How to a resize a partition?

Hey,

I wanted to know how to resize a partition. Normally, I would just use Fdisk, but I am having an issue. The space I actually want to allocate to this partition is behind it. I want to allocate the space behind the 1887438848 sector, but I am afraid that I don't know how to do this without data loss, or if its even possible.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
MisuteriasuKe

That doesn't tell us anything.
Growing a partition to the right is no big deal, growing it to the left requires to move the filesystem and is an awesome way to provoke data loss. Combining disjoint segments of a disk into a partition will require a logical volume manager, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/LVM

Please post the output of "fdisk -l" and detail what you actually want to do.
