Just because I'm unblocked from installing more software and continuing development now, doesn't mean I can't learn!

This just raises a further question - why does the d command in fdisk (as demonstrated, among other places, here and here) not free up disk space for the soon-to-be-created partition? (I infer from fdisk's output that changes are just being staged, and are not actually enacted until w is entered)ĮDIT2: I tried writing the image to an actual (64G) SD card and booting in a physical Raspberry Pi. This happens event for +1G (which is smaller than the previously-existing partition) - indeed, it even happens if I try to create a partition of size +3M, which is what the default successfully does! ( +2M, however, succeeds)ĮDIT: prompted by comment, I tried creating a new (3rd) partition without first deleting the existing partition - this, likewise, defaulted to 3MiB size, and did not allow the ~900Mb size that I would have expected (3.1G - (256M + 1.9G) ~= 900M). If I quit fdisk, and retry, trying to explicitly set a larger size (such as +2G) for the "Last sector" value, I get Value out of range. Note that, following the defaults, the newly-created partition is only 3 MiB, which is smaller than the 1.9G previous partition.

I think that this is because I also need to extend the partitions on the disk.

However, the actual available disk space remains the same - that is, df still reports the same %ge of disk usage, and I still get "out of space" errors when trying to install software. However, once I started installing software, I swiftly ran out of space.īy using qemu-img resize (as prompted by here and here), I am able to resize the image such that sudo fdisk -l's output changes from reporting, say, Disk /dev/sda: 2.1 GiB to Disk /dev/sda: 3.1 GiB.

The Image boots perfectly well, and I can interact with it either via the popped-up terminal or by ssh-ing to the hosted device. I followed this guide to emulate a Raspbian image on my Mac - the only change I made was to use a Buster Lite image.
