Hi,
I have Ubuntu 11.10 installed on a 1 TB USB HD. In gparted it looks like this:
/dev/sdb1 - ext2 - 235 MiB - /boot
/dev/sdb2 - unk - 5 GiB
/dev/sdb3 - extended 925 GiB
__ /dev/sdb5 - ext4 - 28 GiB
__ /dev/sdb6 - ext4 - 897 GiB - /home
unallocated - unallocated 1.16 MiB
How can I move some of the /dev/sdb6 space to /dev/sdb1? I need a larger /boot section since update manager says I need more space (16% free). /home has a lot of extra space. If I simply resizes /dev/sdb6 it creates a new unallocated under /dev/sdb3. I don't have an option for resizing /dev/sdb1 past 235 MiB.
Thanks,
Dan
