Hi, im trying to use attended-sysupgrade on my nanopi r4s, image generated with imagebuilder with CONFIG_TARGET_ROOTFS_PARTSIZE=1024. Ext4 image.

Attended-sysupgrade fails to generate image because there is no space left on rootfs

Not all buildbots have enough extra space, I'd recommend creating a smaller rootfs image and resizing after install.

Or get yourself a VM to build images with extra space to accommodate the larger image which needs to be built.

Which VM hypervisor can be run on openwrt? I cant find qemu package

edit: Ok, nevermind, i found it, qemu-arm-softmmu. Which guest os should i use to be light on microsd writes?

But asu refuses to build image.

Or maybe there is option to build image with kernel only partition and leave rootfs update to opkg?

Oh, wait, I may have misunderstood you. So you have originally flashed the image generated with Image Builder with CONFIG_TARGET_ROOTFS_PARTSIZE=1024 parameter and you're trying to run asu on that?

Can you not use the image builder again to generate the new image?
