[SOLVED] ArchIso increase max size root-image.fs

TheHebes · 2012-07-07 21:36:00

So I'm trying to generate an ISO using ArchIso, and I have to put a large amount of packages into it. However, it seems as if I've hit some sort of limit as to how many packages I can add. After the scripts install all the packages and they begin to generate the root-image.fs, I get a bunch of errors that say:

loop: Write error at byte offset 15355904, length 4096

Which is followed by a notice that there is no more space.
So, my question is, is there a way to modify this size limit, or is it something that is a limitation?
If it can be changed, how would I do this?

Ah. Foolish me. I noticed after a round of head banging that I had filled up my ENTIRE 20GB ROOT FILESYSTEM. I guess that many packages aren't small. Anyways, just mounted another drive to /mnt, copied the releng folder there, and built it no problems. It ended up filling about 27GB.
