[Arm-dev] Extending partition on SD card on Rpi-3

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
