Why can't expand partitions?

Question

linux

Hello, please tell me why it is not possible to expand the partitions / dev / sda2 / dev / sda6, there is 21GB of unused space, it turns out to expand only the swap partition. I booted in live mode from a flash drive, tried using cfdisk and gparted, but it doesn’t work, it shows 0 free space for expansion. I am attaching a screenshot: The


screenshot was made from the installed system, because I don’t know how to save the screenshot from live mode.

Answer 2

LVM should be used to dynamically move partitions. That is what it is intended for. How to use is written here
