Ability to set max fastboot flash size in deviceinfo

    • Closed Imported Issue created by Administrator @root

    amazon-thor can't flash files via fastboot that are over 500 MB. I'd like to be able to set the max flash byte size in deviceinfo.

    To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information

      Possibly make a deviceinfo var called flash_fastboot_max_size, and flasher won't flash anything via fastboot that exceeds said max size

      That would increase usability a bit, because then users wouldn't be confronted with a confusing error message from fastboot.

      But then again I'd personally rather like to fix the issue with a limited fastboot size altogether than implementing this. Here is the proper fix in my opinion, and it would resolve basically all problems we have with flashing to a system partition and be a good path forward to get LVM across multiple partitions working: https://github.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap/issues/456#issuecomment-343686341
