SD Card size?

[rpinoob]

I’m using a 16GB sd card (Kingston) but when I use win32diskimager and mount the rpi img, my sd card shrinks to 56mb. Then when I’m doing the updates sometimes it will say something along the lines of “not enough room on device”.

How do I enable my full 16GB?

To ensure I mounted it correctly, I reformatted it and started over.

After formatting, it was correctly at the 16gb again.
After mounting, back down to 56mb.

I’m going through the commands now:

sudo apt-get update = all good
sudo apt-get upgrade -y git = issues

it says things like…
/usr/bin/mandb: can’t write to /var/cache/man/2917: No space left on device
/usr/bin/mandb: can’t write to /var/cache/man/3025: No space left on device
/usr/bin/mandb: can’t write to /var/cache/man/3251: No space left on device

sudo apt-get install -y git dialog = ??
” the following packages have been kept back: pypy-upstream

cd
git clone --depth=0 git://github.com/petrockblog/RetroPie-Setup.git

= issues
“fatal: could not create work tree dir ‘retropie-setup’.: No space left on device”

How can I continue??

It sounds like you just need to expand the usable space on the SD card. After you mount the image type:

sudo raspi-config

From this menu select “expand_rootfs” (I think that’s what it says, working from memory). Then reboot and you should be all set.

^ what he said

Turn on the pi

Let emulation station do its booting

Go to menu then select exit

It will shutdown emulation station and take you to the console

At the console type

sudo raspi-config

It will open the config app and you'll select

Arrow to "expand file system"
Press TAB to get to yes/no options at the bottom

Save, reboot, done.

I’m having the same issue expanding my file system to 64gb capacity. I’ve done this within the raspi-config, but when it reboots, it’s still at 56mb.
