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

raspi-expand-rootfs.sh

# Run as root.  Expands the root file system.  After running this,
