Hey all,
It would be good to reduce the snappy image size just a little bit.
I have a Kingston MicroSD card that self-reports as 4GB, but it
is not large enough to hold the image. I had to take a few MB
out from the last partition to make it work.
Here is a working scheme, being reported from within snappy itself:
$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/mmcblk0
Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 3.7 GiB, 3980394496 bytes, 7774208 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x000a208e
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/mmcblk0p1 * 8192 139263 131072 64M c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
