Hello

used a 32GB micro-SD-card for the REDPITAYA.
Now I use another 16GB SD-card for REDPITAYA and want to use the 32GB SD-card with full storage
within another device like camera.

Question: how do I get the full storage volume back on the 32GB SD_card?
The REDPITAYA system formats its own way, leaving most of the storage volume unused and not acessible!

The Red Pitaya image for the sd-card devides the free space into 2 partitions with fixed sizes. If you want to use the card at full capacity again, you have to remove these 2 partitions and create a new one that encompasses the whole card.

How to do that depends on the operating system you are using. You can find instructions how to repartition sd-cards in your OS with your search engine of choice.

Similar question:
can i simply format the remaining sector into a new ext4 partition (with a tool like gparted) and then mount that from within my RP via ssh?

Sure. The Red Pitaya runs a normal linux - even though its inventory of device drivers is a bit lean.
