Filesystem size limits

Hi,

So i was trying to add some linux functionality to wombat (binutils),  
but when disk image is generated (via genext2fs), i'm not able to as  
genext2fs keeps complaining about how there are no more blocks for  
allocation. I have since discovered that the file system has a hard  
limit of only 8MB. Is there any way of getting around this at all?

Hi,

In your build command line (./tools/build.py), simply add
"LINUX_ROOTFS_SIZE=xxx" (number of blocks) in order to specify the
file system image size you want to use
(http://wiki.ok-labs.com/BuildOptions).

Where did you find the 8MB limit ?

By default, image size is about 5,5MB (same as if you specified
"LINUX_ROOTFS_SIZE=5600")... I tried LINUX_ROOTFS_SIZE=20000 and i got
a image size of about 20MB... and it seems to works well.

hope this helps,
Damien
