Would like to have parted in a version which includes the resizepart command
Good evening,
I was surprised that the parted version provided in rhel 7 has no command to resize a partition. The resize command was removed from parted after version 2.4. But in the documentation of parted section 2.4.10 there is the command resizepart available.
As mentioned in Bugzilla Bug 1423357 I would like to get parted upgraded to a version which provided the new command to resize a partition. Please subscribe to the bug and leave a comment if you would like to have this feature, too. I hope that I am not the only one who like to get this feature.
Thanks.
Joerg

To be honest, most of my VMs only have two partitions - "/" and "/boot" - and typically have to rely on the initramfs scripts to do it. Most of the time that I'm resizing partitions on other disks (e.g. for a grown LUN or an Elastic EBS), I simply lay down a new VTOC and specify my last partition as just <STARTBLOCK> 100%.
But, more features are generally a good thing, so, I'll subscribe. =)
