# How to do it

### Preperations

You need to be in a rescue system or have the disk unmounted. That is non negotiable!  
Also make a snapshot/backup of you system!

---

### Resizing

1. e2fsck -f /dev/sdXY
2. resize2fs /dev/sdXY XG
3. fdisk /dev/sdX

In fdisk you need to:

1. Delete the old partition (d)
2. Recreate it (n) 
    1. Use +XG to resize it to the GB amount you choose when using resize2fs
3. Write it (w)

Now you should have a working partition that is resized to the amount you wanted.
