Resize

Default installation is limited to 2GB, if you want to expand it, you can, provided you have installed it on a bigger SD-card and want to make use of the space.

• Size will be changed with parted
• parted /dev/sdx
• show size with "print free"

1. (parted) print free # Model: USB Mass Storage Device (scsi)
2. Disk /dev/sdc: 7965MB# Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B# Partition Table: msdos

Number	Start	End	Size	Type	File system	Flags
	32,3kB	1049kB	1016kB		Free Space
1	1049kB	53,5MB	52,4MB	primary	fat32
2	53,5MB	1933MB	1879MB	primary	ext4
	1933MB	7965MB	6032MB		Free Space

we would like to resize the second partition to the nearly end ( -512MB for swap )

1. (parted) resizepart # Partition number? 2 # Warning: Partition /dev/sdc2 is being used. Are you sure you want to continue?# Yes/No? YES # End? [1933MB]? 7453MB this is how the partitions looks like after

(parted) print free * Model: USB Mass Storage Device (scsi)* Disk /dev/sdc: 7965MB* Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B* Partition Table: msdos
