I am really new to ubuntu, and I wanted to extend my dual boot Ubuntu partition, but there is no option to which I can extend it.

I have run gparted, then I swapoff the linux-swap. I already have an unallocated space but the resize function is not extendable. What I wanted is to resize the ubuntu hdd which I think is dev/sda6.

Here is the image: enter image description here

When clicking resize: enter image description here

What am I doing wrong? Thanks for the help. Hope you could guide me, because I dont to ruin my boot. Thank you.

it's a long tricky process..you have to shift the sda3 partition to the end (it takes a while and DO NOT STOP the process if you're getting bored ^_^) after that you can resize your sda6 partition

  • How long will it take for all the unallocated?

  • there are 2 factors..occupied space to shift (in your case 291GB..which are a lot) and quality of the HDD. Making a guess..3 to 6 hours..
