How would you do that? I already stated that I could not use parted to
resize the partition and I know of no other tool capable of resizing the
resulting partition. How do you get the space to even be able to add a
new partition? To be clear, let's say I have my USB key /dev/sdb and
that I'll put my isohybrid image onto it using dd. Now, I'll then have a
recursive partition on itself (default offset 0). How to proceed to add
another partition for persistent storage?
