img file size is too big

Question

img file size is too big

namwone opened this issue 3 years ago · 3 comments

Hi, I downloaded 7zip file (about 14GB) and unzipped.

however the img file is not 21GB but 57.7GB (62,021,173,248 bytes), so I couldn't flash the image on my SD card (32GB).

Is the actual image size 57.7GB? Or is there something I missed?

I just unzipped the image on OS-X using p7zip installed via homebrew and my image is 62.02GB. This implies the image is scaled to a 64GB card

edit: Moving the .img file over to a windows 10 system the file size appears as 57.7GB (62t bytes) so this is likely a filesystem estimation based on OS

Dear @YoungJonathanP, @namwone ,

I'm working on a smaller image.

Fix it. Now we stay well within the 32 GB. Please download the image file again.
