Hello Igor,

 

your Image resizes itself upon boot to full SD card size. Is it possible to reenable this process again?

 

I know I simply could resize with GParted or similar tools. But I'd rather reuse it the way your image did on first boot.

 

Thank you.

This is a part of firstrun and resize2fs scripts.

update.rc firstrun defaults

you will get a ssh keys rebuild and apt-get update with this which is harmless. Just to note.

Well, that was easy. Thank you a lot!

update-rc firstrun defaults

Just for reference:

 

I had the issue that the filesystem did not expand on my OPI Zero. 

The command is now update-rc.d firstrun defaults

 Like this

Just as a reference: the rootfs resizing moved in the meantime: 

 

It looks like the resize2fs command has been split out from firstrun.

 

Is it still possible to expand the filesystem as it did on first boot? I tried:

 

sudo systemctl enable resize2fs
sudo update-rc.d resize2fs defaults

sudo reboot

 

But it did not resize the partition.

update-rc not work for me, but standart online resize work.

first create backup image then:

sudo cfdisk /dev/mmcblk0

delete partition and re-create (this can be risky, parttition mist start from same sector - in this case 2048), save and then:

sudo resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p1

if resize2fs can't resize, reboot and run resize2fs again

then you can check disk at next boot:

sudo touch /forcefsck

this is for expanding partition.

for shrinking (this is risky), first resize2fs with lower size, then delete and re-create partition with smaller size, but bigger than size after resize2fs, after that you can clone and expand partition to fill new card...

Just for the record: Armbian's method does a few things differently: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/af560222c7f08034a8dbe218249a989aab478e46/scripts/resize2fs#L61-L65 (so an '/etc/init.d/resize2fs start' is the way I would prefer)

I was just looking at that again because of another post, and noticed that on line 66 $capacity is lowercase, and on line 73 it's uppercase ($CAPACITY)? Aren't shell script variables case sensitive?   Thus making it so the 8GB condition never fires???

They are. Thank you for reporting.

Worked perfect for me thanks.

I have tried  '/etc/init.d/resize2fs start', but I receive "command not found error".

 

It would appear the resize2fs has been moved to a different location.

Try this one : /usr/lib/armbian/armbian-resize-filesystem

 

Sorry to pick up that old thread, but I want to add another resolution.

Yesterday I got from @martinayotte the hint, that `sudo systemctl start armbian-resize-filesystem` is working ( I checked it with Armbian 5.70 and it works).

Neither of above method didn't work for me. But your worked!

Hence, thank you!
