7000+0 records out
7340032000 bytes transferred in 514.267776 secs (14272782 bytes/sec) # fast!

I had a 32GB SD card, this image transform it to a 7GB memory. To fix to the following (inspired by this:

$ cd /boot

$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lgierth/pimesh/master/files/raspi-expand-rootfs.sh

# Check the partitions

# replace $PART_START with 125001 if fdisk -l shows:
...
/dev/mmcblk0p2      125001 60367871 60242871 28.7G 83 Linux
...

$ chmod -x raspi-expand-rootfs.sh

$ sh raspi-expand-rootfs.sh

$ reboot

After successful reboot, run:

$ resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p2
#!/bin/sh

# Resize the root filesystem of a newly flashed Raspbian image.
# Directly equivalent to the expand_rootfs section of raspi-config.
# No claims of originality are made.

# Run as root. Expands the root file system. After running this,
# reboot and give the resizefs-once script a few minutes to finish expanding the file system.
# Check the file system with 'df -h' once it has run and you should see a size
# close to the known size of your card.
#
# Get the starting offset of the root partition
PART_START=$(parted /dev/mmcblk0 -ms unit s p | grep "^2" | cut -f 2 -d:)
[ "$PART_START" ] || return 1
# Return value will likely be error for fdisk as it fails to reload the
# partition table because the root fs is mounted
