What are you trying to accomplish? resizing an encrypted Luks partition is difficult and dangerous. Reformating the entire partition to ntfs is something entirely different and would require you to backup and restore all data. Also NTFS doesn't support linux file permissions so you can't install Ubuntu on it. – Minos Jul 21 '15 at 09:22

Linux while installing doesn't configure the file system? I want the other partition for trying other operating systems – Sandeep V Jul 21 '15 at 14:42

Yes, the Ubuntu installer will give you an option to choose a file system, however NTFS is not supported, as it doesn't support linux file permissions. By 'other partition' I assume you mean 'different formatting'. But I would suggest you just backup your data elsewhere and install whatever 'other operating systems' you like. – Minos Jul 21 '15 at 14:46
