Hi folks,
We were just discussing in IRC about potential problems with Android images in LAVA, in terms of fitting the overlay.
Ideally, the Android builds would have a rootfs configured to be as small as possible - it's automatically resized to fit the available space at first boot, and leaving space otherwise is inefficient. However, if we're going to add the LAVA test overlay into the rootfs, space needs to be left for it to fit. That's not
Steve,
Could you give a bit more context/use case on why the overlay is needed? I have similar discussions with YongQin and the main issue he raises is that binaries in such potential overlay might not be compatible with rootfs that is used. So I'm wondering if the overlay only contains scripts or the mentioned limitation was somehow solved?
