Unable to expand root partition automatically using raspi-config

[brettvitaz]

After creating a mini image and writing it to another sd card, I was unable to expand the root partition using the raspi-config tool. I was able to do this by manually running the partition tools, but it would be preferable to do this automatically.

Other things that have happened that may have caused a problem: I upgraded to Raspbian Jessie.

Thank you for this tool. It was simple to use and worked well.

It mostly came up with some symlink error message ?? That is a thing with raspi-config that happens all the time. I agree a automagic resizing on boot would be nice, I'll keep it in mind for the next time I'm playing with it.

Have A Great Day ShorTie .. :)~

The first message is: /dev/root does not exist or is not a symlink. Don't know how to expand

I attempted to resolve this by creating the symlink by executing sudo ln -s /dev/mmcblk0p2 /dev/root This didn't help the problem much, and the error message is now: /dev/root is not an SD card. Don't know how to expand
