Create a copy:
cp org_partition.img new_partition.img
Create a device for the image, note the returned '/dev/loop20' might be different for you:
sudo losetup -f --show new_partition.img /dev/loop20
Check and fix the file system:
sudo e2fsck -f /dev/loop20
Shrink your file system to the minimum size. Note that this does not shrink the image file itself.
sudo resize2fs -M /dev/loop20 Resizing the filesystem on /dev/loop20 to 1304407 (4k) blocks. The filesystem on /dev/loop20 is now 1304407 (4k) blocks long.
Disconnect the device:
sudo losetup -d /dev/loop20
1304407 * 4 * 1024 bytes = 5342851072 bytes
Truncate the file:
truncate -s 5342851072 new_partition.img
Enlarge the file system again to fit available space:
resize2fs -f new_partition.img The filesystem is already 1304407 (4k) blocks long. Nothing to do!
Check and allow the tool to fix errors:
e2fsck -f new_partition.img Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes Pass 2: Checking directory structure Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity Pass 4: Checking reference counts Pass 5: Checking group summary information Block bitmap differences: -(531654--531655) -(532478--532479) -(857474--858485) Fix<y>? yes Free blocks count wrong for group #16 (815, counted=819). Fix<y>? yes
