EXTEND EXT4 PARTITION HOW TO

See you in the next post! Hope this one helped you out. The Extended partition is out of Linux or unallocated partition.This complete procedure worked fine for me, but I know there must be many more cases of resizing that I havenвЂ™t discussed like. Just run this command and youвЂ™ll see something like. $ sudo update-initramfs -u $ sudo grub-update Comment out the swap UID line from the file: /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume.# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a # device this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices # that works even if disks are added and removed. # /etc/fstab: static file system information. Comment out the swap UID line from the file: /etc/fstab.This step is only applicable if you deleted вЂњlinux-swapвЂќ. You have successfully resized your linux partition with Gparted. It would take few minutes to complete the process.ДЄnd soon! You are good to go. And confirm, if prompted for a confirmation. To apply the changes, just click on the вЂњtickвЂќВ symbol in green color at tool-bar of Gparted. Here you may see, that linux partition is successfully merged with unallocated partitions. For this go to ext4.ДЄfter you are done with resizing the output would be like. Now, you have to resize your ext4 to merge with unallocated partition. Step 4: Merge ext4 with unallocated partition See the image below (after merging all unallocated partitions). Unallocated partition: that is followed by /dev/sda6.Note: my /dev/sda6 (ntfs) is my Local-Disk: D (in Windows).В I have already formated that partition from Windows,В you are also recommended to either shift or remove data from the partitions you are going to unallocate. This will unallocate the linux-swap partition. If this is not the case with you, I recommend you to explore the web. Refer this link.В Also, in my case, all my Linux-partition, unallocated partition, and ntfs partition are available in a single Extended-partition. But you are recommended to explore the web to find out if you really need вЂњlinux-swapвЂќ partition or not before proceeding ahead. Shift swap partition such that, unallocated space preceeds it.If your memory is filled up completely, any additional applications will be run off of the SWAP partition rather than memory. This partition acts to handle the overflow of your RAM. But, as you may see I have вЂњlinux-swapвЂќВ partition between вЂњntfsвЂќ (that I am going to unallocate soon) and вЂњext4вЂќ (that I wanted to extend by merging it with unallocated partitions). Step 1: Open GpartedДЇor resizing a Linux Partition you should have unallocated space around it.

In this post, find out how to use Gparted for resizing Linux partition. To explore the same, you may visit my previous post on Grub Rescue. Today, I just messed up with my system (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS), but now everything is fine! Actually, I was going to resize my Linux partition with Gparted, but I didnвЂ™t know that a freaking experience was waiting for me.
