Moved a complete system with user data from a 200 GB hard drive to a 2 TB hard drive using dd. After that, the system worked without problems. Output of fdisk -l: I.e. about 1.8 TB more is unallocated space. How can I extend the /dev/sda6 partition to all the free space on the disk without losing data?

Диск /dev/sda: 2000.4 ГБ, 2000398934016 байт 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 243201 cylinders Units = цилиндры of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x000f3d6b Устр-во Загр Начало Конец Блоки Id Система /dev/sda1 1 3040 24413184 83 Linux /dev/sda2 3040 24322 170945537 5 Расширенный /dev/sda5 3040 3283 1951744 82 Linux своп / Solaris /dev/sda6 3283 24322 168992768 83 Linux

Boot from gparted livecd and there you will understand the GUI, very simple.

And why is it so important to expand an existing partition, and not create a new one and then mount it?
The standard system tools (palimpsest), as I understand it, do not help?
