chapter 22 ,lab 22.2

you cannot resize sda1 if sda2 is right after it (you can make it smaller, not bigger). Furthermore resizing an extended partition is rather difficult and requires unmounting any partitions after it and perhaps in it. Not advised to even try

Hi @saumya043 ,

As Coop said, it won't be simple to resize an already mounted partition (as /boot). But if you really want to play with it, you can boot with a "live cd" like GParted: https://gparted.org/livecd.php .

Note: just be sure to boot it into the VM, not your personal laptop or desktop, hehehe.

Regards,
Luis.

gparted is rather sensitive to the exact filesystems and their versions in use as it is to the version of gparted. For example, using a Ubuntu livecd on a Fedora system will work in principle, but might result in damage. The non-GUI tools are more cumbersome to use but often I have had to work with them as safer version wise.
