we currently recommend at least 4GB for an image, this is based on the<br>
15.04 setup where we had two hardcoded readonly partitions of 1GB ...<br>
plus the writable one.<br>
<br>
with the all-snaps model where the two readonly partitons moved to loop<br>
mounted squashfs images along with dropping the two readonly partitions<br>
our size reqs. dropped significanly:<br>
<br>
/dev/loop2 108M 108M 0<br>
100% /snaps/canonical-dragon-linux.canonical/4.2.0-2014-generic-dragon410c<br>
/dev/loop3 55M 55M 0<br>
100% /snaps/ubuntu-core.canonical/16.04.0-7.arm64<br>
/dev/loop4 768K 768K 0 100% /snaps/canonical-dragon/0.7.1<br>
<br>
as you can see one of the readonly bits gets along with less than 200MB,<br>
so all in all you could probably run a single purpose device (i.e.<br>
something that just runs a single snap for embedded use) on around<br>
1GB ...<br>
<br>
i think we should adjust our numbers in docs accordingly for 16.04 ...<br>
