[PATCH 0/1] Fix for self-hosted-image v2

[PATCH 0/1] Fix for self-hosted-image v2

[Paul Eggleton]

Simplified version of previous patch to decrease reserved space in
ext3 image. It turns out no additional variable really needs to be
introduced into image_types.bbclass, although this does mean running
tune2fs twice.

Note that this patch should be applied on top of Saul's recent
self-hosted-image patch once that is merged.

The following changes since commit 7c794db563cc35f6deaab1dd0fef35015d47e567:

  self-hosted-image: Increase space for build and allow builder user sudo access (2012-04-04 16:16:27 +0100)

[PATCH 1/1] self-hosted-image: decrease reserved space to 0.5%

[Paul Eggleton]

The default amount of reserved space for ext2/3 is 5% - this amounts to
about 2GB of a 40GB filesystem that the builder user can't make use of.
We don't need this much reserved so peg it back to 0.5% which should be
more than enough.

Re: [PATCH 1/1] self-hosted-image: decrease reserved space to 0.5%

[Cui, Dexuan]

Hi Paul,
This reminds me of something slightly similar:
Can we enable the -z option of genext2fs in IMAGE_CMD_ext3()?
For a 40G image, this would save the building host many giga bytes, and make the conversion "from .ext3 to .hdddirect" faster.

Thanks,

In principle if it works then we should be able to do it, but I have no idea 
if there are any other side-effects of using -z.

Cheers,
Paul
