Using a 128GB image on a 256GB microSD card

Using Mr.Harias 128GB SuperDisplay

Hi. I'm new to the site and looking for a solution for this issue. The img is perfect for me and I really am enjoying it. I originally put it on a 128GB card and then realized it didn't have any apple II titles. I then put the img on a 256Gb card which worked but it tells me I only have 3.8GB of available space. Is there a way to increase the size of the img so I can utilize all the space on the card? I've done this on windows partitions but never on this.

Appreciate any advice on this. Thank you.

Fair enough, although my question was entirely unrelated to the image and more about img size management.

In the or config menu, run raspi-config. then select advanced options, and hit A1 Expand FIlesystem. You should be able to reboot and have your entire storage capacity available.

note: I know you said sdcard, but for the reference of others, this only works for sdcard, not USB

Perfect! Thank you. Exactly what I was looking for.
