Its not configurable at the moment.  Thats not to say that it couldn't be,
but the code as it is right now just attempt to resize the device that '/'
is on.

It just does:
    st_dev = os.stat("/").st_dev
    dev = os.makedev(os.major(st_dev), os.minor(st_dev))
    os.mknod(devpth, 0400 | stat.S_IFBLK, dev)

    cmd = ['blkid', '-c', '/dev/null', '-sTYPE', '-ovalue', devpth]

So whatever dev major and minor / is on it should attempt to resize.

It just gets the device by os.stat("/") because that was the most reliable
way I could think to get the device name of /, independent of root=.
