Operating-system: hassos_ova-5.8.ova image does not work.

[Meph79]

The OVA image for latest release seems to not have been created correctly..
Import failes in:
ESXi 6.7 U2
ESXi 7.0.0
VMware Workstation 16

In ESXi 6.7 U2 following error is displayed:

This file were used:

Hm, I recently increased the image size to 32GB in #1009 and it seems I forgot to update the description file: https://github.com/home-assistant/operating-system/blob/dev/buildroot-external/board/intel/ova/home-assistant.ovf#L8.

As a work around, you can fix it manually by editing the ovf file in the ova archive. E.g.

tar xf hassos_ova-5.8.ova
nano home-assistant.ovf
tar cf hassos_ova-5.8.ova

Just wanted to notify you of the issue. A friend tried to download it. I'm running 4.17 on RPi 3 already.
After it failed for friend I downloaded it and tried it in my environment too..

Shall line 8 from your link into the ova file in line 8 also?

Shall line 8 from your link into the ova file in line 8 also?

So the number in line 8 is wrong, that is the capacity it used to be (6GB). It should be 34359738368 (32GB).

Will be fixed in 5.9 onwards.
