Thanks Lonnie Looks like a rebuild with Tarsnap restore is the only way. It’s relatively painless but enough of a hassle to reconsider having a smaller partition.

One solution might be to archive/prune via 'scp' or 's3fs' to external storage, keeping a smaller ASTKD partition practical. Otherwise, we don't include any tools to extend the size of the partition.
