Hi all. I have LibreElec on a 32GB card, which of course wastes the vast majority of it. Is there a way to repartition it or otherwise make all of the space available to LibreElec?
Thanks!
Is there a way to use all the space on the bootable media?

On first boot the 32K (K, not MB) /storage partition on the SD card is automatically expanded to fill 100% of the available space. So I guess you didn't boot the SD card yet and are looking at the 512MB boot partition.

Thanks! I've booted it several times. The LibreElec partition shows up (in Mac Disk Utility) as 537 MB FAT16, with 153 used. The rest of the disk shows up as a device... ah it's probably just a filesystem unknown to Mac OS.

macOS does not support EXT4 partitions so it can see "disk20s2" (the /storage partition) but cannot mount it or display anything meaningful. Windows is equally stupid.

There are solutions to add EXT2/3/4 support using FUSE drivers, but those are slow, so the alternative (unless you're conofident with macOS CLI partitioning commands) is to boot a Linux VM and use GParted to shrink the /storage partition to 6-8GB for Kodi data, and then create a third "Media" partition that can be exFAT and cross-platform.

Have a look at Paragon ExtFS
