Description : This dracut module will re-write the partition table of a 
disk so that the
             : root partition has as much space as possible, bumping it 
up to the edge of the
             : disk, or the edge of the next partition.

sorry i can't help you more, i'm not a rpm guy but i assure you that's 
what you need
