Hi Folks,
how do i resize the /boot partition. When the image is written to the drive by balena etcher the boot partition is tiny. it makes it very difficult to update firmware from raspberry.
I’m not a linux expert but any help would be appreciated.
have you tried gparted or any other partition manager?
i’m very new to umbrel so i would know how to do it. I know you can add external community stores but i cannot find Gparted. Any ideas would be great.
gparted is an OS Level Command and it is something that comes OOB with UmbrelOS. You would need to install and run it yourself from the Terminal Window or by ssh into your UmbreOS directly!
Now, with that said … gparted is a Graphical Tool and CAN NOT be run from this way. You would have to use X11Forwarding. Ugh!
fdisk would be easier to do but would have to also be installed but you can Google: “How to install and use fdisk to resize /boot”
Be sure to have a good backup or be prepared to image again, if needed.
Take the disk from the RPi, use a USB connector to connect it to your PC, then use a partition manager of your preference (it MUST support EXT4) and extend your partition, there should be several step-by-step guides if you search for it, even on youtube.
It makes no sense using a command line partition manager as RodB suggested, use something graphical so you can understand better, unless for some reason you cannot physically access your hard drive.
Thanks Rob.
