Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: LibreOffice Manager disc usage

Hi :)
Could you acquire a 'new' hard-drive to use for your /home?  Rsync rather than 
copy&paste to keep permissions the same.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving

If you want to resize your existing partitions then you would need to boot from 
a LiveCd/Usb or some other drive.  You could probably take the drive out of the 
machine it's in and put it as the 2nd drive in another machine.  You can only 
resize partitions that are not being used.
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

You might be able to resize the partitions using a partition  manager
like gparted or other partition manager. Of course this only works if
both logical drives on the same physical drive.

I do not remember if you specified you drive set up earlier.
