How to Expand SD Card

Thank you.

Initramfs needs to be enabled for automatic resize and swap creation. So, first please check if initramfs will be used:

1) a file initramfs.gz must be in /boot folder
2) initramfs line must not be hashed in /boot/config.txt

Terminal

cat /boot/config.txt
initramfs initramfs.gz 0x1500000
