Hi,
I have a need for the growroot feature that comes with cloud-utils and cloud-initramfs-tools. I've noticed that these packages don't exist in Fedora/EPEL and was wondering if there are any specific reasons for that?
Thanks ...Juerg

The cloud-init package in F18 includes this. I'm not sure about EPEL.

I'm not seeing it in F18's cloud-init (cloud-init-0.7.1-2.fc18.noarch). Maybe I didn't make myself clear enough and we're talking about different things. What I'm looking for is the initramfs script that enlarges the root partition to the maximum possible size during first boot so that cloud-init can later grow the root filesystem.

Juerg,
I don't believe cloud-init supports this. How I work around it is run fdisk from initrd and expand the partition and fs.

Ah -- no, I think we may just be missing that. On the road now -- will look later when I have better internet.

FYI, I started to build a package. Hope it will be useful :-)

We have a package that does this that we built for ARM images to do exactly the same thing on varying sized SD cards etc. It's called rootfs-resize and patches are welcome if it doesn't quite meet your needs.

If I understand correctly, your package provides a systemd script that resizes the root partition, reboots and then resizes the filesystem. I'm looking for something that runs out of the initramfs to (only) resize the partition before it's mounted so that cloud-init, which runs later on, can grow the root filesystem. It also needs to support both GPT and legacy partitions. It seems to me that the easier approach would be to patch and package the missing Ubuntu packages since they're already (almost) doing what is required and they're designed to work in conjunction with cloud-init rather than shoe'horning additional functionality into rootfs-resize.
