Issue #3276 has been reported by falsifian. ---------------------------------------- Submit #3276: Add option controlling whether gpt expand expands the last partition (needs testing) http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/3276
* Author: falsifian * Status: New * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: * Target version: ---------------------------------------- Just today I needed a version of the "gpt expand" command that doesn't extend the last partition. The attached patch adds a -x option; the last partition is only expanded if -x is specified. I have done minimal testing: - I successfully used it without -x after copying my laptop's data to a larger SSD, leaving plenty of space at the end for me to install DragonflyBSD on top of the two existing OSs :-) - I did a really quick test with the -x option on a hastily created vnode disk initialized with gpt init. I just verified that after expanding with -x, the Dfly partition got bigger. I'm happy to do more testing if requested, though I'm not sure exactly what to try. (This patch changes the default behaviour. I suppose it could be reversed, but a "don't expand the last partition option" seems a bit more convoluted conceptually.) Patch is vs. commit 42a874b478. ---Files-------------------------------- expand.patch (6.65 KB) -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
