Larger Live File System on Fedora 44

While I am spending most of my time on Ubuntu these days, I do like to see what Fedora is up to. So, with Fedora 44 out, I started medling with installing some extra ZFS packages on top of it. However, I was soon hit with “Npt enough space” message. Fedora’s in-memory root pertition was a bit too small. But there’s a way around it.

During boot just select the main boot option and press e key. This will lead you into text editor and there just add

rd.live.overlay.size=10G

to the “linux” line.

This will make in-memory store larger (albeit you won’t see it be 10G in size). With this, I was finally able to fit ZFS on it.
