core-image-sato.ext3 resize2fs core-image-sato.ext3 2. override IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR in core-image-sato.bb file IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR = "2.0" I'll send out a patch using solution 2. This problem will obviously occur to all sato images and block automatic testing, so these's enough reason to do so. Any comment or suggestion is welcome. //Chen Qi 31465 2 sgw 2013-04-03 17:58:13 +0000 I understand what you are trying to do here, do the tests clean-up after they run? I am a little hesitant to add so much additional space, we have 2 conflicting goals with the size of the image. 1) Show a compact example with graphical interface (not bloat-ware or full desktop). 2) Use it for automated testing with enough space for running the tests. 32257 3 yi.zhao 2013-04-17 02:23:40 +0000 Now We use a small smart repository. Now the index file reduce to a small size. The test can pass.
