Anyways, I only had a 2GB card on hand, so I made a compressed BTRFS image on my own. It took up 654 MB, as opposed to the 1.1GB EXT3 is using. You might want to look into that.
I'm also asking, why is there swap space on the image, when it's using the internal (eMMC) swap?

And finally, please make the lock slider lock/unlock the device.
We had some problems with stability of btrfs and developers had trouble mounting the fs'es on their own computers due to too old kernels. Maybe for 1.3 more fixes are in btrfs and more people have upgraded kernels. We don't have any expertise for btrfs and even Intel switched back to ext3 for handset images.

Locking not working is a bug, used to work actually. Swap space is cos of p3 having to be there for u-boot
