Hi Paul
Thank you for the response... have attempted the dummy partition method previously and the system would reach the listing of connected devices and basically hang there forever. Found a work around however it involves
shuffling around the partition order... not ideal!
What I am attempting to do is create three partitions, the first would be
the "boot", the second would be the "root" and the third would be an "EPD"
( External Persistent Device ) to store data on that I would like to share between different distributions allowing me to swap out without the fear of data loss.

Normal Debian installs do not alter the rootfs size after installation,
so you must be using a custom image with extra packages installed.
If you are using the Debian images for RPi, the site for that gives a procedure for disabling/limiting the first-boot filesystem resize step:
https://raspi.debian.net/defaults-and-settings/
For other images you will need to consult the folks who created them.
Is there any way to do this? The systems running the 'cloud-init'
packages like ubuntu have given us a means to disable it, however am
unable to find any documentation on the debian system doing this?
cloud-init is available in Debian too, but I assume like something that
would only be used on cloud images, not on ARM images.
