How to use the rest of my SDcard space?

[imonsei]

Hi
I purchased a ratrig vcore3 with the duet 3 board a while ago.
It came with a nice 16gb SDcard, but it's only formattted to use little of that space, which leaves under 200MB for gcodes.
Now I have received a job requiring a gcode file over 300MB
Is there a way for me to make a new partition of the unused space, and have the Duet mount it to use as the gcodes folder?
It corrently has the "boot" partition, and then an unreadable partition (from the viewpoint of reading the SDcard on windows10), and about .. 15 gigs of unused space.
Or is there a smarter way about doing this?

My firmware is - Firmware: RepRapFirmware for Duet 3 MB6HC 3.3 (2021-06-15)
I have only been using the web interface to access the printer so far.

@imonsei Connect to the PI with PuTTY and log in
Run sudo raspi-config
Select Adavnced Options, then Expand File system

That should fix it.

@stephen6309 I shall give it a try. thanks in advance.

@stephen6309 Uh. I'm getting a "connection refused" error. when i SSH to the IP of the duet board.
is that a setting i have to enable in a file on the SD-card?

[Stephen6309]

@imonsei All i know, is to put a blank text file called "ssh" in the boot directory. Don't know if it'll work on an already running Linux.

Don't forget to backup the macros and sys directory with DWC before making the new boot sd.

@stephen6309 Dang it. I hoped it wouldn't be a big overhaul. Thanks for taking time out of your day to help me.

@imonsei Can we just check, are you using a raspberry Pi with this Duet board? Is the SD card you are talking about just plugged into the Duet board? It looks like @Stephen6309 thinks you have a rPi but I'm not sure if that is the case.

[imonsei]

@gloomyandy I am using the duet 3 board with a sd card plugged directly into the board. there is no raspberry pi machine connected to it.
Sorry if I haven't been clear on that.

@imonsei I forgot to ask that. Put the sd card in a card reader on the pc. Save the filament, gcodes, firmware, macros, sys, www directories to the pc, or use DWC to save them. Reformat the sd card with something like SDFormater, with the format size adjustment ON.

@stephen6309 oh. I was nervous about the partition I couldn't read containing important files. Performing the reformat as we are speaking.

@stephen6309 That worked a treat. Thank you both for your help you are real human beans.
