I'm trying to increase the size of the pseudo disk used by Qemu.
The variable IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE sets this. If I add
IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE_ext3=512000
to conf/local.conf, I get what I want.
So why doesn't this work (without any changes to local.conf)?
IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE_ext3=512000 bitbake core-image-sato

The IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE variable is cleaned from the environment.
Variables which can be set from the shell at invocation are defined in
BB_ENV_WHITELIST and BB_ENV_EXTRAWHITE.
Does something like:
BB_ENV_EXTRAWHITE="IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE $BB_ENV_EXTRAWHITE"
IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE_ext3=512000 bitbake core-image-sato
do what you want?

Sadly, no. I tried both
IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE_ext3=512000 bitbake core-image-sato
and
IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE=512000 bitbake core-image-sato
and I just get the default size image.
