Subject: [Buildroot] Further partition creation with genimage fails
Date: Thu, 1 Feb 2018 05:57:14 -0700 (MST)	[thread overview]

Hi,
enabled loglevel 2 in genimage, 
the data.ext4 is given as a further argument to genext2fs
genext2fs -d
<DIR>/buildroot2017.11rc/pc_x86_64_efi_defconfig/output/build/genimage.tmp/root
--size-in-blocks=131072 -i 16384
<DIR>/buildroot2017.11rc/pc_x86_64_efi_defconfig/output/images/data.ext4

But as you mentioned i will not longer use the genext2fs tool, so what i
did:
Editing  board/pc/post-image.sh, added following:
/dd if=/dev/zero of=${BINARIES_DIR}/data.ext4 bs=124M count=1
mkfs.ext4 -F ${BINARIES_DIR}/data.ext4
echo "created: ${BINARIES_DIR}/data.ext4"
/

And keep just the partition data{} ]entry in the board/pc/genimage-efi.cfg:
/partition data {
    partition-type = 0x83
    image = "data.ext4"
  }/

This works fine...and no further dependency on genext2fs tool.

So i dont need BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GENEXT2FS anymore.

Regards,
AAlex
