I recently just bought everything I need in order to have an ADS-B receiver. For my SD Card, I have a 64 GB and am only using about 20% of its space for the piaware data to be used. However, I have gotten a message that says my SD card’s ‘/’ partition is at 100% of capacity. Is there something that I need to do to fix this? Do I need a bigger SD card? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi @bengle and welcome!
As I take it you’ve got a Raspberry or similar (OrangePi, for example), and you may well have flashed the OS image on the SD card.
You may need to run raspi-config (sudo raspi-config) or sudo armbian-config if running Armbian and select “resize filesystem”.

Did you expand the file system via the command sudo raspi-config ? In that menu is the option to expand the file system. The boot partition is normally limited. Via the expansion you are goingto use the whole cards capacity

In Raspbian, type sudo raspi-config, Advanced options, Expand filesystem. Go back to exit, you’ll be prompted to reboot. Reboot. The filesystem should be resized during next boot.
Thanks for the response FeverBeaver. I might be a little too old and not so tech savvy as I once was. So I will need to do this on the SD card on the Raspberry Pi? Or both while the SD card is in the Raspberry Pi? I have yet to hook up the Raspberry Pi to a monitor or keyboard yet. Is that needed then as well?

You have to do it on the Raspberry, while it is running, with the card in. You need to type the command on the prompt.
You may have to hook it to a keyboard & monitor, or use a SSH connection (see For Beginners - How-to SSH to RPi - Setup Putty in Windows), use whatever fits you best.

Ok. I am unable to get to the prompt screen. With the SD card inserted, it wants me to choose and Operations System and write it on to the storage option, which the only storage option is the SD card. Is that what I should do? Would it be just easier to delete everything on the SD card and start over?
Thanks and sorry for making this so difficult.

Not at all. It’s always difficult the first time!
First you need to enable SSH (do this with the SD card in your PC)
Second, with the SD card in the Pi, log in with SSH over the network (no keyboard, monitor or mouse required on the Pi)

I will give that a shot then. Thank you!

Do I download the PuTTY within the Pi computer or the one where I created the SSH.txt on my SD card? I really feel like I am missing something simple here. This is the only screen I have when I insert the SD card back into the Pi.Thanks again.

Config change on sd.
Put back into pi
| Computer + putty → | /network/ | → pi + sd card/console enabled
= command access to pi
There is a how to guide with pictures if you search putty here.
Do NOT download PuTTY on RPi.
Download it on PC or Laptop.
