Hello,
I have 8 project space partitions for potential OSes to install.
However my Raspberry Pi 5 desktop OS now only has 200 GiB space, exactly like the 8 project spaces.
My internal media is nvme m.2 2TB.
My external media is nvme m.2 2TB which was previously backed up on the internal nvme m.2 2TB with Raspberry Pi 5 OS.
My idea is to delete 1 of the project space partitions, and add the 200 GiB to the Raspberry Pi 5 desktop OS, increasing space from 200 to 400 GiB.
This 400 GiB space is enough for 300 GiB of the external nvme m.2. 2TB with 1.8TB of data, but 300 GiB of critical data to be backed up.
My concern is that PINN OS whilst functional, is a live grenade, with any changes having wipe all PINN OS configuration and needing full install of OSes.
Might someone know of exact steps to select so I can make the resizing please?
Or maybe wipe everything and reinstall Raspberry Pi5 desktop OS with 400 GiB rather than 200 GiB?
