I'm running out of space on my root(/sda10). I want to merge the drive Ubuntu(/sda8 - 10 GiB) in my root(/sda10).

I don't have any unallocated space so.

  1. Should I format the Ubuntu(/sd8) in ext4 format and then resize the /sda10 parition?

  2. I read here [How to resize partitions? ] that GParted has to resize a partition above or below your partition that you need to extend -- which is a bit confusing.

Below is my parition screenshot.

This is my parition screenshot.

    Your drive is full. Partitions need extra space to function. NTFS needs about 30% free to run really well, at 10% free, you just about cannot run a defrag. Linux partitions also need some extra space, but hides 5% to prevent total crash. But I think gparted shows actual use with 5%. – oldfred Jan 09 '16 at 21:59
  • I have the extra space in form of Ubuntu (/sd8 ntfs 10gb) drive. I want to merge this drive into my /sda10. – Saurabh Rana Jan 09 '16 at 22:03

    If /dev/sd8 doesn't have any data then what I suggest is to format it to ext4 i,e same partition as /dev/sda10 and then merge it without loosing any data using gparted. Hope you got it what I want to say. – Saurav Kumar Jan 09 '16 at 22:43
