I have Debian Jessie 64bit and Windows 10 alongside and i want to increase root partition (in my configuration called sda5) size.
I installed gparted in version 0.19, but he doesn't allow me to change size of any partition.
I was trying to shrink home partition first and extend root it automatically sets previous value.
When i try to reduce size of single partition it automatically sets previous value. He shows that minimal value is equal to maximal.
Why gparted doesn't work?
I also tried to do this by command line:fdisk -l returns:
Disk /dev/sda: 238.5 GiB, 256060514304 bytes, 500118192 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

I previously read that partitions must be continous. I want to increase root partition by 5GB from home partition.
Do i need to change size of each partition beetween root (sda5) and home (sda9)?
I was also trying to remove swap partition basing on this post:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/492054/how-to-extend-my-root-partition
but sudo resize2fs /dev/sda doesn't increase size of root partion becase there is var partition beetween them. I created swap partition once again to restore previous state.
What should i do? Please help.
