partitioning - Having two partition of Home on ubuntu, increasing home

I have a bit of space limitation on my Home partition. The configuration of my partition is:




  • A windows Recovery


  • Drive C windows

  • Drive D windows

  • Deleted and formated to EXt4 to add to ubuntu

  • 695 MB boot

  • 30.26 Root

  • 20.49 Swap

  • 39.11 Home



A screenshot of my drives

I freed my windows D partition (21.48 GB). I really need to increase my home size:




  1. Can I just partition this new freed drive as home as well? Can I have two seperate partitions as home at the same time?

  2. Alternatively, can I change the swap to new freed space, and expand the home (the last partition to the old swap that is just before it). In this way, because the start of the home partition will change, will I loost my home partition table, and have a mess? (loose data?)

  3. Is there any other alternative partition I can just add instead of home? I want to use this partition for my Android studio, etc. that are eating my home Memory.
    Thank you for your help and experience.
