Add a standard --root-size value (maybe 2GB?) to all mkosi default files
q2dg opened this issue · 4 comments
Current images have no space left to add any content to them (like installing one more package, for instance). Maybe a bit more of free space by default would be a great idea to make images more usable.
Thanks!
Hi @q2dg sorry for the late reply,
Yes, this makes absolutely sense, I just wonder if this would increase the tarball size as well.
Hello, I've checked the ArchLinux raw image today and I can't reproduce this issue as all raw images are created with a 2.9G root size by default. When I import and boot the image, I got:

@shibumi can you confirm if what I just wrote is what the issue was referring to?
Looks like I fixed this already and just forgot to close the issue.
The plan for the future is to have systemd automatically enlarge the image. Systemd is capable to do this.
This was fixed in systemd/mkosi#462
