hi Antonin

my plan was to include text for all the comments from you and Quentin.
I didnt mention the others because are small changes.

Regarding the 2 variables. The values are:
IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR =3D 1.3
IMAGE_ROOTFS_ALIGNMENT =3D 1
size (initial size of IMAGE_ROOTFS) =3D 120840kb
size (after applying IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR ) =3D 157092kb
size (after applying IMAGE_ROOTFS_ALIGNMENT ) =3D 157092kb

There are more variables involved in the final calculation like 'IMAGE_ROOT=
FS_SIZE', 'IMAGE_ROOTFS_EXTRA_SPACE' (calc of base_size2).

My suggestion related to variables is to add a sentence like " The variable=
s IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR, IMAGE_ROOTFS_ALIGNMENT , IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE, IMAGE_=
ROOTFS_EXTRA_SPACE
are applied in the final calculation of initramfs size."

Br
Christos
