This lorax commit: https://github.com/rhinstaller/lorax/commit/e61223d486738c97369a98f81da7abd528c1cabf which changes size from 2 to 10 causes the Fedora arm composers to hang when trying to compose arm images. They get stuck in mkfs.ext4 on the loop device, then all i/o hangs and they never finish. These composers have 4gb memory and 4gb swap, perhaps they need more to handle 10G there? In any case, reverting to 2 for size causes composes to work again.
Proposed as a Blocker for 25-alpha by Fedora user kevin using the blocker tracking app because: " Bugs which entirely prevent the composition of one or more of the release-blocking images required to be built for a currently-pending (pre-)release" are automatic blockers.
indeed this meets the automatic blocker requirements, so marked it as AcceptedBlocker.
Well, crap. So much for a simple change. I guess we'll need to make this a cmdline argument.
so the state of play here is that the builders have a lorax that reverts the change installed: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=793453 but that's kind of an 'unofficial' build (as in, next time bcl bumps lorax and rebuilds it, that patch will get bulldozered) and it is not in Bodhi at all. So this is in a bit of a weird state; it's sort of 'addressed', but not *really*. I'm not sure if it's OK to build Alpha with a lorax that wouldn't be in the frozen Alpha repositories. It'd be ideal if we could get a 'proper' build from Brian with this changed, and submitted to Bodhi, I guess.

Fix for this looks good, we've got a full complement of ARM images for recent composes and no stuck builders that I heard of.
