#13113 — disabling boot time automatic rootfs resize

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Good day

Have been trying to disable the root boot time automatic rootfs resize for
devices running arm such as the RPi, Odroid, RockPi etc... with little to
no success.
Is there any way to do this? The systems running the 'cloud-init' packages
like ubuntu have given us a means to disable it, however am unable to find
any documentation on the
debian system doing this?

would really appreciate it if you got back to me

Thank you
Kind Regards

Normal Debian installs do not alter the rootfs size after installation,
so you must be using a custom image with extra packages installed.

If you are using the Debian images for RPi, the site for that gives a
procedure for disabling/limiting the first-boot filesystem resize step:

https://raspi.debian.net/defaults-and-settings/

For other images you will need to consult the folks who created them.

cloud-init is available in Debian too, but I assume like something that
would only be used on cloud images, not on ARM images.

Hi Paul

Thank you for the response... have attempted the dummy partition method
previously and the system would reach the listing of connected devices and
basically hang there forever. Found a work around however it involves
shuffling around the partition order... not ideal!

What I am attempting to do is create three partitions, the first would be
the "boot", the second would be the "root" and the third would be an "EPD"
( External Persistent Device  ) to store data on that I would like to share
between different distributions allowing me to swap out without the fear of
data loss.

If you are using the images provided by the Debian RPi team,
please file a bug report with them about this issue.

https://raspi.debian.net/contact

For other images you will need to consult the folks who created them.

Not sure if that's the Debian image (I don't think the Debian image for 
RPi has cloud-init), though with cloud-init, you may simply disable some 
modules in /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.

I hope that helps,
Cheers,
