That's fine by me... Btw, switching the rootfs disk (sda) to 2GB was my
doing and it was for the following reason...
Before the appliance-tools folks added tar/tar.bz2 support into
appliance-creator they only supported zip as a packaging format. And our
original thought was to use raw/zip for appliances. This was problematic
since zip has a file size limit of 2GB per file. So I made the sda image
as small as I could get it to fit it into those constraints.
However, all of that was blown out of the water by the fact that we wanted
a 20GB data disk that was easier to create during appliance-creation
rather than afterwords... I just never remembered to toggle sda back to
something larger. So in the end we are using qcow2/tar.bz2 as the
packaging format.
