Increase size of partition to use unallocated space!(solved)

gonace

Hi
I just switched from Volumio to RuneAudio but ran into a problem, not all the same on the SD Card is used, I'm using a 16Gb SD Card but only 1.9Gb is used!

Is there a way to resize the partition to use the unallocated space?

[root@runeaudio ~]# df -h

/dev/root       1.7G  1.4G  252M  85% /

Hi gonace,

you have to resize your image to fit the sd card.

The procedure depends on the device you are working on.
If you have a RP2 it is like this:
- get access to the console
- enter these commands

fdisk /dev/mmcblk0

* Print out the actual partition table

* Delete the second partition /dev/mmcblk0p2

d
2

* Create a new primary partition and use default sizes prompted. This will then create a partiton that fills the disk

n
p
2
enter
enter

* Save and exit fdisk:

* Now reboot.

reboot

* Once rebooted:

resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p2

HI,

I'm using Pi B version , and tried to extend the disk size to the 8G capacity of my SD card.
Unfortunately, it always failed after 'w" command in fdisk.
Which partition I should delete and rebuild?

[root@runeaudio ~]# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 7.4 GiB, 7948206080 bytes, 15523840 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
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x417ee54b

Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/mmcblk0p1 2048 186367 184320 90M c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/mmcblk0p2 186368 3667967 3481600 1.7G 5 Extended
/dev/mmcblk0p5 188416 3667967 3479552 1.7G 83 Linux

Command (m for help): w
The partition table has been altered.
Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.
Re-reading the partition table failed.: Device or resource busy

I tried partition 2 and partition 5 , both failed during the "w" command.
I'm using RuneAudio_rpi_0.3-beta_20141029_2GB image file.

Thanks, Ponny

Hi Ponny,

please read this.

Re-reading the partition table failed.: Device or resource busy

Can be ignored at this stage.

Hi

I have a 64gb sd card, and want to partition it. I connected to the pi 3 via putty but when I run

fdisk /dev/mmcblk0

I get:

 fdisk: error while loading shared libraries: libfdisk.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Any idea what I can do to fix it?

Thanks

Laurence

Hi Laurence,

pacman -S libutil-linux

should help.
