Hello Igor,

 

your Image resizes itself upon boot to full SD card size. Is it possible to reenable this process again?

 

I know I simply could resize with GParted or similar tools. But I'd rather reuse it the way your image did on first boot.

 

Thank you.

This is a part of firstrun and resize2fs scripts.

update.rc firstrun defaults

you will get a ssh keys rebuild and apt-get update with this which is harmless. Just to note.

It looks like the resize2fs command has been split out from firstrun.

 

Is it still possible to expand the filesystem as it did on first boot? I tried:

 

sudo systemctl enable resize2fs
sudo update-rc.d resize2fs defaults

sudo reboot

 

But it did not resize the partition.

update-rc not work for me, but standart online resize work.

first create backup image then:

sudo cfdisk /dev/mmcblk0

delete partition and re-create (this can be risky, parttition mist start from same sector - in this case 2048), save and then:

sudo resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p1

if resize2fs can't resize, reboot and run resize2fs again

then you can check disk at next boot:

sudo touch /forcefsck

this is for expanding partition.

for shrinking (this is risky), first resize2fs with lower size, then delete and re-create partition with smaller size, but bigger than size after resize2fs, after that you can clone and expand partition to fill new card...

I was just looking at that again because of another post, and noticed that on line 66 $capacity is lowercase, and on line 73 it's uppercase ($CAPACITY)? Aren't shell script variables case sensitive? :wacko:  Thus making it so the 8GB condition never fires???

It would appear the resize2fs has been moved to a different location.

Try this one : /usr/lib/armbian/armbian-resize-filesystem

Sorry to pick up that old thread, but I want to add another resolution.

Yesterday I got from @martinayotte the hint, that `sudo systemctl start armbian-resize-filesystem` is working ( I checked it with Armbian 5.70 and it works).

Neither of above method didn't work for me. But your worked!

Hence, thank you!
