I have been running an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32-bit installation for 3 years and before the installation I had allocated separate partitions for /home
and /
, but as my hard drive space is limited I did not see much use of it since the files in /home
directory is already in /
directory as far as I understood, is my interpretation correct? Apart from that I am constantly getting low disk space warnings and would like to allocate bigger space for my /home
and /
partitions. How can I do that without messing up my system? I can shrink the partition name DATA
in my system and move the mount point for root backwards, but I am afraid that this will lead to bigger problems. I am providing a SS from Gparted
so that you can visualize the problem.
