Resize file system on SD card

Hi,

The real reason is fdisk partitons are no cylinder boundary that fdisk calculates. You'll delete the 2nd partition and read it such as:

root@orangepi:~# fdisk /dev/mmcblk0

Command (m for help): p

Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 15.8 GB, 15804137472 bytes
4 heads, 16 sectors/track, 482304 cylinders, total 30867456 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
Disk identifier: 0x34605ba5

        Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/mmcblk0p1           40960      124927       41984   83  Linux
/dev/mmcblk0p2          124928     7170047     3522560   83  Linux

Command (m for help): d
Partition number (1-4): 2

Command (m for help): n
Partition type:
   p   primary (1 primary, 0 extended, 3 free)
   e   extended
Select (default p): p
Partition number (1-4, default 2): 2
First sector (2048-30867455, default 2048): 124928
Last sector, +sectors or +size{K,M,G} (124928-30867455, default 30867455):
Using default value 30867455

Command (m for help): w

Theen quit (command q), reboot. You will then be able to use resize:

resizefs /dev/root

would do. I agree that OrangePi Raspbian is far from being stable. It is sure that it was arranged from bananapi even taking a look at the .bash_history file shows that what were they doing to adapt the banana raspbian and even creating the orangepi account This being said if you have time there are lots of information online how to overcome these difficulties.
