I have a dual-boot system with Windows 10 and ubuntu 20.04. Earlier, I gave ubuntu 80 gb and 12 gb swap (for hibernation) while installing. Now I managed to free another 200 gb from my 1TB HDD and I wanna extend my ubuntu data (/) partition from a /boot partition. How can I do it without reinstalling Ubuntu? How much space should I allocate for /boot? This is the output of fdisk -l 2 3 4 and the output of lsblk is this.

  • What you can do very much depends on the current partitioning of your filesystem. It may be wise to include the output of sudo fdisk -l in your question, and lsblk, which will help to identify the current partitions. – vanadium May 12 '21 at 12:53
  • Most desktops do not need /boot as a partition. If you want to separate operating system from data, then a separate partition for /home works. Or you can just create a new ext4 partition, give yourself ownership & permissions, and mount partition to use as some or all of data. Many with large music or video libraries like a separate partition for those and may then backup those up separately. 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 May 12 '21 at 13:46
  • Basically I want to use a larger partition for the root of the filesystem because on I am running out of space so if I can extend or mount / to some bigger partition that'd be great – Lakshaya U. May 13 '21 at 05:09
