According to this in image.bbclass, the size should end up with 20% free
space (IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR = 1.2) regardless.

ROOTFS_SIZE=`du -ks ${IMAGE_ROOTFS}|awk '{size = $1 * ${IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR}; print (size > ${IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE} ? size : ${IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE}) }'`

But in any case, IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE_ext3 seems to be getting ignored -
the only way I was able to get a 1G image was to use the straight
IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE e.g. using

IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE ?= "1000000"

instead of

IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE_ext3 = "2000000"

in emenlow.conf.  The image sizes before and after:

-rw-r--r--   1 trz trz  582105088 2011-03-22 01:58 poky-image-sato-live-emenlow-20110322065226.hddimg
-rw-r--r--   1 trz trz  581939200 2011-03-22 01:58 poky-image-sato-live-emenlow-20110322065226.iso

But 1000000 is half of what the default is supposed to in the first
place - if it was working correctly, it should have gotten 2Gb by
default apparently...
