Bug 760866 – sys-fs/growpart: lacks init script

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: CONFIRMED ---

[Description ShorTie 2020-12-20 11:17:21 UTC]

Growpart lacks a init script.
I started playing with growpart in my Devuan imager.
Having switch to Gentoo, I had to port over my init script.
While still using the version of growpart I had/have.
Then I found sys-fs/growpart.
Still have actually not tried it as it pulls in a bunch of stuff.
Is sys-apps/gptfdisk really really needed ??

But anyways, here is my init script that works for me.
It is kinda basic and just does mmcblkp02 and sda2.

Might need some tweeking as I see that other bug talking about /dev/vda.
Not sure what that is to be honest.
But might be as easy to just add a
"elif fdisk -l | grep vda >/dev/null; then" ... in
arm keywording might be nice too...

        sleep 1s
        ebegin "    resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p2"
        resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p2
    else
        ebegin "  growing part /dev/sda2"
        bash growpart /dev/sda 2
        sleep 1s
        ebegin "    resize2fs /dev/sda2"
        resize2fs /dev/sda2
    fi
    rc-update -v del growpart
}

I've updated to using emerge sys-fs/growpart --nodeps
Along with my init and all seems fine.
