Is it possible to reallocate space on Linux partitions?

Question

linux

Good day! Put Linux as the second system. During installation, I divided it into sections: / (root), / home and swap.
Since I am a novice user, and I set the system as “second”, I didn’t mark the disks correctly. The floor of the root partition allocated very little space, thinking that I will put all applications in / home. Now in the root situation with a shortage, and in the home situation with an excess. Is it possible to reallocate space without livesd?

Answer 1

Without LVM it's entirely possible, the commenters are wrong.
But without LiveCD is no longer there.

Answer 2

If installed on lvm, then it is enough to simply redistribute the space, if on ordinary partitions, then it is non-trivial and easier to reinstall.

Answer 3

If LVM was used - it is possible, otherwise it is impossible.

Answer 4

It's hard to shrink a section. Not all FS can do this on the fly, not all can do it in principle. Extending a partition is usually not a problem. It's easier with LVM, but in a pinch it's possible without it...
Standard installation for a beginner - trust the installer. And even better - all in one section

Make a LiveCD on a flash drive, GParted is there, and don't worry.

Answer 6

load from a flash drive or linux + gparted and edit
