 ## Resizing image
-Currently resizing is only limited to expanding single `ext{2,3,4}` partition with `resize2fs`. This is often requested feature where already built image is given and we need to expand the main partition to accomodate changes made in provisioner step (ie. installing packages).

 To resize a partition you need to set `image_build_method` to `resize` mode and set selected partition size to `0`, for example:
