* For ext4:
11M -> 26M
The similar to vmdk, qcow2 and iso.
* For tar.bz2:
2.7M -> 4.5M
The main problem is eudev-hwdb which would be 12M after installed, jethro
doesn't use this, but udev by default, and it's gone in krogoth.
$ du -sh core-image-minimal/1.0-r0/rootfs/etc/udev/*
0 core-image-minimal/1.0-r0/rootfs/etc/udev/cache.data
6.4M core-image-minimal/1.0-r0/rootfs/etc/udev/hwdb.bin
5.2M core-image-minimal/1.0-r0/rootfs/etc/udev/hwdb.d
8.0K core-image-minimal/1.0-r0/rootfs/etc/udev/rules.d
4.0K core-image-minimal/1.0-r0/rootfs/etc/udev/udev.conf
Is there an easier way to fix this problem, please ? It's not a good
news for the user who uses core-imag-minimal/udev when they want to
upgrade to krogoth. And this would hurt the small device which uses
udev.
The conf is:
MACHINE = "qemux86-64"
DISTRO = "poky"
PACKAGE_CLASSES = "package_rpm"
EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES = "debug-tweaks"
USER_CLASSES = "buildstats image-mklibs"
$ bitbake core-image-minimal
For jethro:
$ ls -lh core-image-minimal-qemux86-64-20160513061306.rootfs.ext4
11M core-image-minimal-qemux86-64-20160513061306.rootfs.ext4
$ du -sh core-image-minimal-qemux86-64-20160513061306.rootfs.ext4
7.9M core-image-minimal-qemux86-64-20160513061306.rootfs.ext4
For krogoth:
$ ls -lh core-image-minimal-qemux86-64-20160513061459.rootfs.ext4
26M core-image-minimal-qemux86-64-20160513061459.rootfs.ext4
$ du -sh core-image-minimal-qemux86-64-20160513061459.rootfs.ext4
core-image-minimal-qemux86-64-20160513061459.rootfs.ext4

Thanks
