I first found the instructions at http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:Expanding_File_System_Partition_On_A_microSD which are a bit outdated. there was only 1 partition on the Debian Jesse image I still came across this issue though as my partition started on a different sector so I thought it would be a good to add to this thread when I came across it while searching for instructions.
in cases where the only partition has a different start sector, the new partition should also start on the same sector for my case the partition started on 8192 as found from fdisk /dev/mmcblk0 Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/mmcblk0p1 8192 124735487 124727296 59.5G 83 Linux when creating the new partition, the number under start should be used. (8192 in my case) instead of using the default of 2048 after I did this I was able to resize the file system without issue On Thursday, September 8, 2016 at 2:36:56 PM UTC-4, [email protected] wrote: > > This worked for me as well on BBB Jessie.
