The problem here is that the standard filesystem resizing tools assume |
| 8 |
that the end of the partition has changed. not the start. If there's |
| 9 |
enough space, I'd suggest creating a new sda2, copying the contents of |
| 10 |
sda4 to it (preferably with rsync) and setting the bootloader and fstab |
| 11 |
to use sda2 instead of sda4. Then he can delete sda3/4, create a new swap |
| 12 |
partition at the end of the drive and resize sda2 to whatever size he |
| 13 |
wants. |

|

Alternatively, just put /home onto sda2, it all depends on the size the |
| 16 |
the partitions and their contents. |
