[SOLVED] Shrinking Home Partition and Resizing Root

So I used the autopartition tool in the arch installer (sort of a bad idea I guess) and now I'm left with not enough space on my root partition, I was wondering. Is resizing the partition as easy as booting up into GParted, shrinking my home partition (sda4) and resizing my root one (sda3), or is there more to it? Are there things I should beware of? Thanks in advance.

Yes it is as easy as you mention.


But the only thing is that you have to BE CAREFUL !!

Bad things can happen if you mistakenly delete partitions that you shouldn't be. As always, TAKE A BACKUP before attempting the shrink/resize.

There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !
