How to increase disk space in /dev/sda1

[xujiew]

Hi,

I am running the built image in qemu via start_vm script and trying to run a few tests such as installing packages, etc. While trying to install podman via apt I got the following error

ln: failed to create hard link '/boot/initrd.img-6.1.0-15-amd64.dpkg-bak' => '/boot/initrd.img-6.1.0-15-amd64': Operation not permitted
cp: error copying '/boot/initrd.img-6.1.0-15-amd64' to '/boot/initrd.img-6.1.0-15-amd64.dpkg-bak': No space left on device
dpkg: error processing package initramfs-tools (--configure):
 installed initramfs-tools package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 initramfs-tools
needrestart is being skipped since dpkg has failed
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Where it suggests that /dev/sda1 space is full

Filesystem     1K-blocks    Used Available Use% Mounted on
udev              467348       0    467348   0% /dev

tmpfs              97832       0     97832   0% /run/user/0

Is there any way to increase that disk size in the image build?

Some build parameters listed below:

Distro = Debian bookworm
Machine = qemuamd64
Image type = base
Image FS type=wic

Thanks!

Hello @xujiew,

Partition layout for qemuamd64 machine is set by meta-isar/scripts/lib/wic/canned-wks/sdimage-efi.wks file where you can add --size option to specify the size you need for any partition. Or you can create your custom wks file. See Yocto Project Reference Manual for details.

P.S. We are using mailling list for this project, please put your questions there next time.
