fs/ext2/genext2fs.sh is incorrectly calculating the size required to create an
ext2 image file, and it seems to happen when the size of the image exceeds
500Mb (but I haven't done precise testing to determine this).
This is the command genext2fs.sh is using:
genext2fs -d /home/test/buildroot-2010.11/target -U
/home/test/buildroot-2010.11/images/rootfs.ext2 -b 525096 -N 5242
du on the target directory returns 508712
find | wc -l in the target directory returns 4842
Modifying the call to genext2fs with -b 529712 (i.e. 508712+21000) makes an
image without errors and e2fsck rootfs.ext2 tells me "4440/5720 files,
529506/529712 blocks", so it should be possible to create the image with 529506
blocks, but 21000 seems a good enough "guess".
Does this information help? If you need further information or testing, let me
know.
Thanks
Andy
