I have a ext4 partition (as described on the shema) that I want to increase its size, but can I do that when I have the contiguous swap partition in red? GParted doesn't allow me to remove the swap partition (only to disable it) to recreate. How should I proceed to increase the size of sda2?

  • The *lock* symbols show mounted partitions that can't be resized due to in-use. Most *file-systems* can't be resized during operation, and you're not using any *fs* that can be. It's best (*or at least easiest!*) to reboot into *live* media, so the *live* media (*thumb-drive*) is in-use, and you can resize partitions on your normal disk/ssd.... – guiverc Jan 18 '23 at 21:56

    Three options. One resize. I might move swap to end and make smaller like 4GB. Check if UUID changes and update fstab if required. Or create partition and use as /home. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving Or create partition and use as data partiiton but leave /home with user settings in /. https://askubuntu.com/questions/1013677/storing-data-on-second-hdd-mounting & https://askubuntu.com/questions/1058756/installing-all-applications-on-a-ssd-disk-and-putting-all-files-on-hdd-disk – oldfred Jan 19 '23 at 03:38
