Well, it depends on how full /home is. If you can shrink home to 2gb or less, and move it into the free space you create, you can then grow / to the size you want, move /home back, and expand it again. Or you can backup /home, remove it, grow /, recreate /home to its new size, and restore it.Mikkel L.

The problem is that the free space is now at the end of the disk, so you can not add it to the first partition. (It could be done if you were using LVM for /.)Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 510 4096543+ 83 Linux /dev/sda2 511 854 2763180 83 Linux This computer has one of those SSD drives in EEEpcThe harddrive has been partitioned with a / and /home ext3 by FC9 and operating system is installed. I split the 8gb SSD harddrive in half, equal to two partitons and now I find / needs more space than /home. I took 1gb away with Gparted from /home and it is now "unallocated" I want give that 1gb , to /Mikkelnow I have to hope I get as lucky on a new install. Well as the Marines say, "War is Hell, but Peace Time is a SOB"
But if you are going to try this while booting from the drive, I would back up anything important and be ready to re-install. You can boot in run level 1, and unmount /home, but it is still risky changing the size of mounted partitions.
