Hello,
I am working on a custom platform where U-Boot will be programmed into
an SPI NOR flash device and the ext4 file systems will be in a removable
microSD card. The Linux kernel itself will be stored in the /boot
directory of the root file system.
The customer wants the (16GB) microSD card formatted as 1GB to mount at
/ and the remaining 15GB mounted as /home.
In the recipe for my image I have defined the following to try to create
a suitable image for writing to the microSD card:
IMAGE_FSTYPES_append = " wic"
IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE = “1048576”
The image file that is being created is bigger than 1GB even though the
root file system is only a little over 450MB. Looking at the contents
of what gets written to the microSD card this looks as though it is, in
part, because it also includes the ~20MB “boot” partition containing the
boot files.
A couple of questions…
How do I stop the wic generation process including the FAT formatted
“boot” partition?
What is the best strategy for partitioning / formatting / mounting the
second partition as /home? Should it be part of the image build process
or a one-time task run at first boot?
-Andy.
