system.img approaching size limit

Question

I built the current aosp project on ubuntu16.04 , lunch aosp_arm64-eng . When it finished, I got warning says:

Created filesystem with 2639/163840 inodes and 268495/655360 blocks WARNING: out/target/product/generic_arm64/system.img approaching size limit (2684354560 now; limit 2684354560)

I wonder whether my the system.img is complete or not because only 2639/163840 inodes created, and why it is 2G large.

I know I can change BOARD_SYSTEM_IMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE to get the large system.img , but my phone space is limited to 2G, and there are zImage, userdata.img , and ramdisk.img .

Any help will be really appreciated. Thank you!

If system.img in out dir is created then everything has been done successfully. To decrease memory usage you can do following things:

• Disable odexing (using WITH_DEXPREOPT and DONT_DEXPREOPT_PREBUILTS flag)
• Remove unnecessary locales from PRODUCT_LOCALES
• Optimize PRODUCT_AAPT_CONFIG flags
• Remove unnecessary packages from compilation
