An update that has one fix can now be installed.

Description:

This update for python-kiwi fixes the following issue:

  • Skip filesystem check for XFS prior xfs_grow. (bsc#1174009)

Running xfs_repair check isn't strictly necessary before resizing, and in some cases it may even prevent resizing by giving an error that would be cleared through mounting the fs (e.g. when the fs wasn't cleanly unmounted, and thus letting xfs recover and replay its journal). Given that xfs can only grow online (while being mounted), this is sufficient to ensure that the fs is in a state where it can be resized.
