Are you familiar with the Gnome Partition Editor (gparted)? You can install that tool, which will provide a graphical interface for modifying your extra partition's size, position on disk, etc.


sudo apt-get install gparted

To make it mount so you can use it when you boot - add it to /etc/fstab.

How to fstab - Ubuntu Forums (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=283131)

If you have questions put the content of /etc/fstab and the output of


sudo fdisk -l (lowercase L at the end)

also the output of
sudo blkid -c /dev/null
