[OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH] apm821xx: for Meraki MR24 modify BLOCKSIZE to reduce LEB over-allocation

[Russell Senior]

On Meraki MR24, the BLOCKSIZE variable is used to allocate space for the
kernel blob. The LEB size on MR24 is 15.5k (15872 bytes). In the
particular instance observed, it was found that reducing blocksize to
512 bytes resulted in 3 fewer LEBs being allocated to the kernel ubi
volume, with no ill effects.
