how to extend root / partition by sinking swap (previously 6gb after sinking 4Gb , unallocated 2 Gb) and home (previously 11 Gb after sinking 8Gb, allocated 3Gb). How to extend those allocated partition to root? how to combine those 5gb to / partition? Help me! (this is partition extended from 30 Gb primary partition) so if not then, how to combine another 30gb (currently unallocated) partition that sinked from another primary volume.

  • The image hasn't come through. I suppose that is a Gparted screenshot? If you try to fix that it may help. – Julian Stirling Dec 20 '13 at 12:16

  • Sorry, is `sda4` Windows files, and is it `sda5` you are trying to expand?. If you move the Windows files partition `sda4` to the right to near the end of the disk - **be VERY careful there...**. You might then have enough space to expand root. – Wilf Dec 20 '13 at 12:47
  • how to combine those 2.62gb and 3gb unallocated partition and again combine it to "/" root ? please help me i m out of space ! – David parker Dec 20 '13 at 12:51
  • Select `sda7` and move it *(You can move right or left, depends on which partition you want to expand - see [@Avinash 's answer](http://askubuntu.com/a/393503/178596))*. This will take a while as it will have to transfer all of the data over to that bit of the hard disk, but should work. – Wilf Dec 20 '13 at 16:38

You can use Live Gparted to re-partitioning it.Just simply move other partition to the end of the bar till the Unallocated placed behind your partition

To add the unallocated space(2.62+3 GB)to the dev/sda7 partition follow the given steps below,

  • Boot ubuntu live disk and install gparted partition editor.

  • Open gparted and right-click on the /dev/sda7 partition to select Resize/Move option.

  • click on the left and right arrows and move it to the extreme left and right.So that the unallocated space above and below sda7 will be occupied.

  • After extending apply the changes.
