Resize an SD Card

This (complexity of partition schemes required for SBCs) is becoming more of an issue. The Pandaboard requires a wintel-compatible boot partition for uboot first than a linux-compatible partition for rootfs. I just got a board going that requires five partitions to get running, one hidden!

Shaun when you expand the filesystem like this you will be able to extend the last partition on the card as you wont be able to expand the earlier ones past the preexisting partitions, if your large data or root partition is the last one then that's great.

Any way I would suggest that any one who is intending to do this use Parted or Gparted to make life easier

A quick note for all the Raspberry Pi users out there... You can achieve the same result using raspi-config.
