I wish to increase size of my /
partition (current size 21 GB), is that possible somehow? I have more free space available, but don’t know how to add it into the existing partition. I have created a new partition (named Extra, size 12 GB) with that free space and would like to either merge it with /
or if that’s not possible is there any way to change the mount point. Because the new partition I have created with the free space currently get mounted at /media/Extra
and I have to mount it every time I start computer.
Here is the output of sudo fdisk -l

Partition table entries are not in disk order
Please help me in resolving this issue. Thanks!!
