Extends the rootfs partition

At the first boot the rootfs size is limited to few megabytes. Check it by typing:

df
Filesystem     1K-blocks   Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root         848684 372712    415644  48% /
devtmpfs          124592      0    124592   0% /dev
tmpfs             125104      0    125104   0% /dev/shm
tmpfs             125104    176    124928   1% /run
tmpfs               5120      0      5120   0% /run/lock
tmpfs             125104      0    125104   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/mmcblk0p1     97446   4070     93376   5% /boot    

In this example I've used an 8GB microSD and the space used is 48%. Type this two commands to use all the microSD space available:

sudo growpart /dev/mmcblk0 2
sudo resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p2 

and check again:

df
Filesystem     1K-blocks   Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root        7531440 433020   6768232   7% /

tmpfs             125104      0    125104   0% /dev/shm
tmpfs             125104    176    124928   1% /run
