Expand filesystem to a certain size rather than fill SD card completely

Do you know what might be taking up additional space on your image for example song files on SDCard?

Expanding to full capacity of SDCard won't impact performance. I agree that the downside of this is that backup of SDCard will be a file the size of the entire SDCard and backup/restore will take a really long time.

I'll look into command that can expand to a specific size.





I'm not quite sure what might be taking up the space. I'm assuming it might be album thumbnails or database files as I haven't copied any other files to the SD card. I've tried compacting/clearing log files, playback history and database files but hasn't helped.

Here's what my image looks like:

Code:
pi@moode:~ $ df -h
Filesystem           Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/root            3.4G  2.9G  370M  89% /
devtmpfs             1.9G     0  1.9G   0% /dev
tmpfs                1.9G     0  1.9G   0% /dev/shm
tmpfs                1.9G  9.4M  1.9G   1% /run
tmpfs                5.0M  4.0K  5.0M   1% /run/lock
tmpfs                1.9G     0  1.9G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/mmcblk0p1       253M   55M  198M  22% /boot
tmpfs                383M     0  383M   0% /run/user/1000

My root partition size is 3.4GB compared to the stock 3.9 GB. This difference would be enough to perform the in-place update! Not sure why my root partition is slightly smaller (and why my tmpfs partitions are so large in comparison to the stock image) given that I used the ready to use ISO image when I did the major upgrade to 7.0.0.
