partitioning - Merge partition with partition on the left - Ask Ubuntu


i have following partitions

enter image description here 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
