this image was created using http://people.canonical.com/~ogra/snappy/pi2-model.assertion with http://people.canonical.com/~ogra/snappy/ubuntu-image_0.5_amd64.snap (snapcraft build from a PR from mvo with some extra fixes to master) ...

the actual content of the image are a 85MB pi2-kernel snap
and a 56MB ubuntu-core snap plus whatever overhead the image creation adds (pre-created writable bits, unpacked gadget, copied kernel and initrd files etc), nearly 300MB sounds actually pretty large for that content.

i wasnt aware conv=sparse can be used when writing SD cards, i'll play with that, thanks !
