partitioning - Merge partition with partition on the left - Ask Ubuntu
i have following partitions
have no problem translating image, in dutch, should self-explanatory.
i want merge /dev/sda8
/dev/sda5
without losing data /dev/sda5
i've looked around not find answer.
as can see, sda8
not mounted , it's contents can lost no problem.
when remove partition , try move sda5
, won't let me. can't move partition left reason.
as oldfred pointed out:
you have use live installer. cannot modify mounted partitions & little key icon says mounted. not moving left interruption power failure, impatient user, etc totally corrupts it. have backups. prefer have smaller system partitions 25gb , larger /home or data partition(s). use data partition, newer users find setting /home easier. question #743095
