Summary0009052: Raspberry PI image: boot partition too small
Description

Dear maintainers,

I just installed the raspi image on my raspi 2 B+. Everything is working fine, but it is not possible, to upgrade to a new kernel.
The reason is, the boot partition by default is too small, to fit two kernels and two initrds at the same time (which is needed during upgrade).

A workaround is, to resize the image with gparted, however, this did not work, as it was grown, but linux still saw the old size. For ext2/3/4 there is a tool, which can corect this, but as this is FAT32, I found no tool, which does this.

Workaround of workaround: Copy all files from the FAT32 to another medium, then format the partion and relabel it as "BOOT" and at last copy back.

So it would be nice, if you could create a greater BOOT partition in your images for RasPi. I suppose, this might include all RasPI-images.

Thank you very much, hope this helps.

Best regards

Hans
