Enlarge Arch Partition?

I have arch installed on /dev/sda6.  It's 10 GB in size--which I'm finding is getting a little snug, space-wise.

Can I shrink the next partition (/dev/sda7) by 5 GB, and expand /dev/sda6 into the resulting space? (Resulting in a 15 GB partition.)

root and home are both on /sda6 ...


Hey, be nice...I'm new at this!

That's what I was going to use.  My concern is that expanding the partition will render the install unbootable, or...something.

Re: Enlarge Arch Partition?

It shouldn't but the wiki can help you if it does.  See the "install from existing" article for chroot usage.
