Manually resizing the SD card using a GUI with GParted | |
If you are using a PC with a linux distribution to resize the partitions, you can run GParted to resize the partitions using a GUI. This method is tested on Ubuntu 10.10 using the Gnome desktop. Versions of GParted differ slightly in their GUIs. For Windows users, it is also possible to follow the same procedure (less the installation) using the live version of GParted (GParted Live CD/USB/PXE/HD). | |
GParted can be installed using: | |
sudo apt-get install gparted | |
Note: I had to physically remove and re-insert the SD card from the card reader after writing the image before the partitions were recognised properly and the following could be done. | |
Start GParted (on my system it is [System]->[Administration]->[GParted Partition editor]). | |
Select the drive corresponding to your SD card (was /dev/sdh/ on my system). You now see the partitions mentioned above (with some tiny unallocated areas in between and a large one after). |
