I started using Linux (ubuntu os dual boot) lately and the installation completed smoothly. I allocated the swap and root partition in SSD and the home partition in HDD. After that, I realized the home partition is too small and tried to add more space to it. But I can't do anything with the home partition. It can't be extended from the left and it always says that "the partition is busy".


Here is the HDD structure.



  • The first, second and sixth are from Window.

  • The fifth is the empty space.

  • The last one is the home partition.

You can only resize partitions that are not currently in use. Thus, shut down the machine, boot a live installation CD and use gparted from a live session. gparted is available by default in a live session, not in an installed instance of Ubuntu.
