It's fun danger time. :)
They're small. Perhaps compressing onto a usb stick would be a go as a first
step.
Then you have two options:
1. copy and resize
a. copy data in sda7 to sda6
b. with fdisk -c -u not the beginning of 6 and end of 7
c. delete 6 and 7
d. recreate 6 so that it begins where 6 did and ends where 7 did and save
- very important to get right. most important is to get the beginning
exactly the same. if you cannot, quit without saving and go for option
2.
- ending is less important. don't fret there
e. if sda is in use, reboot after commening out their entries in /etc/fstab
f. fsck the fs on 6 (the new 6)
g. use resize2fs to resize that filesystem
h. adjust fstab as appropriate
2. format and copy back
a. do b-e from above
b. mkfs.ext3 (or 4 if you want) on 6
c. copy from usb stick
d. adjust fstab as appropriate
Fun times ahead. :)
