Hello.
I've given LL a small partition of 2 GB for home, because I use a larger partition for the user files from different linux installations. But the home of LL is running out of space. So I've tried to resize it. I 've copied the hole partition as backup:
To make the home partition larger with GParted was not possible, I only could shrink it. Therefore I decided to delete it an build it new from scratch.
But GParted does not allow to build a new larger partition. I assume, that the sequence of the partition numbers is not the same than the sequence of the real partitions on the drive.
How can I check the real sequence of the partitions on linux command line? Ok. I assume only with fdisk and the list of start blocks start and end blocks. Can I reorganize it without problems?
Second Problem: If tried to use the free unallocated space at the end of the hard drive, but GParted tells me that I have to create an extended partition first. But (!) there is an extended partition and there are about 19 partitions. What may be the problem?

I've tried to resize sda20 on which LL home has lived, until Friday evening. :![Smile Smile](https://www.freecinema2022.gq/forums/images/smilies/smile.png)
