How do you manage that with dd images? AFAIK they have a fixed partition size and simply don't use the space of bigger cards. So an 8GB dd image expanded onto a 16GB card gives an 8GB file system.

Yes, I know. If it works (has some subtle issues I don't remember in detail).

And if you want to change partition sizes (if we have 2 partitions) it is also possible in combination with fdisk.

But if you have to run an additional tool on the result, why not do it in one step (./makesd ...) and right from the beginning?
