Description

       For disk based images, allow to resize the image to a new disk geometry. The additional space is free and
       not  in  use  by  the image. The OEM boot code in KIWI NG offers a resizing procedure that can be used to
       make use of the additional free space. For OEM  image  builds,  it  is  advisable  to  run  the  resizing
       operation.
