A simple trick reported by a colleague of mine skips the complex SD card reformatting procedure:
UPDATE: THE SIMPLE "TRICK" DOES NOT WOR ITH NETPIK!!! USE THE DESCRIPTION POSTED BEFORE INSTEAD
- Create an image of the SD card your netPI was delivered with using the tool win32diskimager https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/
- Write back this image to your own SD card which is usually a larger one
- Insert the new card in your netPI while using a prepared USB update stick to trigger a device update procedure as described in the FAQ https://www.netiot.com/?id=2427
- The update procedure reformats the new SD card and does a repartitioning to the maximum possible size
