Bug#813493: cloud.debian.org: [AWS] Debian Jessie 8.1 images lack root partition grow
Package: cloud.debian.org
Severity: normal
Tags: newcomer
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Create new instance from one of the official Debian Jessie 8.1 images
(https://wiki.debian.org/Cloud/AmazonEC2Image/Jessie)
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
Create instance with a volume other than the default size (8GB), say 30GB.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Root partition still at size 8GB in front of 30GB (EBS) volume size.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Root partition should be resized as same as (EBS) volume.
This bug is reproducible in at least 2 tested images (in eu-west-1 and
us-west-1)
This bug affect only Jessie 8.1 images, Wheezy images looks fine.
As a work-around, installing cloud-initramfs-growroot package resolve the issue
for installed instances (after reboot) or for new instances created from nested
image.
Best regards,
Zied.
PS: If you consider this issue as a bug, I'm available to reproduce, test and
validate new AWS images. I'm already looking at Anders Ingemann's bootstrap-vz
work to find-out how to suggest a patch, but I'm not sure that I'm on the right
path.
