Platform information: Hardware: Raspberry Pi 3 OS: OpenHABian V1.4 (Raspbian Stretch) openHAB version: 2.2 Issue of the topic: Copied disk image from 8 Gb Sd card to 16 Gb SD card. How do you extend the root partition to take advantage of the extra space on the larger SD card? This is easy to d…

[image] 123: Any suggestions on how I can expand the partition to take full advantage of the 16 Gb SD card? Mount it ? Set links ? openHABian does not provide neither raspi-config nor any extension option simply because there is no need for this. Feel free to install vanilla Raspbian plus o…

Correct me if I’m wrong but the openHAB installation process does perform a partition extension but does not expose this operation as a discrete menu option (whereas raspi-config does). Normally this is fine because, after the initial installation (and partition extension), there’s no further need …

[image] 123: Correct me if I’m wrong but the openHAB installation process does perform a partition extension but does not expose this operation as a discrete menu option (whereas raspi-config does). Strictly speaking no, neither openHAB nor openHABian do. The underlying Raspbian does. Either…

[image] 123: This is easy to do with raspi-config but that’s unavailable in openHABian. If you are on a RPi, then go ahead and sudo apt-get install raspi-config and use that. The big point is that openHABian IS Raspbian so you can install and use raspi-config to do those things there isn’t a…

You’'ll note I said the “openHAB installation process” not “openHAB” nor “openHABian”. Somewhere buried inside that installation script are the OS commands to extend the partition. I never asked for the partition-extension feature to be ‘exposed’ in openhabian-config only mentioned it wasn’t availa…

Thank you, Rich! I know openHABian V1.4 is based on Raspbian Stretch yet it never dawned on me to just install the raspi-config package. Doh! That would’ve saved me some time for sure! Oh well, it was an interesting little diversion nonetheless.

I know this is pretty old, but did you succeed? I have changed my partition (2) using parted from 8GB to 32GB and it looks ok: Number Start End Size Type File system Flags [19:08:52] openhabian@homer:~$ sudo parted -l Model: TS32GMSA 370 (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 32.0GB Sector size (log…

/Of course, it doesn’t help matters that Linux has 10M ways to accomplish the same task, some that work on some distros, but not others and vice versa. I also find that many people in forums assume that you know as much as they do and/or are just so arrogant that they just will not provide a noob w…

Just have to put my two cents in. I setup openhab on an 32G SD card using the openhabian image. Configured everything and decided for reliability I would install an SSD. The smallest I could find was 120Gig. Even though someone stated that openhabian runs fine on an 8Gig filesystem when checking my…

Then run openHAB on Windows. Problem solved, right?
