Using linaro-media-create (version linaro-image-tools_0.4.8-0ubuntu1~lucid1_all) to create an image the default image size seems to be 2GB if no --image_size is given.
Creating an image (--image_file) with the recent linaro-n-ubuntu-desktop-tar-20110817-0.tar.gz fails with tons of "No space left on device" [1] while the hard disk space is still fine (tested on different PCs).
It seems that the 2GB image file is loop mounted to /tmp/xxx/root-disc/ and that 2GB is too small for recent Ubuntu desktop images. The recent linaro-n-ubuntu-desktop tar-20110817-0.tar.gz is compressed ~490MB while an older one (e.g. linaro-n-ubuntu desktop-tar-20110628-1.tar.gz) was only ~430MB. With this creating an image worked fine with the default 2GB image size.
Adding '--image-size 3G' fixes the issue.
What's about increasing the default image size of l-m-c if it's too small for creating recent images?
Best regards
Dirk
