List your old partitiontable:[minepeon@Green-Pie ~]$ sudo fdisk -l

You need to delete first p5 and than p2
if done recreate themsudo fdisk /dev/mmcblk0
- press d for delete p5 and p2
- press n for new partition
Command (m for help): n
Partition type:
p primary (1 primary, 0 extended, 3 free)
e extended
Select (default p): e
Partition number (2-4, default 2):
First sector (186368-31116287, default 186368):
Last sector, +sectors or +size{K,M,G,T,P} (186368-31116287, default 31116287):

The partition table has been altered.
Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.
Re-reading the partition table failed.: Device or resource busy
The kernel still uses the old table. The new table will be used at the next reboot or after you run partprobe(8) or kpartx(8).
