Hi Team,
Being new to the Linux world, I have installed Centos for R Pi3 on a 16gb microSD card, and partitions are done by default, leaving less space for root file system. Here is what I get.
This is the second time I am running into this issue.
Can anyone help me with the steps to increase the size for /dev/root to 6G please.
Operating System: CentOS Linux 7 (Core) CPE OS Name: cpe:/o:centos:centos:7 Kernel: Linux 4.14.27-v7.1.el7 Architecture: arm
[root@rpi ~]# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/root 1.4G 999M 347M 75% / devtmpfs 460M 0 460M 0% /dev tmpfs 464M 0 464M 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 464M 12M 452M 3% /run tmpfs 464M 0 464M 0% /sys/fs/cgroup /dev/mmcblk0p1 667M 43M 625M 7% /boot tmpfs 93M 0 93M 0% /run/user/0
Any help is highly appreciated.
There is a script called rootfs-expand which should do exactly that. Please let us know who it went.
Pablo.

Vamsi,
I have run into this same issue and have a brief (and rough) guide if you wish to try it out.
First, run "df -h" and see what your current "/" partition size is. I think with the default image, it's somewhere around 1.8GB.
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.
Once that is complete, run "e2fsck /dev/mmcblk0p3" to verify filesystem integrity and then "resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p3" to expand the ext4 partition.
If you run "df -h" after this, you should be able to see your now larger "/" partition.
Let me know if you have any issues with this. I've been looking for a reason to organize my thoughts on this.
Thanks!
Chris

And just to follow up, you can omit the "e2fsck" command. Simply a growpart and then a resize2fs should be sufficient, as I have just tested it.
Thanks,

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.
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.
So I can drop the image on a sata drive, enlarge and move all the partitions and I am ready to go.

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.
But after my Fedora experience I will probably increase /boot by 50%....
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.
