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
