Description Ross Burton 2019-04-30 10:31:13 UTC 
I've a wic image with a 1GB rootfs.  I've a 60GB USB stick that I want to fill.  If I use --expand=auto then all the partitions are expanded: 20GB /boot, 20GB /, 20G swap.

Using --expand 0:0-1:50G-2:0 should mean that boot and swap are not expanded but that fails:

...
INFO: copying unchanged partition 3
ERROR: Not supported fstype: linux-swap(v1)
