Re: Resizing the partition for Quadra image.

Herbert A. Davis All Messages By This Member #22 开云体育 Hi Andrew, ? ???????????? I am not sure if there is a size limitation for the SD card.? I have tested up to 265 GB SD card and it worked fine.? I have tested 128, 64 ?(which I prefer to use) and 32 GB SD Cards. The method I used to expand the partition is rather lengthy and detailed.? Not really something I would care to email back and forward about.? What I can do is create a document and email it to you (and others that may want to try it).? If you give me a day or so to put it together with pictures for simplicity, I will gladly share it.? ??I am trying to be careful not to stray to far away from Dave’s actual intent with this project, but I don’t mind sharing some of the cool stuff I have already discovered and done with this NEW device.? ??On a side note, I was able to accidently brick one of the two SBC’s I received.? Please use extreme caution when plugging in and unplugging the device.? As you know this device has no on off switch.? But I have found a solution that works well.? It’s a cool little power switch that plugs in between the device and the power source.? Connectors fit perfectly and I no longer worry about my brute strength breaking another connection.? ??Not sure what the guidelines are here for sharing third party vendors, but the part below is what I found.? And yes it was Amaon that I ordered it from. ? ? ? 73 to all, ?

No problem, all of this is new to me and waiting on the device and plan on using a 128GB microSD card. ?You original post gave me a concern over if I am using too large of card and what size would be optimal. So imaging a file sets a partition size based on the image needs and considerably less than the available amount (assuming card size is larger than needed). ? As you your statement, I am not clear on the partitioning tool used. ?Can you provide some clarification? ? Thanks, ? Andrew KT4ZT On Nov 9, 2022, at 5:23 PM, Herbert A.

But I do have an update on the subject and was just getting ready to post my solution.? While in the Quadra-4-HamRadio OS install G Parted.? this partitioning tool (for Linux) will allow you to resize the imaged partition without destroying the image. ????? Thank you for your response.? Greatly appreciated. 73, Herbert K7HAD ?

Oh, and booting the image without resizing the partition works wonderfully.? I just hate having 45 GB on a drive just sitting there doing nothing. ? 73,? ? Herbert K7HAD ? ?
