the beginning of the next partition.
EXAMPLES
Extend partition 1 in /dev/sda to fill empty space until end of disk or next partition
growpart /dev/sda 1
Extend partition 2 in disk image my.image.
growpart my.image 2
EXIT STATUS

and it could be grown. The exit status is 1 if the partition could not be grown due to
lack of available space. The exit status is 2 if an error occurred.
