[PATCH 1/1] core-image-sato.bb: increase free space size

[Qi.Chen]

From: Chen Qi <Qi.Chen@windriver.com>

Sato images, by default, have about 100M free space. This is not enough
and it blocks automatic testing.

This patch fixes this problem by overriding the IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR
in the sato image recipe.

roughly 100M -> 300M.
smart automatic testing will use over 90M. see 
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4109 for more details.

IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR defaults to 1.3.

Thanks,

You should make this overridable by the user:
   IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR ?= "2.0"

Yes. You're right.
And we can use "??=" in bitbake.conf.
A new patch set has been sent out.

If a particular build needs more disk space, you can also use
IMAGE_ROOTFS_EXTRA_SPACE in local.conf, i.e.:

IMAGE_ROOTFS_EXTRA_SPACE = "524288"

(that's add 500MB)

I think Chen wants a more permanent solution so automatic testing can
work out of box. Maybe a fixed extra size would be better for this
case but needs to be done in the image in either case.
