How to expand /home in Ubuntu?

Question

linux

Good day to all. I want to expand the /home partition by biting off the space from the NTFS volume (/dev/sda3), how can I do this? Screenshot from GParted and mount output attached

Answer 1

compress / bite off sda3, merge the resulting unallocated with sda4
then you need to shift the partitions so that the unallocated is next to sda8
after expanding sda8 due to the resulting free space next
to everything why do you need such a
19gb
swap? you can take a bite out of it and add it to sda8.
in order not to move partitions, you can create another sda9 (anywhere) and already mount it in some user directory /home/USER/NEW_DIR
ps. ps.
it will be even better this way (with mounting the partition to a user directory)
i.e. in your ~/ only configs and the most necessary will be stored,
and in ~/NEW_DIR you can put any file dump.
I would reduce /home to 20-30GB, and give the rest to another partition, which I would mount in /home/USER/NEW_DIR

Answer 2

moving partitions with GParted on a regular hard drive is not a quick thing to say the least.
acceleration options:
- NTFS partitions are faster and more correct to change with the Acronis Disk Director tool
- if the Linux root start shifts, you will need to reinstall it anyway. prepare in advance (it's not scary, but you have to be prepared)
- EXT2/3/4 are perfectly backed up and restored by Acronis True Image, which actually makes it possible both to make a preliminary backup (it is very desirable to a third-party medium), and to significantly speed up the repartitioning of
ps in any the case of backups is our everything. and it’s better to train first on virtual cats
