I may to create a video for our dear Veleno via Primitive Free Software term.
Free Software it was the first to get the fully mitochondrial energy via RMS to fight against proprietary software. Gnu opted Linux in 1990 to speed up a Libre OS development, however 1997 Linux started to integrate BLOBs via Gnu, so Linux it is not Gnu from 2000 but still via downstream Gnu Linux FSFLA. :wink:
Linus Tolvalds do not care Freedom but Usability.

To fix this, I went to Gnome-Disks → clicked the gear icon on the rootfs partition → clicked resize → clicked ‘-’ → clicked ‘+’ and then clicked the RED Resize button. After I did this, I watched the numbers drain from ~500 MB Free to 59 GB Free!

It is difficult to follow exactly what you did.

If you are going to do this with a GUI, can you capture a screenshot of what the partitions look like in gparted immediately after … reflash phone and boot Jumpdrive … and before doing anything ?

Obviously if you are going to do this using Jumpdrive, make sure that you select the correct disk device in gparted since the host computer can have any number of its own local disk devices.

I’m not totally convinced that you need to use Jumpdrive. When I reflashed byzantium I can see from my notes that I just did the resize on the phone itself (as root) from the command line. (Unfortunately the exact same commands won’t work here because I was flashing the encrypted variant and that doesn’t exist yet for crimson, and I haven’t found the time yet to reflash my own phone to crimson.)

You always have the option to boot Jumpdrive and then telnet in to the phone. That would then give some information about the state of the disk, its partitions, etc.
