Issue generating filesystem image

[Graeme29]

Hello,

I'm compiling a Linux OS via 2021.05 Buildroot and using 5.10.57 version Linux Kernel. When it's executing post-image script board/raspberrypi4-64/post-image.sh, i have an error : Disk full INFO: vfat(boot.vfat): cmd: "rm -f "/home/heol/stage_heol/br-lab/64bit/systemctl/build-pi4-64/images/boot.vfat"" (stderr): ERROR: vfat(boot.vfat): failed to generate boot.vfat make[1]: [Makefile:838 : target-post-image] Erreur 1 make: [Makefile:23 : _all] Erreur 2

Does anybody know how to solve the problem ?

Thanks for help, have a nice day !!!

I think this is more of buildroot issue because of the 'Disk full' message then it has anything to do with genimage itself: when the disk is full of course genimage fails.

[philippludwig]

I am running into the same issue. The thing is, that buildroot tries to create a 32 MB vfat partition which genimage which is too small. Now if you go into the genimage cfg and increase this to 64MB, you get

mkdosfs: Attempting to create a too large filesystem

So the question here is: Is it possible to create a vfat filesystem with genimage which is larger than 32 MB?

[michaelolbrich]

Yes, of course. Time image size is specified in the config:

image my-image.vfat {
    vfat {
        <.... add files here>
    }
    size = 64M
}

But I don't know where the config in buildroot comes from and how to modify it. That's a question for the buildroot community.

Anyways, this is not a genimage problem, so I'll close this here.

Hi mate! Do you solve your problem?

If note, try to edit the geimage config file created by buildroot for your board. In your case:

vim board/raspberrypi4-64/genimage-raspberrypi4-64.cfg

Change 32M for 64M, for example.

Best regards!
