Expand SD Image

Unread post by craigwatson »

So, I bought a full MiSTer setup and have been getting my fingers dirty learning things. The SD card that came was a 64GB card and after doing an "update_all" it has filled up. I figured I'd make an image backup and place everything on a 128GB card

I have moved the image over and it boots but it still only shows as a 64GB card that is full in MiSTer and within the Mac Finder. When I go to Disk Utility it has the "partition" option greyed out so can't seem to expand the SD to utilize the full 128GB. I have tried to resize the image to 128GB and write it but the same thing happens.

Any suggestions on how to utilize the full SD Card size?

I might be wrong but as far as i'm aware there's no way of currently doing this. I ended up formatting a new larger SDCard with the MiSTer basic set up, then copying across from my old smaller SDCard the game roms and settings etc.
