3. Resize your root partition:
   1. On Linux Host: just use GParted to resize ext4 partition;
   2. On RPi: follow this guide (except that you don't need sudo and swap partition). That basically boils down to the following steps:
      1. $ fdisk -uc /dev/mmcblk0 d 2 n p 2 139264 xxxxx w
      2. $ reboot
      3. $ resize2fs -p /dev/mmcblk0p2
