The LittleFS uploader seems to ignore the partition size #90
Description
I have a 2MB (and growing) upload that works just fine on IDE 1.x but fails on IDE 2.x (currently on v2.3.4) because it says the partition is too small. The partition is 5 times the size of the upload. This tells me that the partition size is assumed to be something smaller than 2MB. Possibly it is using 1.5MB. Don't know.
Is there a way around this problem or must the developer fix the code to honor the size of the partition and the partition.csv file that is in the sketch directory?
I will have to continue using IDE 1.x until this has been resolved. Please attend to it soon.
Here is my partition table:
# Name, Type, SubType, Offset, Size, Flags
nvs, data, nvs, 36K, 20K,
otadata, data, ota, 56K, 8K,
app0, app, ota_0, 64K, 3M,
# The theory is that this will work.
#app1, app, ota_1, , 3M,
#spiffs, data, spiffs, , 6M,
spiffs, data, spiffs, , 10M,
coredump, data, coredump, , 0x10000,
And here is what the program shows, waiting for files that will never arrive...
LittleFS Info:
LittleFS Total Bytes: 10485760
LittleFS Used Bytes: 8192
LittleFS Free Bytes: 10477568
The 8192 seems to be overhead in the otherwise empty partition. This is just after the area has been formatted.
And here is the output of the load attempt:

It claims to see the partitions.csv file but then seems to ignore the setting. The total of the load is about 2MB and loads just fine in the IDE 1.x program.
