During the provisioning of a local VM with cloud-init and parted 2.3.14, cc_growpart fails in auto grow mode with the following error:

2013-08-14 08:07:02,117 - util.py[DEBUG]: Running command ['parted', 'resizepart', '/dev/vda', '1'] with allowed return codes [0] (shell=False, capture=True)

/dev/vda1 is not resized to use entire disk space and limited to 2GB.

This bug was fixed in the package cloud-init - 0.7.3~bzr858-0ubuntu1

---

cloud-init (0.7.3~bzr858-0ubuntu1) saucy; urgency=low

• New upstream snapshot.
  • fix resizing of root partition by preferring the functional 'growpart'
    support over the broken 'parted resizepart' support (LP: #1212444)
  • add options for apt_ftp_proxy, apt_https_proxy and apt_config
    (LP: #1057195)

I verified this fix in todays image of saucy after 'apt-get install cloud-init && reboot'. the root filesystem is then correctly grown.
$ cat /etc/cloud/build.info
build_name: server
serial: 20130815

Tomorrows (20130816) should have the new cloud-init inside.

Looks like the arguments to parted are backwards.

Phillip,
Right. They were backwards, that is fixed now in trunk, but still resizepart is broken. The fix applied was just to prefer growpart based resizing over parted. I'll do further fixing under bug 1212492.
