Description

I was hoping to build an expanded image with asu. is it possible?

I tried everything else for expanding the SD. It seems to corrupt the filesystem on reboot and it is a hassle. this would be an awesome option if it does not exist.

asu also throws an error if I put too many packages to install because it runs out of space (#1255). it would be useful to expand the image size for this reason as well

Research direction

The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how asu builds images and handles package-space limits, then determine the supported image-size behavior and its effect on filesystem integrity after reboot. Done should include an agreed implementation scope and tests covering expanded images and oversized package selections.
