Extending my / partition ubunto 20.04
by alex4buba from LinuxQuestions.org on (#579XF)
I found another post on my topic, but it is scary... So, I will ask it here for my own case.
I got warning that my / partition is out of space. I searched a bit and found somwhere to delete my Swap partition (not sure it was a good idea, from my 30+ years of Windows, I think it is important to have it)
Anyway - I now have 7.63GB of unallocated space.
1) Can I merge that space into my /dev/sda7 file system ext4?
2) That unallocated space, is sitting one line above it
3) If I but from a USB on go into Try option
4) It seems it will move the partion, will I loose data?
Or is there a more safe way to do it?
Thank you
Alex
