[Buildroot] [PATCH 4/4] board/raspberrypi: auto-expand rootfs on first boot

Benoît Thébaudeau benoit at wsystem.com
Sat Aug 22 20:01:28 UTC 2015


Add init scripts to auto-expand the persistent rootfs on the first boot
to fill the medium.

These scripts follow the same procedure as raspi-config. The root
partition is first expanded, then a reboot is required, then the rootfs
is expanded. Each script removes itself once run.

The volatile (initramfs) rootfs is not affected by this change.

The instructions in readme.txt are updated accordingly.
