skiff-init-squashfs: resizing persist partition fails
paralin opened this issue · comments
Let's say that we boot to a disk at /, then resize2fs will happily online resize it.
But what we do in skiff-init-squashfs is then mount an overlayfs and a squashfs from / and then chroot into a different root. Then what happens is / is now a chroot, resize2fs doesn't detect that it needs online resizing, and fails to resize it.
There is a fix for this somewhere in making a patch for resize2fs to always do online resizing.

Sounds fun! I created that patch:

It is yet untested, but it's a start.
