Resize flash drive partition

[Seige]

Hi all,

 

I am very happy with unraid for a while now. Back then (Version 6.0b10 afaik) I used the wiki guide to create the flash drive to boot from. It has a size of 16gb but the provided tool only created a 1gb partition. Now, I am wondering what the safest option would be to increase the partition size to fit the size of the drive.

 

Should I create a backup, format the stick and recreate a bootable and the copy and replace all files with the existing ones? Or is there a more elegant way? Mind you, my main machine is on windows.

 

Cheers,

Seige

 

P.S.: Apologies if there is already a thread on this topic. I tried to search for it extensively, but nothing came up.

Windows Disk Management should be able to resize the partition.  If that doesn't work then AOEMI Partition Assistant should be able to do it.  Do a clean shutdown on your unRAID server and backup the USB stick before starting.
