Large file in /data generate do_image_mender error

Hi, I’m using yocto (thud) using the meta-mender (thud commit e4d0ca3928523ba2a57d91b75fe758f08ad6d0f5) I’m trying to integrate a large file(~8GB) in the /data partition but I have a size error at the do_image_mender step. See below for the error. ERROR: installer-image-1.0-r0 do_image_mender: Size of rootfs is greater than the calculated partition space (10356370432 > 3489660928). This image won't fit on a device with the current storage configuration. Try reducing IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR …

I think you are experiencing the same problems, though you might not have an large files installed to /data so are you getting build errors.

This has been fixed and backported to thud only, do not think that this was back ported to sumo.
