In your case you will have to use LVM to add the gained space to your root partition, this I've no experience of but I think you can use yast.
This is far from trivial. Needs backup, repartition, format, recover from backup, reinstall grub.
Which is, anyway, what I would do, but without LVM.
There were tools in Windows that could move partitions around, but I'm unsure in Linux. I think there was one, but I never tried. It is possible to grow a partition, at the end of it.
The only possibility without moving things is to add a /usr or /usr/something partition. And I would not do that. I would go the backup, repartition, restore route.
TBH, my approach would be to dump the double system partition 'for future updates'. I've done that, too, in the past - and mostly regretted it later. If you want to test a new install, you might as well do it with a separate USB disk, and when fine, move that one to the main disk (or do a dup/reinstall). Then you'd only have to combine the two consecutive partitions, which is relatively easy if your current system is in the lower one. (also, moving a system to a different partition is really easy with btrfs - you might consider that for a new install....) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
