I've been having serious issues trying to expand the file system in userland 7 on large micro-sd's. No problem with 32Gb or smaller but expanding a 64Gb or 128Gb turns the system into a brick and I have to rewrite the install image. Before expanding, the systems run fine on the large (mostly unused) micro-sd cards... Tried this on both Pi2 and Pi3. Ideas? What am I missing?
Thanks in advance for any advice...

TBH I don't think someone tested it on something bigger than 32Gb (at least on my side). Something maybe to investigate at the code level ? the rootfs-resize tool/code is located here : https://github.com/ctyler/rootfs-resize So maybe something to report upstream (in the "issues" section) and then see if we can rebuild a fixed rpm (that we'd then use in the new images, but also we'd put it in the extras repo)
Thanks. I'll raise the issue.
