Error The rootfs size exceeds IMAGE_ROOTFS_MAXSIZE:

[SigmaPrime]

Hello

I am getting the following error after trying to build the image

The rootfs size 5956484(K) exceeds IMAGE_ROOTFS_MAXSIZE: 763904(K)

and I don't find anything related to this problem apart from this line that should be implemented in the local.conf file:

MENDER_STORAGE_TOTAL_SIZE_MB=....

Will this solve my problem? If not how do I solve this problem please I am a beginner with yocto.

I want to use the maximum space that I can so that this error won't come again. I will add a lot of packages and modules after so please tell me if there is a default size to apply.

Thank you

​Hello SigmaPrime (Community Member)

Your rootfs partition size seems a bit large... almost 6GB! are you sure?

Do you have this error when creating the image from the script create_sdcard_from_flashlayout.sh? if so 768MB is the defaut size set for rootfs in the script.

to increase the rootfs size, you can just change the value DEFAULT_ROOTFS_PARTITION_SIZE according to your needs.

Hope it helps.
