The cloud-init package has growpart module which apparently can resize partitions. It uses gpart utility which is in official repositories or growroot utility which is part of cloud-utils package [10]. Try it out. It might actually be sufficient.
Interesting! Their usage of gpart ("gpart resize -i ...") reveals that gpart has a very different (and incompatible) usage on FreeBSD and Linux and that cloud-init actually expect the FreeBSD version. Maybe that's why they support both growpart and gpart. I have just uploaded a first auto-generated image with growing filesystem to try here now: http://linuximages.de/openstack/arch/
Creating an OpenStack images manually takes debugging and time to figure things out. That alone may be a reason why some people would either use something ready to use or to save the trouble altogether. I don't see why people would want OpenStack images for Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, Fedora, Gentoo, but not Arch Linux.
Yeah, probably.
Anyway, if you will successfully create OpenStack image I hope you will share your experience on ArchWiki somewhere.
I added a few words at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OpenStack#Images now for a start.
I overreacted. For some reason I thought that tone of your mail was a bit bossy.
I see. Thanks for that explanation, I appreciate it.
In the end, I hope you will create a basement of the official way to use Arch on OpenStack.
Glad to hear.
