In many cases, the statically sized 64MB journal is far below the e2fstools default calculation[0] which calls for a 64MB journal only on filesystems smaller than 16GB. On bare metal in particular, the correct default journal size will often be in the 512MB-1GB range. Since we cannot know what the target system is, this should be a tunable parameter that the user can set depending on the intended image usage. Add a DIB_JOURNAL_SIZE envvar and --mkfs-journal-size parameter to the image creation so users can override the default journal size.

Image building tools for OpenStack
diskimage-builder
is a flexible suite of components for
building a wide-range of disk images, filesystem images and ramdisk
images for use with OpenStack.
This repository has the core functionality for building such images, both virtual and bare metal. Images are composed using elements; while fundamental elements are provided here, individual projects have the flexibility to customise the image build with their own elements.
For example:
$ DIB_RELEASE=trusty disk-image-create -o ubuntu-trusty.qcow2 vm ubuntu
will create a bootable Ubuntu Trusty based qcow2
image.
diskimage-builder
is useful to anyone looking to produce
customised images for deployment into clouds. These tools are the
components of TripleO that are
responsible for building disk images. They are also used extensively to
build images for testing OpenStack itself, particularly with nodepool.
Platforms supported include Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL and Fedora.
