Script for resizing data partition #36

Open TomaszAIR opened 1 year ago

TomaszAIR commented 1 year ago

The problem you're addressing (if any)

data partition is set to 512M and most of the time system boots from SD cards that have 16G/32G which left us with at least ~12G of not used space that could be used e.g. as images storage

Describe the solution you'd like

a script that on boot would check if there is a possibility to resize last partition and if there is, does it

Where is the value to a user, and who might that user be?

lot of space for data

Describe alternatives you've considered

preparing new partition layout, but this script could be provided by OTA and works on machines without reflashing whole image

Additional context

This issue and recent interest in RTE brings the idea that RTE could become self-hosted all-in-one open-source firmware CI/CD, validation, and deployment system, which is related to my vision expressed in https://github.com/Dasharo/dasharo-issues/issues/468#issuecomment-1643696857
