[OE-core] [PATCH 0/6] Setup for VMDK to use Direct Disk

[Cui, Dexuan]

Hi joaohf,

Thank for the hint!

I have got the patches from genext2fs-devel mailing list and did some tests:

I can successfully create a .ext2 file of 8.5GB with genext2fs now!



I’ll send an update to the genext2fs recipe later.



Thanks,

-- Dexuan

Hi,
I guess we can just put that in the docs for now. For future improvement
though I wonder if we can trick the fetcher into just pulling across the
current files into the rootfs. I'll put that on my todo list for later.


The following thread suggest a patch to fix it:

Thanks.
