A few comments: - It looks like the current script doesn't support specifying a file system and just finds the root dev. As a practical matter being able to specify one probably isn't useful without doing the work to extend the last partition on a device, but I could see cases where /usr or the like is on removable media an / is an mdroot or otherwise on fixed size storage. - Being able to specify a size would be useful. For example, I might want to growfs to 2GB by default and expand to the media size later if warranted. - A configurable delay during which ^C causes growfs to be skipped would be useful when testing an image. Growfs on large or very slow media is something I'd like to be able to avoid when I'm just testing. - The shell lines should probably use tab for indentation to match system style and the awk bits. -- Brooks --bg08WKrSYDhXBjb5 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iEYEARECAAYFAlRX0MwACgkQXY6L6fI4GtRklwCfRT1aTetq0Kr87b8tfMb3pwTt 2JsAoJbBpyzXvRsBHJlIsqHfyqJrYmh+ =bVWY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --bg08WKrSYDhXBjb5--
