Disk space crunch? Allocated way too much space to home partition (/home) and now wanting to shift some of that space to root partition (/) or vice versa? Or in general want to know how to resize disk partitions in Linux? You are in the right place. I will show you the easiest way to resize partitions in Linux from scratch.
In windows we can partition disks without going into a live environment. At max we will be asked to just reboot and the partition manager will take care of the rest.
But in Linux, the process is a bit different. Let’s say we have Ubuntu on our system. I will be focusing on dual booted Ubuntu in this article, but this method will work on pure Linux systems as well.
