Root FS partition size
#1
The image set my root FS partition size originally to 2 GB and I quickly ran out of space. Used Gparted in my PC to enlarge it to 32 GB and received an error message about "Web support size checking" (I have a SanDisk Ultra 128 GB). After ignoring this and putting the card back into the Pinephone, I now seem have plenty of space.

Perhaps the root FS size should be set bigger?

My hope is that we will later be able to have several images on one card and can choose at startup, using something like a Grub menu.

If you build your image using pmbootstrap it fills the / partition to fill the card.
