Hi all,

I would like to add that even with linaro-android-media-create, even though the partitions are set up differently, the free 14GB is still not visible to Android. The system shows ~500MB of internal memory.

Thanks,

Varun

Subject: Observed diff between how dd'ing juno.img and using linaro-android-media-create...

Hello All,

Not sure if this is the right forum to raise this issue we observed. If not please redirect me to the right place.

Problem observed::

With Juno release we have the option for creating a media device from the juno.img.bz2 or from the 3 tar balls provided for the android image.

When I try to create the image from juno.img.bz2 and try to install a ‘huge’ benchmark apk like GFXBench3.0 (100+MB size apk and uses larger space on disk while execution too) it fails with disk space not sufficient error.

Even if I use a 16GB usb device I hit this problem.

Some interesting details::

Please see the attached screen shots. The first one is where I have the got the 16GB media formatted.

When I use linaro-android-media-create then  can see sdcard partition extending the remaining of the space on the disk.

But if you look at the dd’ing 2.1GB juno image I can see 14GB shown as ‘Unallocated.

Please note that if I use linaro-android-media-create I never hit this problem of lack of space when GFXBench3.0

Any clue?

Is this a bug?

Is there a way juno.img can be made to ‘have larger space’?

Thanks
