Dear Linux community..,
I need your help! So, I have Windows and Linux Mint installed as Dual Boot installed, I got 3 Linux partitions, a Root partition, a swap partition and a Home partition. I would like to expand the storage of the Root and Home partition, I tried it via the Tool GParted, I installed it on a USB Stick to use it as LiveOS and change the partitions sizes of Linux, but I faced a few issues:
- I can only expand the Root partition since the unlocatted storage is above it
- I can not expand nor move the home partition and it's beyond the root and swap partition
- I can't move the swap partiton
- I receive a lot of warnings that it cuold breaking booting into lnto Linux and break the Grub which I definitly want to avoid, but as I took a look at the FaQ how to fix it if it breaks I just was overwhelmed.
- I'm unable to make a full backup of my linux partitions since I have no external hard drvive I could use for this
- I got some much importmant stuff on Linux Mint which definitly would be worse losing
So, how can I safely with minimal risk expand the root and home partition?
