The rc.d script enlarges the "final partition" on partitionedgeoms, or the UFS filesystem or zpool device when triggered on a diskcontaining either of those.Reviewed by: imp, ziaeeMFC after: 2 weeksRelnotes: Disk partitions and filesystems can be enlarged automatically when disks grow by setting growfs_postboot_enable=YES in /etc/rc.conf.Sponsored by: AmazonDifferential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D58582 List of files: /freebsd/sbin/devd/growfs_postboot.conf Thu, 30 Jul 2026 22:20:51 +0200 Colin Percival <cperciva@FreeBSD.org>
