How can I make it resize?
(I checked some old forum topics, and I checked my /boot/config.txt The following lines look different than in those forums:

Code:

# see /etc/default/xbian-initramfs
#initramfs initramfs.gz  followkernel

You have to enable initramfs in Kodi's XBian-config gui, category System, remove swap partition manually (if exist, see above) and reboot.

With the fdisk command I checked the USB-stick that holds my OS:

Code:

@xbian ~ $ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda
[sudo] password for xbian:
Disk /dev/sda: 28.7 GiB, 30752000000 bytes, 60062500 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0xf01f2a15

Device     Boot  Start     End Sectors  Size Id Type
/dev/sda1  *      2048  206847  204800  100M  b W95 FAT32
/dev/sda2       206848 2609151 2402304  1.1G 83 Linux

It seems like this disk doesn't hold a swap partition.

Then I checked the Xbian GUI:
Xbian - System - (sub topic System) - 'Use of initramfs' = required

I put it on 'always' and rebooted. This doesn't do the trick.
