Pisces + MATE: Use the whole SD Card

Thu Apr 11, 2013 8:08 pm

I recently installed Pisces + MATE on my raspi, and i noticed that its not using all of the 64gb SD card. Its instead using ~3gb. I was told from someone to use gparted to fix the issue, but he stopped helping when i asked how to do it. So how do i use the remaining 61gb?

DonVito,
Try ~$ sudo raspi-config, then select the option to "Expand root file system to use entire SD card".

OOPs, wasn't reading very close, but gparted is pretty self explanitory.

I've used this method on multiple distros for the Pi and its worked every time. Of course, do this at your own risk, YMMV etc

Open a root terminal and type/press the following in sequence

fdisk /dev/mmcblk0
d
2
n
p
2
enter
enter
w
shutdown -r now
resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p2
