resizfs

The LXDE image I tried first gave instructions on how to resize the FS to use the full SD card. The first login I did for Armbian said something I had to reboot after resizing but didn't give instructions how. What is the command to do that? Is it as simple as a one line command that the LXDE image had?

Armbian does auto resize - for old kernels (3.4.x) reboot is needed while on recent ones, it goes on the fly. Just check partition size after reboot.

LXDE is 2years older, has security holes and was never updated. Beter stick to Armbian - everything works much better.

Thanks, I did notice that the file manager said there was 12Gb free which is about right for a 16GB card.

Is there any way to resizefs for shrink partition? Tried with -M parameter but there is message unable to shrink on running system.
