Hi,
I'm not fully confident about some choices I made here, so I'm open to suggestions:
- I only apply the changes on the native build, so mkfs behavior on target
will be unchanged. This may either be expected or unwanted.
- An alternative solution might be to change mkfs call in
classes/image_types.bbclass to explicitly add '-I 256' if '$COUNT' is less
than 524288 (512MB).
Also, bigger inodes means less usable space on partitions but this is mandatory
to build images that may last after 2038.
Best regards,
Mathieu

Hi,
I don't see much enthusiasm for this patch. As I said, maybe the way I
did it is not be the best one, but I'm open to any comment or request
for modification.
I feel like the goal of this patch is important. Without it, small ext
partitions generated with open embedded will not support any date beyond
year 2038.
Is there any way I can help to progress with this issue ?
Best regards,
Mathieu
