Re: Unallocated space within partion
How exactly did you "resize" your partition? there's no unallocated space in that screenshot.

Re: Unallocated space within partion
So you've resized the filesystem, now you need to resize the actual partition.
See e.g. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … partitions
Side note: I assume you've made backups before starting this.
