Dear Maintainer,


   * What led up to the situation?
Create new instance from one of the official Debian Jessie 8.1 images
    (https://wiki.debian.org/Cloud/AmazonEC2Image/Jessie)
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? Create instance with a volume other than the default size (8GB), say 30GB.
   * What was the outcome of this action?
Root partition still at size 8GB in front of 30GB (EBS) volume size.
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
    Root partition should be resized as same as (EBS) volume.


This bug is reproducible in at least 2 tested images (in eu-west-1 and
us-west-1)
This bug affect only Jessie 8.1 images, Wheezy images looks fine.

As a work-around, installing cloud-initramfs-growroot package resolve the issue for installed instances (after reboot) or for new instances created from nested
image.

This is a known issue, which is related to #784004[1]. We are already
tackling it on threads[2][3] at the "debian-cloud" mailing list.

PS: If you consider this issue as a bug, I'm available to reproduce, test and validate new AWS images. I'm already looking at Anders Ingemann's bootstrap-vz work to find-out how to suggest a patch, but I'm not sure that I'm on the right
path.

Patches[4][5] were suggested to bootstrap-vz and the most recent one
was merged. What happened is, AFAICT, there were no newer EC2 images
generate using those fixes.

Regards,
Tiago.
