Keeping rootfs with Inheriting rm_work in yocto

Question

To save disk space, I have added INHERIT += "rm_work"

I don't want it to delete root file system folder, so I added the following line in local.conf.

RM_WORK_EXCLUDE += "rootfs"

I ran the following command to get the location of root file system

bitbake -e core-image-minimal | grep ^IMAGE_ROOTFS=

CD failed with directory not exist. What mistake I am doing here.

Thanks for your time

I think you need to put `RM_WORK_EXCLUDE += "core-image-minimal"` instead — Nayfe, Mar 28 '18 at 07:22

RM_WORK_EXCLUDE += "rootfs" will check for any recipe named rootfs and exclude that from rm_work while building.

In your case rootfs is created using core-image-minimal recipe. So use

RM_WORK_EXCLUDE += " core-image_minimal".
