I have followed the install on PI+HDD tutorial: http://emoncms.org/site/docs/raspberrypihdd
But now, I would like to get access to the 200GB HDD and not only few GB as it is now. As I don't want to destroy everything I would like to know how to expand my partition
Here is what I have if I do:
$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
rootfs 2.7G 2.7G 0 100% /
/dev/root 2.7G 2.7G 0 100% /

tmpfs 44M 372K 44M 1% /run
tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
tmpfs 88M 0 88M 0% /run/shm
$ cat /etc/fstab
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p1 /boot vfat defaults 0 2
/dev/sda2 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1
$ mount
/dev/root on / type ext4 (rw,noatime,data=ordered)
devtmpfs on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,relatime,size=216108k,nr_inodes=54027,mode=755)
tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,size=44876k,mode=755)
tmpfs on /run/lock type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,size=5120k)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
tmpfs on /run/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,size=89740k)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620)
Re: Expand the HDD partition
About the 200GB USB HDD
$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda2
Disk /dev/sda2: 2899 MB, 2899312640 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 352 cylinders, total 5662720 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
Disk /dev/sda2 doesn't contain a valid partition table

Re: Expand the HDD partition
Thanks Bra1n! Worked like a charm!
Re: Expand the HDD partition
Your very welcome, glad this Linux noob could be of help.
Now I just need to see if I can keep my PI + HDD system running for more than 6 days in a row (my current record !)
Re: Expand the HDD partition
And another thanks. Wondered why I couldn't login.
Found the partition full and after searching online remembered there was a link on here.
Worked perfectly
