I installed ubuntu 15.04 and used entire space(640 GiB) for ext4 partition but now it is showing that used space = 30.91 GiB, free space = 24.96 GiB and 536.40 GiB unallocated space. I tried to extend the space of file system using Gparted but its not working. So could any one please tell me how can I extend or allocate the space. enter image description here

output after command

sudo parted -l

enter image description here

Gparted is not showing option for resize thats the problem.

    Please [edit] your question and add the output of the terminal command sudo parted -l. That will probably give us more information than your screenshot... – Byte Commander May 09 '15 at 18:16

  • ^ In my case, I am not able to resize my /dev/sda1 parting as its clear in snapshot though I don't know the reason behind this. And before posting this I went through that answer. – Anonymous May 09 '15 at 22:28
  • Who is showing "536.40 GiB unallocated space". It seems sda1 is already maxed out at around 636GB but there is conflicting evidence about that. Something is weird. There is a red icon on /dev/sda1 in gparted. what does it says when you right-click on it ? – solsTiCe May 09 '15 at 22:29
  • after right click its showing only four options
    1. resize/move
    2. unmount
    3. Manage flags
    4. info.

You can allocate the free space (with GParted) by Right-Clicking it > New. Set its new space to 536.4 GB, label it and create the new partition. Apply the action by clicking that green V under the Device tab. Then you will be able to create an extended partition.
