[yocto] unbootable image produced with PACKAGE_CLASSES ?= "package_ipk", /etc missing

[Todd Stellanova]

Tried creating a fresh build folder and giving the vm more ram but the
results are basically the same:

Allocated inode: 15264
copy_file: Could not allocate block in ext2 filesystem
debugfs: sif "libgio-2.0.so.0.3800.1" mode 0x81ed

It appears that using package_rpm successfully allocates something like
15968 inodes. When calculating the ROOTFS_SIZE it looks like package_rpm
and package_ipk are using very different values:

package_rpm:

++ du -ks
/fsl-community-bsp/build/tmp/work/wandboard_dual-poky-linux-gnueabi/todd-new/1.0-r0/rootfs
++ awk '{base_size = $1 * 1.3; base_size = ((base_size > 8192 ? base_size :
8192) + 0 + *51200*); if (base_size != int(base_size)) base_size =
int(base_size + 1); base_size = base_size + 4096 - 1; base_size -=
base_size % 4096; print base_size }'

+ ROOTFS_SIZE=*458752*

package_ipk:

++ du -ks
/fsl-community-bsp/build/tmp/work/wandboard_dual-poky-linux-gnueabi/todd-new/1.0-r0/rootfs
++ awk '{base_size = $1 * 1.3; base_size = ((base_size > 8192 ? base_size :
8192) + 0); if (base_size != int(base_size)) base_size = int(base_size +
1); base_size = base_size + 4096 - 1; base_size -= base_size % 4096; print
base_size }'

+ ROOTFS_SIZE=*376832*

I'm just guessing here, but it seems like package_ipk is underestimating
ROOTFS_SIZE and subsequently populate-extfs.sh fails trying to add files to
the ext fs.  Any ideas what might cause this?

Thanks for any help!
