Some options not being adhered in the finished image. #111

When I build an image with the crochet tool for rpi2 I have two options that doesn't seem to be honoured.

Option Growfs

The / is not resized to use maximum amount of the card (this is a 8 GB card), I am only getting /dev/mmcsd0s2a 3.5G 1.8G 1.3G 58% /

When running df -h

In /etc/rc.conf I see:

# On first boot, enlarge the root filesystem to fill the SD card growfs_enable="YES"

So the directive is added. But nothing is happening.

Running service growfs start manually does resize the partition.

This is not the case with the rpi2 image on ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/arm/armv6/ISO-IMAGES/11.0/ That one resizes.

option SwapFile 512mb file=/usr/swap0 Swapfile is created but is not used. There is no output in top for it either.

swap is also defined in /etc/fstab but not mounted.

(How do I submit my configfile?)

Adding late option to swap-line got the swap mounted for me. md none swap sw,file=/usr/swap0,late 0 0

I've added 'late' to fstab entry created for SwapFile Thank you for pointing that out.

I'll try using the Growfs option on my own next image and see if I can puzzle anything out.

Ah. I believe this is all fixed now. The key issue for growfs: Crochet is now using the standard /etc/rc.d/growfs script to handle this, which in turn relies on "firstboot" logic which requires a new image to have a file called /firstboot

Crochet now adds a /firstboot file when installing world.
