Upgrading SD Card Memory Issues

Edit: missed the part about the Pi. You can use gparted or GNU parted if through command line to do it on the Pi.

I’ve used Gparted before, so perhaps I shall invest in a USB card reader. Will adjusting the partition fix the boot loop?


Update: The problem with Gparted is that the kobo partition is in fat32, which can’t be resized. Formatting the volume to exfat didn’t fix things either. Once unmounted, the only thing I can do is move the partition, but I am not allowed to resize it.

I suppose I can reformat the entire disk to wipe the partition table and use dd to clone the Linux partitions onto the 128GB SD card, then rsync the backup card to the third partition?

Is it really supposed to be this complicated?
