[App_rpt-users] RPi Memory Usage

[Jeremy Utley]

By allowing unpartitioned space on an SD card, you allow the system to use that as "replacement" space when a segment of an SD card can no longer be used.  A similar process is used for SSD drives, and is termed "overprovisioning".  In my company's datacenter, we actually use some special hdparm commands to mark about 20% of an SSD's storage space as not being able to be partitioned - allowing for this space to be used in this manner.

Thanks Jeremy for the pointer. I'd also like to understand what it is about leaving some unpartitioned space that will help the longevity of an SD card.
It is my understanding the write cycles are a function of write cycles, not space... been wrong before, and willing to learn something new.

Thanks,
Bob

Sure it's possible.  Can't remember if it inclues the raspi-config tool, but if not, you can run fdisk, change the partition size to use the entire sd card, reboot, then run resize2fs.  However, this isn't always advised, as leaving some unpartitioned space will help the longevity of a SD card.

Is it possible to use the entire MicroSD memory space in the RPi load? It appears I'm only using about 6 GB of 32GB, and I'm not finding fs_resize.

Thanks,
Bob
