automatic growth of `/data` partition

[Maik93]

Hi, since this layer adds kernel A/B partions after data partition, it's growth is invalidated if trying to use the feature mender-growfs-data.

Is there already a fix for this problem? I suppose that it would be enougth to create kernel partition before data, but I don't know how to achieve that, neither if there would be side effects.

Any suggestion is greatly appreciated, and again thanks for your effort on this project!

That's true, and (unless mender had changed things from when I implemented this) I'm not sure there is a good fix.

The kernel partitions are configured using the MENDER_EXTRA_PARTS variable (from meta-mender), which I think is currently incompatible with the mender-growfs-data feature.

Personally, I've just been dealing with the hassle of having 100+G image files to feal with....

Looks like there is some discussion (and a possible implementation strategy outlined) here: https://hub.mender.io/t/mender-growfs-data-and-extra-partitions/4050/7
