Topic: Error resizing partition on SD card
Hi all!
After cloning a 4Gb microsd card to a new 16Gb one, I'm trying to resize and move 2 partitions (Fat32 and ext4) but GParted can't complete the process. I'm using a LiveUSB. This is what details file says:
GParted 0.16.1
Libparted 2.3

GNU Parted cannot resize this partition to this size. We're working on it!========================================
Grow /dev/sdb1 from 3.54 GiB to 14.22 GiB========================================
Thanks in advance!
