 Additional roles are planned to support shrinking logical volumes to make free space available in a volume group and relocating physical volumes to enable increasing the size of a /boot /partition.

+# bigboot
+
+The `bigboot` role is used to increase boot partition.
+
+The role is designed to support the automation of RHEL in-place upgrades, but can also be used for other purposes.
+
+## Contents
+
+The role contains the shell scripts to increase the size of the boot partition, as well as the script wrapping it to run as part of the pre-mount step during the boot process.
+Finally, there is a copy of the [`sfdisk`](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/sfdisk.8.html) binary with version `2.38.1` to ensure the extend script will work regardless of the `util-linux` package installed in the target host.
+
+## Role Variables
+
+### `bigboot_size`
+
+The variable `bigboot_size` sets the target size of the boot partition after the role has completed.
+The value can be either in bytes or with optional single letter suffix (1024 bases).
+See `Unit options` type `iec` of [`numfmt`](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/numfmt.1.html)
+
+
+## Example of a playbook to run the role
+The following yaml is an example of a playbook that runs the role against a group of hosts named `rhel` and increasing the size of its boot partition by 1G.
+The boot partition is automatically retrieved by the role by identifying the existing mounted partition to `/boot` and passing the information to the script using the `kernel_opts`.
+
+```yaml
+- name: Extend boot partition playbook
+  hosts: all
+  vars:
+    bigboot_size: 1G
+  roles:
+    - bigboot
+```
+
+# Validate execution
+The script will add an entry to the kernel messages (`/dev/kmsg`) with success or failure and the time it took to process.
+In case of failure, it may also include an error message retrieved from the execution of the script.
+
+A successful execution will look similar to this:
+```bash
+[root@localhost ~]# dmesg |grep pre-mount
+[  357.163522] [dracut-pre-mount] Boot partition /dev/vda1 successfully increased by 1G (356 seconds)
+```
