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

create Swap (optional)
