resize an raspi sd card image

losetup -f –show my.img
-> we have now mounted image as loop0

partprobe /dev/loop0
-> we have now the partitions which is required for gparted

gparted /dev/loop0
-> resize as usual now and apply

losetup -d /dev/loop0
-> loop not needed anymore

fdisk -l my.img
->
Platte my.img: 8068 MByte, 8068792320 Byte

so, end is at 15759359 (*512 bs)

so:
truncate –size=$[(15759359+1)*512] my.img

this should work now. if not, let me know.

new created SD card can resized then again with gparted.
