If I have a linux partition that I'd like to change the size of (either expand or shrink), how would I go about doing that without using a Live CD/USB stick or gparted (or something similar like lextend)? I'm particularly interested in how to change the size of a partition of a filesystem that I'm working from (i.e. booting in Mint and changing the partition size of the Mint partition).

I'd prefer to do all of the work from the terminal.

  • Have you tried gparted?

  • +1 for gparted, but if you must use the terminal here's a good Q&A on using parted

  • @SDSolar I'm aware of gparted and I'd like to not use it

  • @pcdev oh awesome. Thanks. That's exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for.
