SD-size problem with Noobs
#1
Hi,

I just installed the noobs version on a fresly FAT-formatted 32GB microsd.

Then, when I see the partitions it makes after the first boot, about 30 GB is missing.
I see only 270 MB of space on root, of which about 60 MB used. On the recovery partititon it has about 1,2 GB of space.

I cannot resize the partitions using the old raspi-config because this is the Noobs version.

Do you have any tips to be able to use the entire SD-card?

Hummm, if you had another SD card with Raspibian on it, you could put your mis-sized SD card into a USB holder and plug it into a USB port. Then install gparted (sudo apt install gparted). Using that tool you can check the partition, which will also re-size it.

Sorry, that may be clear as mud...

If you are doing this headless, you can do it from the command line using parted, which will be installed when you install gparted.

Here's a description of the appropriate commands. Look for "resize".

Thanks! I just happened to have a Raspian-SD-card, and that worked perfectly!

Does sudo raspi-config not work? 

Seems to be fine here from a noobs installation.

I think i used sudo. Raspi-config works. It just wouldn't resize in noobs. The size should already be the entire SD (except the recovery partiiton). It tells me that resize should not be necessary in noobs anyway.
