NAME
kiwi::image::resize - Resize disk images to new geometry

SYNOPSIS

kiwi-ng [global options] service <command> [<args>]

kiwi-ng image resize --target-dir=<directory> --size=<size>
    [--root=<directory>]
kiwi-ng image resize help

DESCRIPTION

For disk based images, allow to resize the image to a new disk geometry. The additional space is free and not in use by the image. In order to make use of the additional free space a repartition process is required like it is provided by kiwi's oem boot code. Therefore the resize operation is useful for oem image builds most of the time.

OPTIONS

--root=<directory>
    The path to the root directory, if not specified kiwi searches the root directory in build/image-root below the specified target directory

--size=<size>
    New size of the image. The value is either a size in bytes or can be specified with m=MB or g=GB. Example: 20g

--target-dir=<directory>
    Directory containing the kiwi build results
