Great work JohnD
So it means downloads are now downloaded directly to the Central home partition [...]
So it means downloads are now downloaded directly to the Central home partition, and in the newly named Downloads_local it has the symbolic links to the files so they are usable from here too?
Will you have to create symbolic links manually for each new download, or have you set it to make these automatically some how ?

For me it sounds a very complex and advanced set up, but it is also very interesting how it works.

I have 1 windows computer, and a 3 Linux Lite computers, but at each one it is only 1 OS installed, I don't dual boot etc. I have other distros in Linux Lite (ultimately controls them) using Virtual Box, so I can test things at a future time.(Python, and scripts)
Are you booting from Windows MBR and then using this to boot also Linux when selected at the start up menu?Or it has Grub, and installed after this, Windows was installed first ?
Is this having windows (re; dos and ntfs) as the first partition?
Can you post the screenshot of Code: [Select]fdisk -l
fdisk -l
Hello JohnD,you have to unmount it, it says one way is to use a live cd or usb.I added some tutorial links above that I found on resizing using gparted.
Update -Hello,I have just reread you post, the maximum number of primary partition is 4, it says on the Ubuntu link.Of your, about 19 partitions, how many are primary ?
Hello.How can I check the real sequence of the partitions on linux command line? RegardsJohnD
sudo lsblk -o NAME,FSTYPE,SIZE,MOUNTPOINT,LABEL
