Retropie not expanding filesystem at all!

Renholder

I'm so close at starting to pull my hair from my head over this.
I have this SDcard (which im starting to believe is the reason cause it was a cheap one(I'm looking at you Biltema)) formatted in FAT32 and I use Win32Disk to write retropie on.
But every time I try to expand or resize, doesn't matter if I do it in command and run "sudo raspi-config", there is a flash of text* and I get device or resource busy.
And everytime I try to run a psp game, for example, I get the message: "No space left on device", because it hasn't been resized or whatever.

So fellow Retros, what the heck should I do?

RetroPie should auto expand the filesystem after the first boot - it will automatically reboot.

Does it boot ok the first time for you?

I presume you are using the 3.8.1 image file from this site?

Renholder

It boots as it should, at least it did before this last time where the command line just came.
The thing is it only uses like 5,5Mb or something, but I have 7gig on it.
If you see the link, you see that the second partition is called Linux, and its like Retropie cant overwrite that part.

Yes, I use 3.8.1.

So it boots, and comes up with the message saying it will auto restart to resize the SD card partition?

@Renholder just as a note the 58mb is only the boot folder which windows sees. Windows cant see the linux partition.

I can't see any problem in the screenshot. The error message can be ignored. It has recreated the second partition at full size by the looks of things.

what is the output of

sudo blockdev --getsize64 /dev/mmcblk0
sudo parted /dev/mmcblk0 unit b print
df -h
