I asked that too a while ago and upstream wasn't totally against it. The latest cloud-init that supports growroot also supports the use of 'parted' instead of the growpart script. Haven't tried it but that would make all my cloud-utils packaging efforts a waste of time and we don't want that, do we? ;-) ...Juerg >> - dracut-modules-growroot to do the >> root-partition-resizing-in-the-initramfs magic >> - cloud-init to resize the root filesystem >> cloud-init itself supports growroot as of a few days ago >> (http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~cloud-init-dev/cloud-init/trunk/revision/790) >> but that requires a 3.8 kernel (and probably some userspace tools as >> well) that can reload a partition table of a device that's in use.
