Re: [yocto] Creating a EXT4 rootfs instead of EXT3: How?

2014-01-08 Thread Nick D'Ademo
Thanks for the reply Nicolas.

It seems the problem is that .hddimg uses EXT3 by default (after looking at
image_types.bbclass).

The ROOTFS type for my build is set in
/meta/conf/machine/include/ia32-base.inc: IMAGE_FSTYPES += live

Is there a way to make the HDDIMG use EXT4 instead?

Thanks,
Nick

 1. Tried adding ROOTFSTYPE ?= *ext4* to the machine .conf file


 the variable name is IMAGE_FSTYPES, not ROOTFSTYPES.


 2. Ensured EXT4 is enabled in the Linux kernel (using menuconfig)


 this would not impact the image generation, only at runtime when mounting
 the rootfs



 This is a build for the Intel NUC hardware.

 Anyone have any ideas on how to do this?

yeah, you're right. ext3 is pretty much hard coded there (and in
image-live.bbclass)

 /meta/conf/machine/include/ia32-base.inc: IMAGE_FSTYPES += live

i don't know if there is a technical reason why ext3 is being hardcoded.
right now it doesn't seem possible to easily use ext4.
