How do I resize the partition?

[RenePieters]

Hello,

I just installed the 2014-03-22 image, and things are looking great. However, I' ve got a 16 Gb card, and a 1.6 Gb image.
How do I go about resizing this? From the command line, as this machine is headless.

thanks for your attention,

Rene

If you are using Raspian, like this:

Code: Select all

sudo raspi-config

Ah.

The reason I asked this question in the NetBSD forum is because that is what I'm actually using. I doubt you can copy and paste that script from Raspbian to NetBSD. Will probably blow up big time.

kind regards,

Rene

BSD does everything weird - in terms of the disk partitioning, right?

IIRC, it uses slices and stuff like that instead of the regular stuff that Linux uses. So, no, it probably wouldn't port, nor would the advice to do it manually - the way we used to do it before there was a raspi-config - be likely to work either.

You'll probably have to re-invent it all. But it shouldn't be *that* hard, I guess.

You could try a search on Google using "resize netbsd partition"

Would you be surprised if I told you I already did?

But let me humour you.

Not much, mostly FreeBSD. And I do not know how relevant that is.

I did find this, however: http://wiki.netbsd.org/ports/evbarm/raspberry_pi/

Anyone care to comment as to relevance and accuracy? Is there no better way?
