Public bug reported: Binary package hint: util-linux
The attached patch adds the ability to make a partition the maximum size possible. This gives the equivalent functionality to omitting the size parameter in the input, but works with -N too. So this lets you resize a partition to maximum size by echo ",+," | sfdisk -N1 /dev/sda This is non-trivial to do without the patch as -N makes the default size the existing size. As there is (without this patch) no way of reading the maximum size, the only option is to delete the partition and recreate it. This is needed for cloud-init to resize an image on first boot. ** Affects: util-linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: ec2-images uec-images -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/686124 Title: Add option to sfdisk to use maximum partition size -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
