cc_growpart:
description: |
Growpart resizes partitions to fill the available disk space. This is
useful for cloud instances with a larger amount of disk space available
than the pristine image uses, as it allows the instance to automatically
make use of the extra space.
Note that this only works if the partition to be resized is the last one
on a disk with classic partitioning scheme (MBR, BSD, GPT). LVM, Btrfs and
ZFS have no such restrictions.
The devices on which to run growpart are specified as a list under the
``devices`` key.
There is some functionality overlap between this module and the
``growroot`` functionality of ``cloud-initramfs-tools``. However, there
are some situations where one tool is able to function and the other is
not. The default configuration for both should work for most cloud
instances. To explicitly prevent ``cloud-initramfs-tools`` from running
``growroot``, the file ``/etc/growroot-disabled`` can be created.
By default, both ``growroot`` and ``cc_growpart`` will check for the
existence of this file and will not run if it is present. However, this
file can be ignored for ``cc_growpart`` by setting
``ignore_growroot_disabled`` to ``true``.

``cloud-initramfs-tools``.
On FreeBSD, there is also the ``growfs`` service, which has a lot of
overlap with ``cc_growpart`` and ``cc_resizefs``, but only works on the
root partition. In that configuration, we use it, otherwise, we fall back
to ``gpart``.
.. note::
``growfs`` may insert a swap partition, if none is present, unless
instructed not to via ``growfs_swap_size=0`` in either ``kenv(1)``, or
``rc.conf(5)``.
Growpart is enabled by default on the root partition. The default config
for growpart is:
.. code-block:: yaml
growpart:
mode: auto
devices: [\"/\"]
ignore_growroot_disabled: false
