  • Have you read this yet ~ askubuntu.com/questions/28561/… I have never tried to resize from Gparted. Last time I resized a partition I used Partition Magic, and that was a long, long time ago.

  • This isn't what I need, because I can't copy all things in the home folder to the new partition because Home folder size bigger than the new partition size -_-

  • In any case it is very risky to do such stuff without backups. If gparted doesn't give you the option there will be a reason for it. Maybe it's just not enough space to fill a block or the space it not adjacent to the partition.

You can only extend the partition if there is un-allocated disk to its side.

In your case dev/sda8 is in between your file system and un-allocated space. So if want to extend the file system first move the partition dev/sda8 to right and try extending the file system.

Be careful when you move the partition it may result in data lost.

Tell me if it works

Here is the solution to your problem.. Even though you have unallocated space in your drive, it is not right next to the partition whose size you want to increase. Try moving (NOT-increasing the size of) sda8 to the right, and try resizing your file-system partition.
