[solved] Enlarge a exfat partition

[Gladdle]

I've cloned a SD Card to a bigger one. The last partition is an exfat and after that there is "nothing" but a lot of free space. I DON'T have mounted any partitions on the SD card: I've tried KDE partitionmanager and gparted, with both tools i only can move the partition, but not expand it to the free space. Here are a few informations about my system:

Code: Select all

emerge --search exfat

I also read the Gentoo wiki page at https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/ExFAT and set it in the kernel:

Code: Select all

File systems  --->
   DOS/FAT/EXFAT/NT Filesystems  --->
      <*> exFAT filesystem support

Did i something wrong or shall i delete the partition and create a big one and restore the backup files?

Both sets of tools has exFAT resize code pending or requested and does not exist yet.
https://github.com/exfatprogs/exfatprogs/issues/134
https://github.com/relan/exfat/pull/145

Not possible to resize at this time

Thanks a lot, i couldn't find this information. I "backup" the files and create a new partition.
