Re: [RFC PATCH] base-files: Increase /var/volatile size

[Karthik Ramanan <a0393906@ti.com>]

I thought we all agreed on this.

Franklin mentioned that he didn't have a problem with bumping this to 50MB.

And just to add, I have been overlaying this patch on our nightly builds 
and its been well tested for the last two weeks. This size looks good to 
me atleast for now and satisfies all our usecase requirements.

Regards
Karthik
