From e069c520acd2fa97644f8f53a004c77c09b040c8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: xumia <59720581+xumia@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2022 02:15:42 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] [Build] Increase the size of the installer image (#11869) #### Why I did it Fix the build failure caused by the installer image size too small. The installer image is only used during the build, not impact the final images. See https://dev.azure.com/mssonic/build/_build/results?buildId=139926&view=logs&j=cef3d8a9-152e-5193-620b-567dc18af272&t=359769c4-8b5e-5976-a793-85da132e0a6f ``` + fallocate -l 2048M ./sonic-installer.img + mkfs.vfat ./sonic-installer.img mkfs.fat 4.2 (2021-01-31) ++ mktemp -d + tmpdir=/tmp/tmp.TqdDSc00Cn + mount -o loop ./sonic-installer.img /tmp/tmp.TqdDSc00Cn + cp target/sonic-vs.bin /tmp/tmp.TqdDSc00Cn/onie-installer.bin cp: error writing '/tmp/tmp.TqdDSc00Cn/onie-installer.bin': No space left on device [ FAIL LOG END ] [ target/sonic-vs.img.gz ] ``` #### How I did it Increase the size from 2048M to 4096M. Why not increase to 16G like qcow2 image? The qcow2 supports the sparse disk, although a big disk size allocated, but it will not consume the real disk size. The falocate does not support the sparse disk. We do not want to allocate a very big disk, but no use at all. It will require more space to build. --- scripts/build_kvm_image.sh | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/scripts/build_kvm_image.sh b/scripts/build_kvm_image.sh index 6e5fd7dec7..44009ed013 100755 --- a/scripts/build_kvm_image.sh +++ b/scripts/build_kvm_image.sh @@ -36,7 +36,7 @@ create_disk() prepare_installer_disk() { - fallocate -l 2048M $INSTALLER_DISK + fallocate -l 4096M $INSTALLER_DISK mkfs.vfat $INSTALLER_DISK
