Emoncms SD Image - Full /dev/root partition [SOLVED]

Is there anyway to solve this /dev/root full partition?
I am not able to expand Pi to use my entire SD Card (8Gb) space from raspi-config. Thanx!

 

 

pi@emonpi ~ $ df -h

Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on

/dev/root       2.7G  2.5G     0 100% /

devtmpfs        214M     0  214M   0% /dev

You cannot use raspi-config as it is only capable of handling simple 2 partition setups, the 3rd partition causes it a problem.

You need to do it manually using fdisk, but first you need to move the 3rd partition to make room to enlarge the 2nd and to do that you will create a 4th, copy the 3rd to the 4th, and then delete the 3rd.

see the "RaspB+ and SD card Extend" thread for more info on how to do it.
