Expanding my Linux's Partition

My Linux partition was so small (40GB) and I need to resize it and delete my Windows’s partition. So I must backup my Linux partition and restore to the big one. I use dd to do this, very simple software.

Backup : dd if=/dev/sdax of=file.img

Restore : dd if=file.img of=/dev/sdax

Restore with proggress bar :**dd if=FILE.IMG

pv -s $(stat file.img

egrep -o “Size : [[:digit::]]*”

egrep -o “[[:digit:]]*”)

dd of=/dev/sdax**

After waiting restoration progress, finally I got 92.7 GB for my Linux space ! Woohoo !
