Dear all Did I mentioned that I got my Pi few days ago and immediately installed Redsleeve!?! Both Pi and Redsleeve are AWESOME! ;-)
Before I digress - I installed Redsleeve on a 4GB SDHC Card. The default installation which I followed using instructions here - http://wiki.redsleeve.org/index.php/Install_Rasperry_Pi - works perfectly, but left free space available on the SD Card. Being too lazy to plug in the SD Card onto a another Linux-based machine, I simply deleted the /dev/mmcblk0p2 partition from inside the live Pi system itself! After deleting it, I recreated the partition, making full use of the whole free space available. After writing the table and quiting fdisk, the only error I encountered are as below - Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 3965 MB, 3965190144 bytes 4 heads, 16 sectors/track, 121008 cylinders, total 7744512 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x000ee283 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/mmcblk0p1 * 2048 264191 131072 c W95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/mmcblk0p2 264192 7744511 3740160 83 Linux Command (m for help): w The partition table has been altered! Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table. WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device or resource busy. The kernel still uses the old table. The new table will be used at the next reboot or after you run partprobe(8) or kpartx(8) Syncing disks. [root@raspberrypi ~]# shutdown -r now As shown above. I immediately rebooted the machine and the first thing I did was to execute the command "resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p2". I would like to report, the partition resize excercise completes successfully! Woohoo! Hope someone find this useful. Sincere regards and thanks! Maulvi
