Michael:

It can be painful depending on your circumstance.
Are you booting from the SD card or are you just mounting it?

I went thru this a while back on a TS-7260 doing a fastboot from the
SD and it was painful, but I've got a toolset that makes it easier.
To complicated to explain at the moment.

If you aren't booting from SD, it should just be a matter of putting a
filesystem on the 16G on your centos, tar'ing off the 512M on centos,
and un-tar'ing back onto 2G.

That all assumes that the cards read natively on your TS-xxx and Centos.
I had issues with some SD card makers on my Debian laptop.  I never got
to the bottom of it and just found an SD card vendor that worked.

I did it all with a 2G card and ext2 filesystem.  I don't think the 16G
is a problem.

BTW... I'm local in Falmouth.  If you want, we can speak by voice or
face-to-face.
