Juerg just added support to growpart to use 'sgdisk'. The remaining step here is to make cloud-initramfs-growpart to include 'sgdisk'. That would allow GPT resizing from the initramfs.
There are 2 reasons not to "just do that": a.) it changes initramfs size dramatically: $ ls -l /boot/initrd.img* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14936523 Feb 4 17:19 /boot/initrd.img-3.8.0-2-generic -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6047018 Feb 4 17:10 /boot/initrd.img-3.8.0-2-generic.dist b.) As I've described on a thread at http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/openstack/dev/23573 , this is actually no longer required to be in the initramfs at all. bug 1096999 is there to request the function into util-linux for partx and resizepart command. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1087526 Title: need support for gpt partition tables To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-utils/+bug/1087526/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
