Raspberry Pi post-install grow partition question

$

I just downloaded the latest Raspberry Pi image (thankks Matthias!) and installed it on a 16Gb MicroSD card. My original intention was to use it with the new Raspi Model B+ but I see this is a work in progress, so I'm using it on a spare Model B.

So, what I noticed after the DD was complete I was left with a 150Mb and a 2Gb partition, which meant that I had about 13Gb wasted space. I used gparted on my Linux box to grow the 2Gb partition to fill the MicroSD card and /dev/root now says that I have a 15Gb partition with 13Gb free. :)o

Is this the right/acceptable way to do this?

edit: on a Raspbian-based system you'd normally do this with raspi-config, but this is my first Arch install and I don't think it's supplied with that.
