I am using ubuntu 20.10 and when I first started using it, I assigned 20 GB of one of my 1 TB drives to it, thinking i wont use all of it anytime soon. I was wrong. In an attempt to expand it, I have set 20 more gigs from the drive as unallocated space behind it. None of the disk managers from windows or ubuntu will let me set the space behind it as expanded space. How would I go about doing that?

    Only use Windows to shrink NTFS partitions. And then you have to use gparted (or other Linux tools) from live installer so all partitions are unmounted. You may also have to unmount swap in gparted or with swapoff. Then is drive MBR with extended & logical partitions which complicates things or gpt? Post this above, so it can keep its format. `sudo parted -l` https://askubuntu.com/questions/126153/how-to-resize-partitions – oldfred Apr 04 '21 at 15:17

  • You don't need your Ubuntu system to be on one partition. If you can carve out another partition. even on your other drive, you can then mount or even bind-mount that partition as part of your ubuntu local system. – Stephen Boston Apr 04 '21 at 20:04
