Extend SDA5 (Linux VMWare instance)

Question

I want to extend my sda5 partition.

I extended the disk via VMWare GUI, and then, with gparted, I am trying to extend my sda5 partition, but It seems I cannot.

I want either one of these approaches:

1. Move /home to sda3
2. Extend /sda5 (preferably this)

Regards!

Answer 1

I solved it via de 1 method:

cd /mnt/
ls
mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/
cd /mnt/
rm -rf lost+found/
cp -rp /home/* /mnt/
mv /home/ /home.orig
mkdir /home
cd /
umount /dev/sda3
mount /dev/sda3 /home/
df /dev/sda3
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Filesystem     1K-blocks    Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3       51342396 7936608  40767968  17% /home
------------------------------------------------------------------------
cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.orig
nano /etc/fstab

Added this line to fstab:

/dev/sda3 /home ext4 defaults 0 0

rm -r /home.orig

df -u

The result is:
