[arm-allstar] Filesystem Sizing Issue

[Steve Garrison]

Just joined the list and would like to know if there is a way to NOT expand
the file system to take up the entire SD card when using a RasPi.

 

The suggestion I find to "backup" your installation by creating an image of
your installation runs into big problems if you have expanded the file
system to use the entire card, then you make the image backup and then try
to write that image to a card of the exact same size and are told you don't
have enough room.

 

I'm using Win32DiskImager to image and back up my SD cards, but unless I can
limit the file system to say 8GB on a 16GB card, I won't be able to make
that image backup and then write that backed up image to another 16GB card.

 

Same goes for using larger size cards, even when there isn't a real need to
use a larger card.  It just seems the better cards these days seem to come
in the larger sizes
