ok. i gave Jesse's suggestion a try. It does seem to work, but some things are a bit annoying a.) if the partition is not mounted, then passing 'yes' as shown results in error. | $ sudo mount /dev/vdb1 /mnt | $ sudo parted /dev/vdb resizepart 1 yes 1024 | Warning: Partition /dev/vdb1 is being used. Are you sure you want to continue? | Information: You may need to update /etc/fstab. | | $ echo $? | 0
However: | $ sudo umount /mnt | $ sudo parted /dev/vdb resizepart 1 yes 1024 | Error: Invalid number. | $ echo $? | 1 b.) I have to know the target size. I'd like to just say "make it as big as possible". I could work around both, but both are annoying. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1270203 Title: no way to use resizepart non-interactively on busy partition To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/parted/+bug/1270203/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
