How to expand the root partition of your Raspberry PI’s SD card?
After installing a new OS on your PI’s SD card you might notice there is a lot of diskspace ‘missing’ on the card…
By expanding the root partition of the card you can regain that ‘missing’ space!
This is the easiest way to do it:
- open the PI’s configuration screen (in the terminal window) by typing:
sudo raspi-config - run the bottom option just to make sure you have the latest version of the configuration software:
update - run the second option:
expand_rootfs - click:
Finish - select ‘YES‘ when it asks for a reboot
