I am having short in disk space in my ubuntu /dev/sda6 and i have 11.08 GB of free space unallocated in the sense.I have followed different article about the repartition but they are not working here when i try to move/resize sda6 the there will not be any free space to extend but it reduce if we try.
Notice:-I know it's mounted for posting the queries i have to take screenshot so the mount option is there, i have used gparted by liveusb...

You have to move the 11 GB unallocated space which was on the top to below or above the /dev/sda6 ext4 partition.For this follow the below steps,

First you have to boot from gparted live disk or Ubuntu live disk.And make sure that all the partitions are unmounted.

Rightclick on the /dev/sda2 partition and select Resize/Move option.Move the dragger to extreme left and then click on Apply,so that the unallocated space comes just below to the /dev/sda2 partition.

Do the above step again on /dev/sda3 partition to get the unallocated space just below to the /dev/sda3 partition.Now your unallocated space will be just below to the /dev/sda3 partition.

Now right-click on the /dev/sda4 extended partition and select Resize/Move option.Click and expand the left arrow to get the unallocated space into the extended partition.

Now your 11 GB comes inside extended partition(just below to the /dev/sda9 partition.

Right-click on the /dev/sda9 partition and select Resize/Move.Click and move the dragger to the extreme right,so that the unallocated space comes just above to the /dev/sda9 partition.

Do the same above step on /dev/sda8 and /dev/sda7.After that,11 GB unallocated space will comes under /dev/sda6 root partition.

Now you can be able to resize your Ubuntu /dev/sda6 partition.

And make sure that you had backed up all the important datas before proceeding with gparted.
