RPI2 Kali Sana how to resize filesystem?

[Naprosnia]

Hi everyone.

How can i resize my filesystem?
I try gparted but it gives an error when i try to resize filesystem partition with unallocated partition.
I also try the script that i used to resize the kali 1.1.1 " https://linhost.info/2015/05/expand-...-raspberry-pi/ "
but it gives an error and when i reboot nothing new happens.

How to resize?

[Naprosnia]

I figured out how to resize, with this steps:

wget http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/pool/main/r/raspi-config/raspi-config_20150706_all.deb
wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/lua5.1/lua5.1_5.1.5-7.1_armhf.deb
wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/t/triggerhappy/triggerhappy_0.3.4-2_armhf.deb
dpkg -i triggerhappy_0.3.4-2_armhf.deb
dpkg -i lua5.1_5.1.5-7.1_armhf.deb
dpkg -i raspi-config_20150706_all.deb
raspi-config

when you do raspi-config you see an option to resize filesystem, reboot and done.

Or, just run the rpi-wiggle.sh script that we install. I'll add this to my notes for the updated documentation.

I couldn't find that script anywhere on the raspberry pi 2 filesystem. I did download it from elsewhere and it failed when I tried to run it. (Sorry, I don't have the error handy)

I also downloaded it (from https://raw.github.com/dweeber/rpiwi...ter/rpi-wiggle) and it appeared to run properly, but after reboot nothing had changed.

I also downloaded it (from https://raw.github.com/dweeber/rpiwi...ter/rpi-wiggle) and it appeared to run properly, but after reboot nothing had changed.

Same thing here (Kali 2.0.1). Seems to run fine, but no difference.

[altj]

Try running it again, but look closely at the messages it displays before rebooting. I seem to recall a message in there that wasn't highlighted but indicated a problem.

[eperea]

I ran it again and saw this error message:

Select (default p): Partition number (2-4, default 2): First sector (125001-62333951, default 126976): Value out of range.

Session log available at http://hermes.walkereng.com/kali.log in case it might be helpful.

[steev]

Interesting - I'd try running with it echoing more output - since it says value out of range, it would be nice to know what value it is trying to pass in. That said, it's just a script that someone suggested we add, so it may be best to file a bug for dweeber's github repo - although it hasn't been touched since 2012, so I'm not even sure it's active anymore. Perhaps look at what he does and then look at what the raspi-config script does that is different?

Or, follow the steps from Naprosnia - I just realized that this is for the rpi2, so installing the armhf won't hurt - although, rather than download the files from debian's repo, I'd suggest running apt-get install lua5.1 triggerhappy instead.

Getting same error here:
Select (default p): Partition number (2-4, default 2): First sector (125001-124735487, default 126976): Value out of range.

[Naprosnia]

Follow my steps, they worked for me.

[Neto]

Naprosnia,
I followed your steps. But didn't work here.

[Tommy1234]

Follow my steps, they worked for me.

I try rpi-wiggle.sh and raspi-expand-rootfs.sh(https://linhost.info/2015/05/expand-...-raspberry-pi/), both give me same error message.

Out put like this:

root@kali:~# cd /boot
root@kali:/boot# ls
raspi-expand-rootfs.sh
root@kali:/boot# sh raspi-expand-rootfs.sh

Do you really want to quit? Root partition has been resized. The filesystem will be enlarged upon the next reboot


=============================

any thing wrong? or I need re-config the script?

Thanks

[steev]

I'm curious about the second script that you linked - it looks like it's running "parted /dev/mmcblk0 -ms unit s p | grep "^2" | cut -f 2 -d:" as a command and storing that to the variable PART_START for where to start the second partition at - what's the output of running that command manually on the rpi2?

[buxbud]

I tried various utilities with no success. So I did it manually. It's not hard to do manually.

sudo fdisk /dev/mmcblk0

Step 1: Delete the second partition
Type 'd' Hit Enter
Again just hit Enter to select default value which is '2'

Step 2: Re-create second partition
Follow the sequence of inputs
Type 'n' Hit Enter
Type 'p' Hit Enter
Type '2' Hit Enter
Type '125001' Hit Enter
Again just hit enter to select default value

Step 3: Write and exit
Type 'w' Hit Enter

Reboot the system:
sudo reboot

Then final step:
sudo resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p2

To verify the resize
df -h

I actually looked into this script some - it would appear that the parted command that is being run is throwing a WARNING before it outputs the size, so possibly, all that would be needed would be to grep out the WARN line in the parted command (something like adding "| grep -v WARN" to line 46 (sudo parted /dev/mmc.... ))
