Expanded a partition to fill empty space, but empty space is at the start of the partition and unuseable
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I've been using Mint 19 with the Cinnamon desktop for some months now and I love it. I deleted the Windows partition and was able to expand the Mint partition to fill the empty space. However, / is in the middle of the partition as Windows was before it. I presume I need to move / to the start of this disk, but of course I can't do that while it's mounted. Here's the output of sudo fdisk -l /dev/nvme0n1
Disk /dev/nvme0n1: 223.6 GiB, 240057409536 bytes, 468862128 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt
Disk identifier: 4B8F64AD-5EBF-4BE8-B06E-F59BCC833C3C
Device Start End Sectors Size Type
/dev/nvme0n1p2 1024000 1226751 202752 99M EFI System
/dev/nvme0n1p5 1226752 468860927 467634176 223G Linux filesystem
Sorry if any of my terminology is wrong - I'm still learning Linux.
