Resize a pendrive Linux?
- by user11239
I'm running Ubuntu from USB media, which has a drive capacity of 250 GB, all existing as one FAT32 partition.
However, when I created the bootable Ubuntu drive, only 4.79 GB were allocated for usage.
Rather than put files directly into the /cdrom where the drive is mounted, I want to expand what is listed here in aufs to be at least 200 GB. I'm hopeful that I can do this live.
Output of df :
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
aufs 4051904 4050108 0 100% /
none 1542852 284 1542568 1% /dev
/dev/sdb1 244076800 4901648 239175152 3% /cdrom

none 1547840 0 1547840 0% /var/lock
none 1547840 0 1547840 0% /lib/init/rw
Output of fdisk -l :
Disk /dev/sdb: 250.1 GB, 250059350016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

/dev/sdb1 * 1 30401 244196001 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
So basically what I want to do is get /dev/sdb1 to be entirely, or almost entirely read as aufs.
I'm confused over how to do this, as the file systems are all part of /dev/sdb1 on one big partition, rather than separate partitions for separate file systems.
