** Description changed: + [SRU Justification] When booted without an initramfs, the root device will be /dev/root, not a named device. There is partial support for this when resizing filesystems, but not for growing partitions, without which it doesn't do much good. + + A system boots significantly slower with an initramfs than without, and + we care about boot speed; a user should not have to have to boot with an + initramfs to take advantage of root partition resizing. + + [Test case] + + + [Regression potential] + Users with existing initramfsless images that are configured with the default of resizing the root partition may be surprised when this starts to work. However, this only applies to first boot of an image, so only newly-mastered images would be affected, so this should be caught by any image CI before the affected users put such an image into production if it has serious impact for them.
