Thread: Trying to extent Ubuntu-Partition: Couldn't find valid filesystem block

im trying extent ubuntu-partition there no space left. after having issues (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1870560) warning in gparted:

code:

e2label: no such file or directory while trying pen /dev/sd5 couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.  couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.  dumpe2fs 1.41.14 (22-dec2010) dumpe2fs: no such file or directory whole trying open / dev/sd5

fdisk -l gives me this:

code:

/dev/sda1            2048    20482047    10240000   27  hidden ntfs winre /dev/sda2   *    20482048   262116539   120817246    7  hpfs/ntfs/exfat /dev/sda3       323532800   625137663   150802432    7  hpfs/ntfs/exfat /dev/sda4       282585087   323532799    20473856+   f  w95 erw.

how should proceed if want exent sd5 unallocated space without loosing data?

are using live cd this? linux partitions within extended sda4 partition, not able running installed ubuntu sda4 have mounted run ubuntu. not possible that.

however, confused. appear have 12gb linux root (presumably) partition, , reason 2 4gb swap partitions. why two? , there not seem huge amounts of unallocated space on disk, though simpler if see screenshot gparted.

think delete first of 2 swap partitions , use remaining 1 installation's linux partition, still give maximum space of 4gb; enough you?

think need more information please exact wishes, , screenshot please.
