Description Tom Zanussi 2014-02-06 18:33:05 UTC 
For the wic tool, with large images, for example sdk images, populate-extfs.sh produces the same kind of output as seen here:

https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/yocto/2013-November/017420.html

e.g.:

Allocated inode: 15264
copy_file: Could not allocate block in ext2 filesystem
debugfs: sif "libgio-2.0.so.0.3800.1" mode 0x81ed

The below says it is a problem with e2fsprogs and would be fixed, but it doesn't appear it was fixed, and there's no bug report for it:

We use the "mke2fs -d" to instead of populate-extfs.sh to fix this issue:
