Resizing/sliding Linux ext4 partitions kills OS
Posted: Wed Jun 12, 2019 7:11 pm
Hello everyone. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I'm trying to resize one of my ext4 partitions smaller, then trying to slide it past the swap partition and next to my /home partition to then resize it bigger. It works during partition work under both BIBM v1.52 and IFL v3.26, but then I can't boot into my Linux Mint 19 install. My specifics:
Desktop machine with multiple HDD's and SSD's installed.
Linux Mint 19.1 installed to it's own dedicated SSD (Samsung EVO 860, 1TB)
Drive is partitioned as:
/boot
/
swap
/home
Have tried the resize and slide in both BIBM 1.52 and IFL 3.26. I even tried booting with Gparted and ran into same problem.
I suspect this has something to do with UUID's but don't know how to tackle this. Can anyone help? Thank you.
