cloud provider: self-hosted, proxmox

cloud-init config:
growpart:
  mode: auto
  devices:
    - /dev/sda1
    - /dev/sdb1
    - /dev/sdc1
    - /dev/sdd1

I have a multi disk btrfs volume as root fs for the vm.
Each disk needs to grow on first boot and the btrfs filesystem should be resized.
Partitions are grown just fine and btrfs detects that, however, running btrfs filesystem resize max / as currently used in

cloud-init/cloudinit/config/cc_resizefs.py

Line 81 in bae9b11

return ("btrfs", "filesystem", "resize", "max", mount_point)

does not account for having multiple disks.

From the btrfs-filesystem man page (debian 11, Btrfs v5.10.1):

The devid can be found in the output of btrfs filesystem show and defaults to 1 if not specified.

Since a devid is not passed only the first disk will be resized, other disks will stay with "slack" space.

This is after I manually resized disk id 2 for testing, before it also had 3GiB slack:

Thank you for the detailed report. This is a use case we should support.
