Arch will resize the root partition during first boot (and you will see the text messages on the screen) - my full arch installation with several added applications takes only 5.4Gb of disk. So I suspect the best thing to do would be to reinstall arch.

I assume you are using a Danct12 image?

What I'm trying to do is use my 128GB microSD card that I have just dd'd with /dev/zero as a method to extend the storage of my pinephone, thus letting me use it regularly. How can I accomplish this?
