Resize Linux Partitions Without Data Loss

You can use the command line tool GParted to adjust the size of Linux partitions, and here are the specific steps to do so.

  1. You can install the GParted tool first, either through a package manager or through the command line.
sudo apt-get install gparted
  1. Open the GParted tool and enter the following command:
sudo gparted
  1. Select the partition you want to resize in the GParted tool, right-click on it, and choose the “Resize/Move” option.
  2. In the pop-up window, the size of the partition can be adjusted by dragging the partition boundaries, or by manually entering a new size.
  3. Click on the “Resize/Move” button to confirm the resizing of the partition.
  4. Finally, click the “Apply” button on the toolbar to apply the partition resize.

Please note that it is recommended to back up important data before resizing partitions to avoid accidental loss.
