Description

Using dd to copy the rootfs.ext2 image to the 2nd partition on the SD card will cause the partition to appear to be nearly full and not utilize the rest of the SD card. The process should be to unpack a tar archive onto a previously created ext2 partition so that the files are copied from the rootfs to that partition. In this way the full space available on that 2nd partition will be available after the rootfs is copied into it.

This is a process related task. It needs to be documented on the wiki.
