      Hello everyone! The software does not require a special explanation on how to use Linux with the ability to resize. Just for your information: It is possible to create Linux systems with this type of image if the following criteria are met
      The Grub bootloader is present.
      LVM is not used.
      The partitions include ext2, ext3, ext4,
      reiserfs, and/or swap.
      The swap partition should be moved from the extended partition.

      So, the question is, are there any suggestions for resizing, and is it even possible at this point?

        @slawa-jad I’m not sure I fully understand your question.

        The exact information you posted tells you what is needed for resizing linux images. So yes, it is possible.

          This is indicated from the website:https://docs.fogproject.org/en/latest/management/web/images/#multiple-partition-image-single-disk-not-resizable
          It does not change the partitions and can be installed on the same or more in theory. How to make it possible to install on devices with less memory. Because there’s still a lot of empty space where the image is being taken from. That is, I want what is specified in single-disk-resizable https://docs.fogproject.org/en/latest/management/web/images/#single-disk-resizable.
          I hope I explained it correctly

          I’ll give you an example, I have a 964 GB disk on my computer. Many computers had a broken ssd and had to be replaced with another one and the final size of the new 946 GB. I remove the image and it gets an error due to the fact that the disk is not the same size. If you select Single Disk - Resizable, then the Linux system does not start after deployment. And if I choose Multiple Partition Image - Single Disk (Not Resizable), then everything is fine set to the same size and everything is fine. But how to make sure that the golden image of Linux is installed everywhere, is it possible and what actions should be done if possible

            @slawa-jad Single disk resizable is able to be put on smaller/larger drives and it should be expanding once the image completes.

            The “Fixed size” partitions wouldn’t be touched as far as size goes because that’s expected.

            I think we need more details to understand and help with he issue. Resizable does what it seems you’re saying it’s not doing. Please help us help you with more details such as Images of the error’s you’re seeing, and what you’ve tried.
