Hello,

I installed following image on a Raspberry Pi
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/ARM:/13.2:/Contrib:/RaspberryPi/images/openSUSE-13.2-ARM-JeOS-raspberrypi.armv7l-1.12.1-Build29.3.raw.xz


It does work fine and I even now got my hardware drivers compiled which
did not succeed with 13.1. Thanks a lot to all people involved.

One question I do have thought: I tried to resize the system after it
was installed or before it auto-installs, but was unable to do it.

Fixing it before installation fails as I do not find the releavnt
sections in the image (probably they are zipped, so string search does
not help). Resizing afterwards with yast2 on another machine resulted in
a broken image (probably boot loader or MBR breaks?).

Does anybody have any hint how I can change the automatic size settings
to something which fits my individual requirements?
Sure! You can just osc branch the JeOS-raspberrypi image in OBS and
change the kiwi configuration to your preferred disk layout.

Alternatively, you can also resize the file system after first boot
finished. Make sure to do the fixups required to get it booting again
afterwards though (copied from pre-checkin.sh in JeOS-raspberrypi):

                         #==========================================
                         # convert GPT to hybrid GPT again
                         #------------------------------------------
         echo "r
h
1 2 3
n
c
y
83
n
83
n
w
y" > /gdisk.tmp
                         /usr/sbin/gdisk /dev/mmcblk0 < /gdisk.tmp
                         rm -f /gdisk.tmp

P.S. A slight error: the Raspberry contrib repository URL ends in
"openSUSE_13.2", but the real URL is "standard". Either the image or OBS
should be fixed.
Oh, thanks for the catch. Fixed now and rebuilding :).

I use large sizes of SD cards.

After burning the image, e.g to /dev/sdb, remove the SD card and insert it again.

"gparted /dev/sdb"

Add the space of the rootfs partition to the unused space and change rootfs to the total calculated, click resize and Apply.
Regards
Sid.
