 I assume you're referring to resizing the root partition?

 
  Juerg Haefliger is working on cloud-utils and cloud-initramfs-tools

  He might have some packages for you to test.

 Yes working on packaging for RHEL and adding support for GPT partition
 tables for Fedora. I could give you preliminary RHEL6 packages but
 Fedora is not quite there yet. Let me know.

Hi Scott,

 Juerg,
I'm interested/willing to help with this.  I'd like for growpart to
 have support for GPT partitions also.  Please let me know how I can help.

I'm almost there. Expect a merge request either later today or tomorrow :-)


One exciting thing is that newer kernels now support 'update' of a
 partition table, that should be a good fit for simplistic growing like
 we're interested in.  util-linux has recently gained the ability to tell
 the kernel to update its partition table view at [1].
What that means is that going forward we won't have to do this stuff
 inside the initramfs, and I'd like for cloud-init to be able to drive it
 itself.

That is indeed good news. Are you working on the cloud-init changes already?

...Juerg
