EPEL 7 cloud-initramfs-tools/dracut-modules-growroot

[Fred Wittekind]

How soon might a el7 version of this package be available?  I can see 
that there is already a bug entered in bugzilla for it 
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1117416) and it's listed 
here https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/cloud-initramfs-tools (with 
no release yet).

Much thanks.

I just started to look at this today. I hope to have something ready for
testing later this week.

I tried the patch in the bug report linked above, and it it tries to 
work.  boot.log shows that it is unable to write to the partition table.

Have you gotten far enough in your testing to have any results, maybe 
the same as mine?

Any progress towards a release?

Not really. I looked into it but it doesn't seem to be a trivial thing to
do with systemd. RHEL7 ships with a kernel that is new enough and is
capable of online resizing partitions, so the initrd hack is not required.
Is there a specific reason why you need this package in EPEL7?

I've built the package with the patch provided in the bugreport, and it 
tries, but, it fails to be able to write to the partition table, I get 
the same results command line.  I've tried with and without SELinux.   I 
am looking for a automated way to do this, on first boot after a drive 
resize.  So far I haven't found a manual way to do it that works.  I 
know I could create a second PV, and add it to a VG, and then resize the 
LV, but, would prefer not to do it this way, seems messy.
