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?
upd: gparted just worked(through a live usb stick)! Sometimes I try to use symlinks, but not this time :) Thanks everyone!
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.
