Expand Drive size with Tinycore Linux

shell.sh

# Create drive to VM
qemu-img create -f qcow2 test.qcow2 3G

# Download Live-CD
wget http://tinycorelinux.net/6.x/x86/release/Core-6.4.1.iso

# Start the VM with Live-CD and drive
qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom Core-6.4.1.iso -m 512 -hda test.qcow2 --boot d
# If you don't have qemu-system-x86_64 use qemu-system

# Frugal Install
tce-load -wi tc-install
sudo tc-install.sh
c -> f -> 1 -> 2 (sda) - > y -> 3 (ext4) -> enter -> y -> enter

# Shutdown to restart without the disc
exitcheck.sh

# Run without Live-CD
qemu-system-x86_64 -m 512 -hda test.qcow2

# Currently system has 3 GB available
df

# shutdown to expand drive (.qcow2 file)
exitcheck.sh

# Increase drive size
qemu-img resize test.qcow2 +5G

# If you start is now `df` output will look the same

# Run with Live-CD to umount and expand available drive
qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom Core-6.4.1.iso -m 512 -hda test.qcow2 --boot d

# Enter the following boot codes
mc base norestore

# Expand the partition
sudo fdisk /dev/sda

p -> d -> n -> p -> 1 -> enter -> enter -> a -> 1 -> w

# p shows partition table
# d deletes a partition (it automatically deletes the only one)
# n creates a new partition (then p for primary)
# Then enter twice for the start to the end
# a to set the bootable flag
# 1 to specify the first partition should be bootable
# w to save and exit

# Expand the file system
tce-load -wi e2fsprogs.tcz

# shutdown
