Title:
Increase the default imagesize in CPC's disk-image binary
Status in livecd-rootfs package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
CPC's download and GCE base questing images are failing with a `No
space left on device` error when the binary hits `grub-install`.
This implies that the livecd-rootfs default of 2.2GB is now just a bit
too small. `grub-pc` && `grub2-common` don't seem to have exploded in
size, so it's probably just the culmination of all the packages
increasing in size gradually.
I successfully built a GCE image with the default increased to 2.5GB -
and the output of `df` just before the `grub-install` was interesting:
```
+ chroot mountpoint df --all --human-readable --print-type

```
as it does indeed imply that we were just skirting the ceiling of
2.2GB until now.
