I was able to resize the partition in Genode, by yust increasing the RAM amount to 800M and restart the component via
the version tag in /config/deploy.

When I tried to do partition stuff with gparted/resize2fs in a live linux, the system wouldn't boot anymore.

After expanding the partition in Genode, I was able to resize the partition. And was able to reboot the system.
