    Also consider that the /boot partition may not be larger enough for
    more than 3 kernels.  Note that we are having kernels problems over
    on fedora28.  I have 6 kernels until I am confident that they have
    finally fixed the weird problems we are seeing.  Now Centos would
    probably not be in a kernel of the week mode, so we may NOT need a
    larger /boot partition.<br>
    <br>
    But after my Fedora experience I will probably increase /boot by
    50%....<br>
    <br>
    Also swap is pretty small if you are running a lot of server tasks. 
    But then that does depend on how much real memory on your board.<br>

      If you have a Linux desktop, try something like gparted.  I have
      used this since I started with Fedora-arm 18.  It makes it easy to
      resize all your partitions.<br>
      <br>
      Since I use Cubieboards, I can build a small mSD card with only
      the uboot on it and put all the partitions on a sata drive.  I
      believe that other Allwinner uboots (for boards with sata) work
      this way.<br>
      <br>
      So I can drop the image on a sata drive, enlarge and move all the
      partitions and I am ready to go.<br>

                <div>I have run into this same issue and have a brief
                  (and rough) guide if you wish to try it out.</div>
                <div><br>
                </div>
                <div>First, run "df -h" and see what your current "/"
                  partition size is. I think with the default image,
                  it's somewhere around 1.8GB.</div>
                <div><br>
                </div>
                <div>Next, you should be able to run "growpart
                  /dev/mmcblkx n" where x likely refers to mmcblk0 and n
                  is the partition number, it should be 3. This will
                  grow your 3rd partition to the maximum available size,
                  but I believe you should be able to specify your 6GB
                  size.</div>
                <div><br>
                </div>
                <div>Once that is complete, run "e2fsck /dev/mmcblk0p3"
                  to verify filesystem integrity and then "resize2fs
                  /dev/mmcblk0p3" to expand the ext4 partition. </div>
                <div><br>
                </div>
                <div>If you run "df -h" after this, you should be able
                  to see your now larger "/" partition.</div>
                <div><br>
                </div>
                <div>Let me know if you have any issues with this. I've
                  been looking for a reason to organize my thoughts on
                  this.</div>
