Essentially, use as much of the disk space as is available: ROOTFS_SIZE = (DEVICE_SIZE - BOOT_SIZE - POSSIBLE_OTHER_THINGS) Ideally there would be 2 options: 1. pass in --disk-size 2. pass in --usb-dev=/dev/sde 74142 1 ross.burton 2017-06-14 13:27:09 +0000 So I'm wondering if a useful and workable way to do this would be to have wic handle the writing of the image to the target device. This way it could read the partition table in the image, manipulate it to fill the target device, write that new partition table and the file systems, and finally expand each of the file systems to fill the space. Ideally, as simple as: $ wic write --expand my-image.wic /dev/sdc 74146 2 ross.burton 2017-06-14 15:04:02 +0000 One of our users would like the ability to say eg "give me a 100MB /boot, and expand / to fill the disk", so we'd ideally like quite some flexibility when expanding. 74147 3 eduard.bartosh 2017-06-14 15:08:35 +0000 would it be enough to keep first partition as is and split remaining media space between the rest of partitions? if someone wants to have 100Mb /boot may be better option would be to use --size 100M in .wks? 74151 4 ross.burton 2017-06-14 15:38:48 +0000 I expect so yes. 74890 5 eduard.bartosh 2017-07-10 09:21:09 +0000 Agreed on implementing wic write --expand my-image.wic /dev/sdX in such a way that it will keep first partition unmodified and expand the rest of partitions to fill the media. 75242 6 eduard.bartosh 2017-07-24 07:36:01 +0000 Shifted to M3 75823 7 sgw 2017-08-11 21:53:02 +0000 Staying with Ed to finish up for M3 76156 8 eduard.bartosh 2017-08-25 13:53:28 +0000 Sent patchset for review: http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2017-August/141419.html 76169 9 eduard.bartosh 2017-08-25 20:14:03 +0000 sent v2: http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2017-August/141440.html 76184 10 eduard.bartosh 2017-08-28 09:58:52 +0000 merged into poky master. commit id: 390dcbf2e14f212d81a8fe252cf3ae801b82ffa9
