Betreff: Re: Need help; safe way to shrink my fedora38 installation disk
I got the partition that was last wrong.
You would have to know the sizes and used of the various mount points
and have to know how/if btrfs has enough free and how to re-arrange
that free space to be at the end so you can resize.
In general adding a 2nd installation after the fact is very
complicated. Even adding the 2nd install when you left free space is
not the most straightforward as the installer program has to do
everything right, and the installer person has to also not pick the
wrong options and damage the 1st install.
The few times I do a 2nd install the 2nd install is on its own boot
device (usually a usb disk), and I tend to not run 2 installs for very
long. I have done 3 install with the same grub setup (legacy boot)
but that setup was designed to have 3 installs and the grub merging of
the 3 /boots into one set of boot options had to be done entirely
manually as each installer at the time wanted to do its own grub.cfg
and not share. That all might be better using UEFI since UEFI can
work as the switch between the 3 /boots.

Hmmh, that is very sad. I never touched something, only installed with
the preferred options from the installer...
Fyi:
I want to make space for a second linux Installation, not an
additional
partition.
Does it mean that i have erase the whole disk, because it is btrfs?
