Is partitioning N9 safe?
 

Hello
I have a partiton table in N9 like this:
Partition "/" - 4,2 GB
Partition "/home" - 2,1 GB
Partition "/home/user/MyDocs" - 9,5 GB

I want to have it like this:
Partition "/" - 3,2 GB
Partition "/home" - 4,1 GB
Partition "/home/user/MyDocs" - 8,5 GB

Can I do it with GParted (when my N9 is connected to PC, Ubiboot console appears and my partitons of N9 are on PC).
Is it possible? Is it safe?

Greetings, thanks for any replies :)

I have done it as described, with gparted in linux, though i made root and /home smaller and grew MyDocs. Also, from a linux computer and while booted to ubiboot console i have created backups of the contents of / and /home partitions using linux tar command and restored them successfully by unarchiving them back into (emptied) partition.

May be of interest, the command i'm using to create a backup archive:
(first 'cd' to the partition you want to backup or restore)
and to restore with

Thank you for reply. And what, your N9 after partitioning is still alive? :P

Yes, it's working fine. Though i don't dare to say that it is totally safe, i've done it with no problems. Create a backup first.

Edit: i'm not sure, but maybe to be on the safe side, don't delete and recreate partitions, just resize them. That's what i did.
