No, you can't resize mounted partition.

Could this also be used from cloud-init to avoid having to reboot such as we have to do today with growpart/reboot/pvresize/lvextend/resize2fs on RHEL 6 ?

Hi Robert: 





Excellent. Does it work if swap is the last partition? e.g.: 





NAME FSTYPE LABEL MOUNTPOINT 
sda 
├─sda1 ext4 /boot 
├─sda2 ext4 / 
└─sda3 swap [SWAP]

Yes, it works. Thanks for bringing this up, I had to change soft linking of kernel to copy. 

Tested on Centos 6.4 and Debian 7 with partition scheme like: 

NAME FSTYPE LABEL MOUNTPOINT 
sda 
├─sda1 ext4 /boot 
├─sda2 swap [SWAP] 
└─sda3 ext4 / 

I assume Debian 6 works also, since is almost the same as 7.

I'll test this today and report back. I belive it should work.

Robert: 


Does it work if there's a boot and/or swap partition, or does it require there be a single disk partition?

Hello, 

I have reworked my previous tool I've made for CentOS. New tool supports CentOS, Debian 6 and Debian 7, other distros can be added without much work (I hope). 

As before, LVM is not supported (yet), but I'm working on it(TM).
