This what I did with a 1G card - it should also probably work with a 2G 
card.
I basically copied the 512M image to the card, then expanded the last 
partition to fill the card.
This was all done with the TS-7300 board.
I think I got this information from TS documentation somewhere, but I 
don't recall where.


- Quick boot (i.e. don't start the whole system, just the 1.7s deal)
- Remount original SD card read only (this isn't necessary - quick boot 
mounts it read only)
 mount -t ext2 -o defaults,noatime,sync,remount,ro 
/dev/sdcard0/disc0/part3 /   
- dd if=/dev/sdcard0/disc0/disc of=/dev/sdcard1/disc0/disc   (this takes 
a while.)
- ext2resize /dev/sdcard1/disc0/part3  (not on dev kit)
- fdisk /dev/sdcard1/disc0/disc, delete part3, then recreate starting in 
the same spot but using the remaining space
- reboot (to use new partition table from fdisk)
- exit to full boot, so sdcard is mounted r/w
- e2fsck -f /dev/sdcard1/disc0/part3
- resize2fs -p /dev/sdcard1/disc0/part3   (defaults to expanding to fill 
the whole partition)
