Hello, first of all I would like to ask if somebody could provide some experience using resize_root=YES (in rc.conf) in an working setup.
I tried to use it in different setups with MBR DOS with disklabels and GPT with wedges which always result in an fsck_ffs in an rescue shell after reboot and not resizing the file system. My current test setup with GPT: One (virtual) disk started with 8 GB which will we resized to 16 GB. One GPT partition with only one wedge for NetBSD root file system using ffs version 2. Using NetBSD 9. 1. $ gpt create vnd0 $ gpt add -a 4k -l NetBSD -t ffs -s 6g vnd0 $ gpt biosboot -A -i 1 vnd0 File system creation and installing NetBSD. Resizing the virtual disk from 8 GB to 16 GB. 2. Booting the freshly installed NetBSD and running: gpt show output before starting the resize process: http://netbsd.org/~tm/gpt-resize-root/gpt-show-unused $ gpt resizedisk ld0 gpt show after gpt resizedisk: http://netbsd.org/~tm/gpt-resize-root/gpt-show-after-resizedisk $ gpt resize -i 1 ld0 gpt show after gpt resize: http://netbsd.org/~tm/gpt-resize-root/gpt-show-after-resize-i 3. Edit of rc.conf to add resize_root=YES and reboot. 4. Boot shows "Resizing /" df -h does not show any difference reboot again 5. Rescue shell which requires fsck_fss to run. Continue booting, df -h doesn't show any difference. Any hint is welcome, if additional information is needed feel free to ask. I can also provide access to the virtual machine if needed. Thanks and best regards, Thomas
