Research direction
Start with the linked OpenWrt log and compare its failure with the supplied x86 VM partition layout. Reproduce the attended system upgrade using the 512 MiB disk if possible, then determine whether the ext4 allocation error is caused by insufficient space or by the upgrade process. Done means the cause and an appropriate fix or confirmed limitation are established.
