Expand file system Kali Linux on SD card of 16GB

Question

I want to expand my filesystem, so I tried to follow this tutorial to expand it, but it did not work.

I had to fix it. To expand the file system of my SD-card of 16 Gb, I had to install gparted and move the partition to the entire size of my SD.

A quicker solution:

Run apt-get install gparted
GUI pops up
Select ext4 + right click + "resize/move"
Get all available space + "resize"
"Apply All Operations"

You can do this on GParted with another computer. Open GParted, go to your SD card, unmount it, right click, and press resize/something.

Here is the solution: Installing Kali Pi using all available storage space?

If you try download the raspi-config, please use the newest version raspi-config_20160322_all.deb

@Edit: I found working script for Kali:

wget -O /boot/raspi-expand-rootfs.sh http://dl.linhost.info/file1/raspi-expand-rootfs.sh
chmod +x /boot/raspi-expand-rootfs.sh
sh /boot/raspi-expand-rootfs.sh
