Juerg, I'm interested/willing to help with this. I'd like for growpart to have support for GPT partitions also. Please let me know how I can help. One exciting thing is that newer kernels now support 'update' of a partition table, that should be a good fit for simplistic growing like we're interested in. util-linux has recently gained the ability to tell the kernel to update its partition table view at [1]. What that means is that going forward we won't have to do this stuff inside the initramfs, and I'd like for cloud-init to be able to drive it itself. -- [1] http://git.kernel.org/?p=utils/util-linux/util-linux.git;a=commitdiff;h=3b905b794e93609af7e42459d32b27e7c18ce02e
