Expanding root file system over ssh R pi

by **kyle1** » Mon Dec 02, 2013 5:11 am

I've been trying to expand the root file system after install with Win32diskimager for about 2 day now because ive only got 2GB
of space available on my 8GB sd card. So far all i'I've been able to come up with is http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewt ... 51&t=45265 and that worked for pidora but it doesn't work so i was wondering if anyone has anyway to do this over ssh or does anyone know of another guide.

"doesn't seem to" ?

Sorry i wasn't specific enough so after ive expanded the partition i have to reboot and after i reboot i can ssh to the pi but there is no prompt for login i guess the fact that i can still ssh to it is fairly important information sorry.

So, the guide works to the point of reboot, but you get no login prompt after rebooting.

yes and it warns me when i try to disconnect from ssh too. also if there a program for windows that might expand the partition that might work ?
