Resizing LibreELEC MicroSD Card.

So, when I upgraded to 8.0.0, I backed up my old LibreELEC 7 MicroSD card (using dd) and restored (again using dd) to a newer, faster card. I then performed the upgrade on the newer card. The problem is, the old card was 8GB and the new one 16GB. How do I resize the partition to include the new space? I've tried the method listed here: thread-650-post-4884.html#pid4884

But that appears to have done nothing. Has this changed in LE8?

If you're on Linux you can use gparted (parted) to expand the filesystem.

I'm not on Linux. I'm on MacOS.

Doesn't Disk Utility do the same thing?

Not EXT4 (or EXT2 or EXT3).

I guess you don't have an RPi? It would make life easier

I assume your backup is still valid!

Ok, how about FTP and copy everything from /storage to your OSX.
Remove everything from /storage/* & /storage/.*
Make sure /storage is completely empty.
touch /storage/.kodi/.please_resize_me
Reboot.
If all goes well it should resize.
Copy back everything from your ftp backup.

If that fails post the output of dmesg | paste

I actually have 3 RPis and don't know why I didn't think of that. Still, good to have another method if things go south.

You could have also used the built-in Backup & Restore tool in the LibreELEC Settings addon.
Then simply install a fresh copy of LE, and restore the backup. That would have made much less mess with resizing.

Of course I could've done that, but I assumed that upgrading 7->8 would at least check for unused space and/or do something about it. Plus, it was a relatively fresh install of 7 (only a week in use) and cruft levels would be at such a level that a wipe and restore wasn't really necessary.
