Hello,  
I flashed my jetson tx2 with a dunfell yocto image.  
The partition sizes are quite weird. The data partition is very small sized.  
I’d like to know if it’s possible to increase the size of data parition with a mender update.

You could possibly write a custom update module to do that but keep in mind that any modification of the partition table is risky and you could end up bricking your device.
