Quirky Beaver did not extend usb partition to full space

#1 Post by RedDwarf »

I downloaded Quirky Beaver 8.7.1 img.gz yesterday and wrote it to my 32GB USB 3.0 flash drive. The install instructions say that on the first boot it will offer to extend the usb partition to fill any free space. I had some booting problems which meant I had to boot multiple times until I could successfully get to the desktop. I suspect that this meant that I missed the offer to extend the partition which means it is stuck at using less than 7GB of space with 22.02GB unallocated.

I did attempt to resize the partition manually using partitioning software when Beaver was not running but it would not resize it.

Is there any way of using all the unused space on my flash drive? What are the options?

Using GParted Partition Manager.

Will get better help posting in the topic for Quirky.

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

I am running bionicpup64-7.9.7. There is a script

fix-usb.sh

quote:

# This small script will fix the "missing space" caused by dd-ing fatdog isohybrid to a flash drive
# making the rest of the space available again for use.
# Only run this after dd-ing fatdog iso and not after anything else.

Maybe Quirky has this script or something similar?
