Can I expand the file system of an image onto a larger SD?

Mon Mar 24, 2014 8:56 pm

I saved an image of an 8GB SD card using win32diskimager.

I then used win32diskimager to write the image to an 16GB SD card. When I booted the Raspberry with the 16GB card and did the df -h command it appeared as if it was only an 8GB SD card.

I then ran sudo raspi-config and selected the 'expand file system' option. raspi-config said it couldn't do it that it probably was already expanded. Am I stuck now using this image only on 8GB SD cards without the benefit of increased disk space?

Thanks
George
