Running out of space..even when on external SD - Solved -

So finally finished with kalitop10 image install and setup. Had to expand. Img file because by default 4gb is not big enough and always ran out of space. Check by; df -h

When run out of space, 1 symptom is, in Desktop Environment you just get a gray screen with cursor. Looks like a XTerm environment. When this was happening, I thought I broke it by doing an update.

Heres how to increase space. Closed all apps on phone. Used terminal on actual android (Note 8) and cd to Sd card where image was located. Then type; resize2fs {filename.img} 5000M I'm sure others have this problem and didn't see any solution directly. Updated and running running..
