+If all has worked, the Raspberry Pi should now boot up. Once booted and logged in, we can check the partition sizes.

+From the command line, use:
+\\
+\\

+We can see from the /dev/root line above that the size is reported as 2.0G and that 880M is available. This is an 8Gb SD Card, and we need to reclaim that extra space. To do this, from the command line enter:
+\\
+\\
+    sudo raspi-config
