Hi there, I'm trying to increase the size of the ext3 partition on my hard disc. I have the space, my hard disc is as follows:
sda1 - 1Gib linux-swap
sda2 - 11.75Gib ntfs - flagged as boot
sda3 - ext3 1.99Gi /initrd/mnt/dev_save root - (there's 400Mib free in this partition)
sda4 - 3.92Gib extended
sda5 - 3.92Gib ext3 - I set this up in an effort to extend my ext3 facility - sda5 is a sub partition to sda4, I'm not sure how that hapenned, it wasn't my intent.
sda 1 and sda3 have a padlock symbol against them showing they are locked. Is it possible to unlock sda3 so I can enlarge the 1.99Gib partition up to include the 3.92Gib sda4/5 partition to make it 5.91Gib. I have tried to unmount sda3 which works but the partition remains locked.
Disc partitioning: how to enlarge my Ext3 partition?

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.
