Impossible to make a image file > of 2000MB!
Hi! Thanks for this beautiful application. With Linux Deploy I can make image file of 4095 MB, with Lil' Debi I can't. I have this error: mke2fs: lseek: Value too large for defined data type.
As we discussed in IRC, busybox is compiled without CONFIG_LFS aka "Large File Support" so that is probably the cause of this. Busybox's config says "Build with Large File Support (for accessing files > 2 GB)"
This also looks important since enabling CONFIG_LFS breaks the build for me: https://github.com/tias/android-busybox-ndk/commit/8b7ac46d071fd1c43f581dbd5ab9db71a5911aec
Hi mate! I have solved this issue. The problem is mke2fs. I've compiled it on my phone using Little Debian's Wheezy. After i have copyed binary in lil deby's app_bin folder. Now i have a image file of 4095MB!!! Thanks for this wonderful application!
Ok, that's good news that we've nailed down the cause of this issue. I'm reopening this issue until it is fixed in a Lil' Debi release. Ideally this would be done by getting CONFIG_LFS working with busybox. Building mke2fs from the Debian source would add a lot more complexity to the whole build, so that would be a second choice of solutions to include.
Before i used the project from Sven-Ola successfully. http://sven-ola.dyndns.org/repo/debian-kit-en.html
But now i installed Cynogenmod 11 and his script is not working any more. :-( https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-6348 The last thing i found out is that his ash scripting does not work any more. I am not the shell scripting expert to understand what he is doing there in detail.
But my hope is to get it flying again with lildebi? Sven-Ola did support to mount a separate partition instead of an image file. Is it not possible to do the same here?
@DarbyCrash: What i want to say is that i successfully used an partition with 4 GB running Debian. This works very well because you are working direct with a partition instead of mounting a file. Of course the partition can be much bigger like 16 GB if you have a big flash card.
