I think you need to resize the partition on the SD card. Use a program called gparted.

thanks for the reply. Do i do it before mounting the image, or do it in the MATE on my pi?

You can resize in Ubuntu MATE on your PI 2 using Gparted (i think)

Install
Open Terminal (Ctrl + ALT + T )

Type:

sudo apt-get install gparted -y

then enter your password.

Run Gparted

Type:

gksudo gparted

then enter your password.

it should look like some like this :

I Agree Wimpy. I had typed the commands in as shown, and it was a tad confusing in some parts (multiple steps all crammed in as if it was a single command). “d, 2” is in fact two separate commands each followed by ‘enter’, not one single command-line argument. “d” enter, “2” enter, and from there on.

Also, I got an odd “unable to mound something” error when I told the thing to ‘w’-right the stuff from ram to disk before the reboot step (I don’t remember exactly what the error stated). I wasn’t sure it went all that well after seeing that. It did work out after a reboot and the ‘resize2fs’ step thing.
