EDIT: I can't correct the title, but I should have written "Newer Mini." Last time I used "new Mini" some people thought that meant a new Mini had been released.

I was reading in another thread (comparing the older Minis with the newer ones) and saw that you could repartition the newer Minis to use all 4 GBs instead of only 2 GBs. But when I use Gparted, I only see 1.3 GBs and it shows the full SD Card is allocated. Am I missing something or did this change with a later firmware release?

I've attached a screenshot of my Gparted and fdisk information. I don't see any unallocated space to resize to.

Thanks for any pointers. This is not that urgent, I just thought it would be nice to have that extra space (even though I'll probably never use it).
