- The key sign near the FS wont allow us to do any of the operation on that FS, since this is in use right now.
- If there is key sign on the linux-swap then you can choose swap-off and do the operation.
- try to make changes to extended partition only, so that you can add many partitions here
- EXT4 partitions means Linux FileSystem
- NTFS partitions means Windows Filesystem
If you want to resize the already booting FS then use a bootable usb and use gparted to change everything.
