You can do it with Logical Volume Manager,
assuming LVM was used to create the partitions.
This is a procedure I use to remove the /home partition completely and
grow the root partition into the available space.
/home should be empty / or backed up..
In this example I want to remove the /home partition and reallocate
the space to the / partiton to increase it's size.
