Can you pls try to add option: `--storage-total-size-mb 32000` to arguments and try? There is default 8G but looks like your image is pretty big.

It’s installed by default in docker. Please add this line to arguments:

```auto
--bootloader-toolchain arm-buildroot-linux-gnueabihf

```

Also which version of mender-convert are you using? Thanks.

and converts it to a Mender image by restructuring partition table and adding  
necessary files.

Usage: ./mender-convert COMMAND [options]

General commands:

```
    from-raw-disk-image - composes fully functional Mender
                                              image compliant with Mender
                                              partition layout, having all
                                              necessary files installed
    mender-disk-image-to-artifact - creates Mender artifact file
                                              from Mender image
    raw-disk-image-shrink-rootfs - shrinks existing embedded raw
                                              disk image

```

Options: [-r|–raw-disk-image | -m|–mender-disk-image | -s|–data-part-size-mb |  
-d|–device-type | -p|–rootfs-partition-id | -n|–demo | -i|–demo-host-ip |  
-c|–server-cert | -u|–server-url | -t|–tenant-token |  
-g|–mender-client | -b|–bootloader-toolchain | -a|–artifact-name |  
-e|–storage-total-size-mb | -k|–keep | -v|–version -h|–help]

```
    raw-disk-image - raw disk embedded Linux (Debian, Raspbian,
                            Ubuntu, etc.) image path
    mender-disk-image - Mender disk image name where the script writes to
                            should have "sdimg" suffix
    data-part-size-mb - data partition size in MB; default value 128MB
    device-type - target device identification used to build
                            Mender image
    rootfs-partition-id - selects root filesystem (primary|secondary)
                            as the source filesystem for an artifact

    demo-host-ip - server demo ip used for testing purposes
    server-cert - server certificate file
    server-url - production server url
    tenant-token - Mender tenant token
    mender-client - Mender client binary
    bootloader-toolchain - GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain
    artifact-name - Mender artifact name
    storage-total-size-mb - total storage size in MB; default value 8000MB;
                            it is used to calculate the rootfs final size
    keep - keep intermediate files in output directory
    version - print the version
    help - show help and exit

```

Examples:

```
To create fully functional Mender image from raw disk image in a single step:

    ./mender-convert from-raw-disk-image
            --raw-disk-image <raw_disk_image_path>
            [--mender-disk-image <mender_image_name>]
            --device-type <beaglebone | raspberrypi3>
            [--mender-client <mender_binary_path>]
            --artifact-name release-1_1.5.0
            --bootloader-toolchain arm-linux-gnueabihf
            --demo-host-ip 192.168.10.2
            --keep

    Output:
        - Mender image: ready to use image with client and bootloader installed
        - Mender artifact: update file based on the already built Mender image
        - Mender root filesystem: EXT4 image used to produce the Mender artifact

To create Mender artifact file from Mender image:

    ./mender-convert mender-disk-image-to-artifact
            --mender-disk-image <mender_image_path>
            --device-type <beaglebone | raspberrypi3>
            --artifact-name release-1_1.5.0
            --rootfs-partition-id <primary | secondary>

    Note: artifact name format is: release-<release_no>_<mender_version>

To shrink the existing embedded raw disk image:

    ./mender-convert raw-disk-image-shrink-rootfs
            --raw-disk-image <raw_disk_image_path>

    Output: Root filesystem size (sectors): 4521984

```
