 I have a 16Gb image with plenty of room for everything.
+(Note from BBotany on a different route to expanding the filesystem.) If you are working on a system that does not contain gparted, it is possible to use cfdisk to expand the final partition. Simply select the partition, and apply the "maximize" option. This will also extend the extended partition container (aka "partition 4") automatically. However, you will need to resize the filesystem that is on the partition separately; it is easy to use "resize2fs" to do this. If this is not on the machine you changed partition sizes on (or you forgot to expand the filesytem before reinserting the SD card in the hackerboard), it is present on the hackerboard by default. After the partition table has been modified, simply run resize2fs on the partition. If you are on your own linux host, you presumably know where this is. If you are on the hackerboard itself, then the commands are as follows: unmount the partition with "umount /mnt/storage/", run the resize as: "resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p6", and then remount it with "mount /mnt/storage/". When I upgraded to an 8GB SD card, this gave me a /mnt/storage of 6.4GB.
