Hello! I have a /home partition that is almost full, and there is another partition nearby with a lot of free space. I would like to reduce the size of this neighboring partition and add the freed space to /home. I would like to do this safely, without using a Live USB or bootable flash drive. Is this possible?
That adds an unneccessary layer of complexity to thr situation. Resizing partitions isn’t difficult or takes long.
Hard disagree. Resizing partitions is dangerous and difficult for most computer users.
(I’m a sysadmin who does this stuff multiple times a day, so this isn’t negative bias)
Symlinking is quick, easy, totally safe. It’s one of the best things about linux filesystems. Use it.
