Bug reports
Bug #1: When rootfs_template is tarred and untarred, the files get covered in DOS ^M carriage return characters, which causes the scripts MAKEDEV and MAKESET to crash.
Bug #2: When the root disk is mounted and put together, it's registered as full at 352 KB, even though all the files added up only take up 300 KB.
Bug #3: elkscmd/ash/Makefile generates a hardlink of /bin/ash at /bin/sh instead of a softlink, taking up extra space.
Bug #4: bootblocks/makeboot.c doesn't include <stdlib.h>.
Bug #5: version.h, which bootblocks/monitor.c includes, isn't found there and has to be copied over from somewhere else.

I'm not seeing "bootblocks" anywhere in elks, elkscmd, or elksnet. Where is this coming from?

Hello!
For Bug #1 it is possible that it was corrupted that way by the very last person to construct it. No not you Jody, it could be anyone. To remove those ^M characters you can use the dos2unix command to remove them.
As for the others, your guess is as good as mine. I confess that I haven't been doing much with ELKS within the past few months.
But I am pleased that the list has revived from its long hibernation, and deeply saddened by the passing of our original manager.

Probably not a bug - inode blocks and superblock etc all borrow some plus you use it in 1K chunks of data and then blocks for indirection on bigger files.

Hard link is just a directory entry into the inode. Softlink takes a data block...
