Expanding the Root Partition

[martuscellifaria]

Hi all!

I followed the link for flashing Debian Bullseye on the Sige7 from my main Ubuntu machine.

https://forum.armsom.org/t/upgrading-sige7-image-in-linux/237

However, I noticed that the rootfs partition of the EMMC is too small (under 15 GB), and gets full very fast.

There is another partition called userdata, which has over 80 GB, but I cannot use it, or reallocate it to the rootfs using gparted, because the partitions must be unmounted, and the root partition cannot be unmounted at runtime.
Is there another way or workaround?

I strangely cannot boot from an USB Stick or SD Card.

I am a Linux user and have no Windows at home. Can someone help me?

Thanks,

Alex

Closing because of course over a year later I am better on it. 😂
