  • From the picture it appears that ubuntu is installed in a Logical Volume Management Physical Volume (LVM2 PV), and not simply in a partition formatted with a file system. See Logical Volume Manager (Linux) for a description of LVM. Currently there is no unallocated space within the LVM2 PV and hence the LVM2 PV cannot be shrunk. You might have unused space within the Logical Volumes within the LVM2 PV. Aug 12, 2014 at 20:58

Short answer: When you installed Ubuntu, the installation have used the whole drive as 1 LVM partition, and that's why you can't create another partition, since there is no space left.

See if this helps you shrink the partition.
