#Have two partitions how do I merge them?

i recommend you backing up everything from home partition, deleting it, extending root partition, and moving everything back to home directory
like, really copy whole user folder to somewhere, and then, after extending, copy it back to /home
If home is less than half full you could also:
- Resize home to be as small as possible without data loss
- Expand root into the free space
- Copy the files to root
- Delete the home partition
- Expand root to fill the free space
It's still best to make a backup though
Don't forget tu modify your fstab and regen the initramfs if you go changing your partition layout, or the system won't be bootable
i would say the easiest way to do this is the following: tar ur /home directory, boot into a rescue cd, delete home partition, extend root partition to the empty space when done regenerate fstab, boot again and untar the /home dir
So basically hyperwin's suggestion.
Yes lol
well i added the tar utility
