[Unreleased]

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • OCI layout for non-composefs installs: Non-composefs images (bluefin, lts, lts-hwe) now export to an OCI layout at scratch and use --source-imgref oci:... for bootc install to-filesystem. The previous VFS squash path corrupted ostree commit structure, producing “Expected commit object, not File”. The overlay redirect eliminates ENOSPC on 8+ GiB images by placing working container layers on the target disk instead of the 1.4 GiB live overlayfs.
  • --source-imgref in direct mode: Direct mode now emits --source-imgref so bootc install to-filesystem does not fail with “must be executed inside a podman container” on offline live-ISO installs.

📊 Partition Layout

  • 2 GiB /boot: grub2 /boot ext4 partition increased from 1 GiB → 2 GiB. Each kernel+initramfs pair (200–400 MiB with NVIDIA drivers) fills 1 GiB quickly once deployment + rollback + staged upgrade accumulate.
  • 2 GiB ESP for all fleet images: grub2 EFI System Partition increased from 512 MiB → 2 GiB for fleet consistency with systemd-boot (dakota) images.
